Unfolding Ferns

I love to watch the ferns unfold in the spring. They are a little package all rolled up waiting for the sun and a warm day.

Model Magic Clay Landscape

Mixing Model Magic clay to create new colors, I created a semi abstract landscape 4.75" x 3.5". White acrylic ink for the details.

Hello Kitty

Rusty had to have a tooth pulled - now he has one fang and sometimes his lip gets caught and we have a laugh at his expense. He's showing you where he had to have his leg shaved for the IV.

Hello Kitty. 

Mother's Day Pots

My first graders made these delightful heart pots for Mother's Day and I had to share them. They mixed Model Magic to make beautiful pastels and a swish of sparkle Mod Podge made them complete. A pretty heart pinch pot for mom.

While I had the clay out, I mixed my own pastel colors and created a little pot too.

Spring Painting

It's been a rough winter. Busy with student art show and teaching. My kitty died. I kept getting sick and couldn't shake it and many other life things. Results - not much art getting done and I miss it! Here's to spring - fresh and new.

Art Show

My school district hosted a student art show and here are the wonderful works of art created by my first and second grade students.

Colorful Cat

I discovered that I had many water color sets in my art stash that I never use and found an explosion of color that made this colorful cat - well - colorful!
