Yikes, sorry, ladies! <br /><br />Teri: what an amazing idea for placemats! I love anything that encourages creativity in kids--or adults! :) The little pop of red is so pretty on your bag.<br /><br />Aqua: your doodles are so fun. I love finding shapes and "things" in them, whether you intended it or not. I see a playful monster in this one, with its hands held up and a big mouth eating one of the dots! <---just scrolled through the comments here, and I see you noticed it too! :)<br /><br />Bird: I always love your combination of text with imagery. This is lovely!<br /><br />Tasha: the "awwww" factor is high with this one. ;) Isn't it amazing what fun can emerge when we squeeze in even a few minutes of creative activity?Amanda Fall - Sprout editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099642812544000458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-23270063492951291612010-05-21T11:25:49.499-07:002010-05-21T11:25:49.499-07:00Teri I love how your bag is so fun and sophisticat...Teri I love how your bag is so fun and sophisticated at the same time. I guess it's easy to forget we can have both. <br />Maureen at least you have a good excuse for being bad around here! Love the big funky shapes and I really love that you gave the drawing a "door" so it can come out and we can go in! <br />Bird Love the quote, if only we could be like the ladybug and do it all by instinct! <br />Amanda Glad you got to decompress before going away, I hope you had a great time! <br />Tash you're just too sweet to begin with so looking at your piece this week is like a powdered sugar explosion. You two really are lucky to be together!SalvagedExpressionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735098369082767943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-32090074714407875812010-05-21T08:56:08.616-07:002010-05-21T08:56:08.616-07:00Giraffelabel!! I LOVED your pieces!! I was SOOO ha...Giraffelabel!! I LOVED your pieces!! I was SOOO happy that you could play YAY!!! I hope you can next week as well :) If you have another picture of that chalkboard mat please send it along. I'd be happy to add it. I LOVE the chalkboard mat - the baseballs are perfect for this time of year - will you be making more? I love this color and the clutch is sensational - truly every clutch you make is gorgeous but this one stands out. Super work!!<br /><br />Maureen - these doodles were awesome. I actually would love to see them on a large scale - there is something abuot them that reminds me of Keith Haring who I adore. Those mouths - LOL I see them and they are laughing, they are just tickled pink (or red hehehe) by something. Love it.<br /><br />Bird - the quote and picture here are fantastic. I love how incredibly delicate that little ladybug looks - terrific piece.<br /><br />Amanda - I love this doodle - the cirles and star pattern are eye catching. What I enjoy the most is that you "fit" this in....I LOVE the idea of fitting art into our lives it does make the days better doesn't it.<br /><br />Thank you all for the comments on my piece - I loved playing with my daughter - yes, Maureen there is truly nothing like it LOL...and I loved just creating for fun....and thank you for mentioning our class .... it was such an amazing experience and you were incredible!<br /><br />And I, too, miss everyone who was here ...I know lots of folks have shows right now so they are swamped but will be back and I feel bad...I've not been here the way I should as I've been sidetracked with teaching and whatnot - don't give up on me....I will gone for a bit but back in September for more playtime :)Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700445200303617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-75902395207263338432010-05-21T07:44:49.564-07:002010-05-21T07:44:49.564-07:00I loved this week's offerings . . from "p...I loved this week's offerings . . from "pieces created to sell," to relaxing, meditative "doodles," our artistic voices were heard.<br /><br />Teri--I always love the artistry in your purses/bags. But today I"m intrigued by the chalkboard cloth/mat . . never heard of that before. I knew chalkboard paint existed, but i love the idea of this transportable mat.<br /><br />Bird--this photo is wonderful. I LOVE the closeup, showing a tiny moment in the leaf's life, being a meal for the ladybug . . <br /><br />Amanda--didn't doodling relax you?? I feel like I've found a whole new way to take a mental "time out"--and my hands just love making color swirl and sweep on the page . . <br /><br />I just happened to scan past my own offering quickly, as I was reviewing the others, and the innies and outies of my main "figure" suddenly made me thing of open mouths in cartoon characters!! I hope they are open with laughter and not yelling!!<br /><br />Tasha--I love the light and joy in your piece . . and I love that you were playing with your daughter . . aren't daughters great playmates??? NO, I'm not dismissing sons, but I currently have a daughter I play with. And even though she's married and all grown up in one way, she is still a GREAT "little kid" to play with!!<br /><br />Thanks to those who grabbed time to make and share this week. Hey, all you other guys who used to be here: I really miss you!! Any chance you'll be coming back here to share your creative life with me?aquamaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368274520999097910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-48687912072851708692010-05-20T18:33:54.194-07:002010-05-20T18:33:54.194-07:00this was a fun week!! i was so happy to play, and...this was a fun week!! i was so happy to play, and i love all of the work! <br /><br />maureen and amanda - i love your doodles! isn't it cool that two people can use paper and marker/crayons and just come up with totally different ideas.<br /><br />bird - i love the photo and the quote...definitly made me stop and think.<br /><br />natasha - i love your watercolor! the colors and the little ladybugs...love it!<br /><br />i thought i had sent another picture with the chalkoard mat rolled out...that way you can see it more. but, it didn't go through...oh well. thanks again for a fun week, and i look forward to next weeks theme.giraffelabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668937043163419117noreply@blogger.com
