paintings, drawings, balls and a little bird

Hello Readers!

It has been 2 weeks since I was last here. I have things to share. Get a cuppa and find a comfy seat.

Enjoy!

I made a boatload of envelopes. Most are still not actually done.

All are acrylics and marker on plain white envelopes.

I sent this one off yesterday morning and neglected to take a picture of its transformation. I added a bit more marker work to the front side and sealed it all up with tape to hold the envelope together through the postal machines.

I didn't add anymore marker work to this one before stuffing it and readying it for its journey through the postal system.

This one has some added marker work and a bit of text on the backside.

I zentangled this one all over in shades of green before stuffing it and sending it on its way through the postal system.

I did little more than address this one after stuffing it with its contents.

This one got a nice little aluminum medallion taped on with strapping tape. It actually looks a whole lot better in hand than it does in this photograph.

I didn't do much more to this one either. For some reason we don't have a picture of the back of this one.

I painted this envelope with acrylics the same time I painted that whole mess of envelopes. Not sure why this one doesn't have a before picture.

I made a few Artist Trading Cards.

54 woven paper balls

a closer look at some of those.

53 woven paper balls

The larger balls are about the size of a golfball.

11 teensy tiny woven paper balls. These are about half an inch. And a pain in the butt to weave! Big ones are much easier!!!

And lastly, I made a wool bird with copper wire legs and feet. He's about 4 inches tall. This isn't the greatest picture of the cute little fella. I'll probably make some more of these little guys. I need to practice making wire legs though. There are some major issues with his legs! Nothing that can't be worked out. I am not daunted easily.

As usual, I have other projects in the works. I'll be back in a week or so to show you all what has occurred. 

Thanks for reading!

Remember:

Be good to one another!

It matters!

Peace
