I'm looking for some great beads to add!<br /><br />Rose also says "Thanks" and that the shimmer is from just little bit of glitter. Also, she isn't sure why she chose sculpture, its just her favorite right now!<br /><br />Take care, everyone, see you next week.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202818649353178012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-42028201893733763872010-02-19T19:55:59.029-08:002010-02-19T19:55:59.029-08:00Maureen! I was wondering where you were..I've ...Maureen! I was wondering where you were..I've missed you! Again I love your creation! Thank you for all your words about my pieces! I'm smiling right now - the first piece the drawing of the girl under the tree is an original by me, the second which is a journal cover is material I love as the cover and spine and the last is the crayon I made - I just put GLITTER ones in my shop how awesome is that?? I'm having SOOO much fun making them it's crazy and Doodle thinks they rock. She's carrying around a glitter crayon tiara!!

Love your painting. I can SMELL the flower!<br /><br />Althea--I'm always amazed at what you can do with yarn--I can barely make scarves.<br /><br />Teri--your construction is always so crisp. Is this a reversible bag? or two different sides???<br /><br />Amanda--you've managed to make a storm beautiful, and I love the message.<br /><br />Kris--wow! you had a creative explosion this week!! my favorite is the sunbear mobile--I can just see it with sunbeams shining through it.<br /><br />Felicia--I can't look at your picture without smiling--those colors are a definite spirit-booster.<br /><br />Trina--I don't even know what a needle case is (other than a case for needles!!), but it's beautiful! and I love the pendant. My vote would be to make the pearl and ruby hangy-down pieces longer . .. add more beads there . . <br /><br />Rose--I love your hungry giraffe, and all the sparkles. How did you do that?<br /><br />Bird--sunflowers against a blue sky are one of my favorite images, along with sunrises/sunsets!!!<br /><br />Natasha---I gotta gotta gotta have one of those crayons! They look like magic!!! And some of my favorite childhood memories are of sitting under a tree, reading . . . When you said you "fell in love with this material," what did you mean? did you draw that journal cover?? or is it assembled from something?? whatever, I can see a little girl loving it . .<br /><br />A giant hug to all who participated this week, in posting art and in commenting. You guys are something special.aquamaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368274520999097910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-10920899697663961082010-02-18T19:28:24.273-08:002010-02-18T19:28:24.273-08:00it has been a crazy day, but i just wanted to let ...it has been a crazy day, but i just wanted to let everyone know how much i enjoyed this weeks pieces! so sunny and bright and interesing! and, so many to look at! i hope to come back later and really soak them all in!giraffelabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668937043163419117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-25626875236438580592010-02-18T19:24:56.042-08:002010-02-18T19:24:56.042-08:00Hi, TST lovelies!

Thank you for all your kind words - both about the TST (just so you know its you guys who make this place magic!) And my piece. I never thought of it as a card but it would work - that triggered another image of her in my head!!! Maybe a box of assorted cards with her?? I used inks, ink pads, watercolors and markers to create her. Thank you again - what a bright, beautiful day its been ;)Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700445200303617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-42389354066023033372010-02-18T18:01:15.989-08:002010-02-18T18:01:15.989-08:00Wonderful work everybody!

What a bright collection of beautiful pieces.<br /><br />1st Trina & Natasha - thank you ladies - I surprised myself this week. lo the little squiggles & glass do make a nice tinkly sound. <br /><br />Jodi - the cuff is gorgeous - perfect use of that pretty cabochon. <br />Erica - Natasha put my thoughts about your painting quite well. <br />Maureen YES!!!! I am so happy to see a "sturdy" and open "AnnieMae", open to love, warmth, sunshine in her life!!! Wonderful painting!<br />Althea - The hat is so great - oh I think I'm going to have to put a yellow lightening streak on my bear! Isn't it great when 1 idea leads to others!<br />Amanda - what a beautiful reminder to look for the good when times are rough. <br />Teri - I like!! :-) Nice use of contrasts and using black for 1 side & the print on the other. <br />Felicia - oh yes, it does look like the sun streaks through my window hitting my paint brushes- did you sneak in my apt when I wasn't looking? Love the colors!<br />Rose - I really like your complex idea here - it's not just a giraffe, but a giraffe by a water hole snacking on a tree, and they are all so bright and shiny. Wonderful little sculpture! :-)<br />Trina - love the colors & buttons on the needle case.The pendant - I like the way you are so creative with your chainmaille - yes add some beads!<br />Bird - Beauty simply elegantly expressed in words to these excellent photos. <br />Natasha - I just love the girl sitting under the heart tree! It would also be a sweet card! I'm curious what did you use to create this? watercolors, markers...?<br />I imagine any little girl would love the sweet journal - and the crayon - oh yes that would be so fun to color with! I'm surprised you were surprised at how much fun you had with yellow! lo<br />Thank you for all you do Ms. Natasha, for giving us this bright beautiful place!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745918161344486602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-8260813640501246842010-02-18T14:14:19.226-08:002010-02-18T14:14:19.226-08:00Trina - LOL...no way you are NEVER too old to play...Trina - LOL...no way you are NEVER too old to play with crayons...I have a bunch more coming into my store...just wait till you see them LOL...and thank you...I loved making that falling heart piece...the journal goes into the store tomorrow...it just makes me smile when I loook at it :)Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700445200303617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-54284297135933127772010-02-18T14:10:26.944-08:002010-02-18T14:10:26.944-08:00Trina!!

So many wo...Wow, what an outpouring of sunshine!!!<br /><br />So many wonderful things to comment on...<br /><br />Jodi, I just can't resist, since these are my College colors -- Go Huskies (Univ. of Washington). Can I borrow the bracelet for the next game?<br /><br />Erica, what a beautiful painting. I love the contrast of the violet tulip with the wash of golden yellow. It feels so rich and warm.<br /><br />Maureen, I'm so glad you brought AnnieMae back. She just makes me smile.<br /><br />Althea, I have a thing for fun, funky hats. This one would go nicely in my collection. I love it!<br /><br />Amanda, Thanks for the reminder that there's always sunshine up there, just waiting to be found.<br /><br />Teri, This is so wonderful. I love the colors and the buttons. And the bow, and the shape, and the...<br /><br />Kris, what a great idea, to put together your drawing and your daughter's poem. Both are amazing. Also, everytime I look at "Sunbear" I can't help but imagine the beautiful music that piece would make gently swinging in the breeze.<br /><br />Felicia, What a great "pick-me-up" print. The bright colors and the uplifting message are wonderful.<br /><br />Bird, I love the words that you choose to include with your images. You have a great talent for finding a match between written and visual expressions.<br /><br />Natasha, I really love the tree with the falling heart. I think that will make a very special journal cover indeed. I am also totally in love with that butterfly crayon. Am I too old to play with crayons?<br /><br />Have a great week, everyone. I'll see you next Thursday in the Tropics!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202818649353178012noreply@blogger.com
