Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving Day. Now I'm headed for the kitchen to cook. I'm particularly thankful to have tomorrow off as well.

Not done yet, but we had a 30 minute time limit. I need to do more "mark making" and add some sort of focal object.

Making Prints

I spent a good part of the day making prints of some of my journal pages, for a little art/craft sale at the hospital. The organizers of the sale want to feature some of the employees' creative outlets. So I'm going to try to bring some prints, cards, maybe a doll or two, and perhaps doll patterns.

I hope to sell something, because I need to justify buying that expensive printer that uses expensive ink. My pages are all pretty color saturated, so I do go through quite a bit of ink.

 

I'm also working on a Santa doll to take to the sale. This time I started with Santa's nightshirt to better photograph the steps for a couple of doll makers making some for Christmas. I used some flannel I had on hand (green), so I went to the fabric store yesterday to buy more. Can you believe they only had ONE red plaid that was suitable?

Alisa's lesson was about making marks with everyday things. I took it a step farther by creating a mixed media background first, then used many different markers, crayons, etc.
