As much as I am one of those artist that likes working in my studio with only the birds chirping outside and my copper waterfall running right outside of my studio doors and don't forget the music playing in the background, it sure is nice to set aside a day and have girlfriends over to play and create art...
It probably would of looked better if I had the water running...ooops!
Well, anyways... Lori came over with a friend of hers, Jackie, who I just adore!!! I love making new friends and she is a hoot. We each brought something for us to make and after a day of laughing until we had tears in our eyes, this is what we made:
This is what Jackie brought for each of us to make...way cool! I love the way that it turned out, it is hard to see that on the bottom of the jar, we created a ocean scene with sea shells, water, pearls, etc.
This is what Lori brought for each of us to make...I just love these. Each year at Christmas time, our family makes 3 homemade ornaments and put them on the tree. You guessed it, my whole tree is homemade ornaments. Then as each child grows up and starts their own family, we will give them an ornament from each year to hang on their tree. Now, you ask, why the third ornament...as each of their kids grows up, we will give them a few ornaments that their parents made to hang on their tree.
Ok, I was asked if I would show them how to paint a journal, so I chose my most recent one that I had made and this is what we made.
Now, to top the whole day off, Lori and Jackie brought food not only for the 3 of us to eat, but for my whole family...what awesome friends I have...Thanks girls!!!
I also, received this gift from Jackie...
Now, this is a real bird's nest...how cool is that! Don't worry, no birds were hurt or removed to make this project. This is an abandoned nest that she found in her yard. She then filled it up and created this piece for me...Oh, how lucky can a girl get...Thank you Jackie!!!!
Well, that is my show and tell... I sometimes get so busy in my everyday life with things that I do forget to stop and have a play date with friends, so thanks for reminding me Lori and Jackie, you made my day!!!
