sunday doodles

This Sunday after church

our two boys had baseball practice.

I decided to bring my church doodle journal

and add some color while I  watched

and waited.

new obsession

There are times when I become artistically obsessed

with specific things.  

A few years ago I had a butterfly obsession.

Right now it's feathers.

They are everywhere too.  

Apparently I'm not the only one :)

Here are a few feathers I painted

and framed last night.

They are pretty small.

The artwork is 2.5"s3.5" 

(standard ATC size)

and the frames are a little over 

4"x5".

They were super fun and quick 

to paint.

I have some more feather projects

in the works, so stay tuned!

Artwork completed using

watercolors and Micron pens

on Bristol board.

teaching the little guys

In a few weeks I get the chance

to teach calligraphy/handwriting to some

Montessori students at Jefferson Elementary.

They are pretty young (1st-3rd graders)

so I decided to start them with skeleton

letterforms using a pencil.

These are the worksheets

I will use to teach.

I really love teaching children.

They are curious and ready to try

anything.

I think they will like playing with all my fun

pens at the end of our time the best!!

sunday doodles

It has been fun to move my Sunday Doodles 

to one sketchbook.

I like looking back at what I have done 

and learned

(even if they only make sense to me).

Some Sunday Doodles are more successful than others :)

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

co-op

I have the privilege of being part of a great artist's co-op

in Spokane, WA, where I live.

It's a collection of about 25 local artists and all sorts 

of mediums.  Everything from jewelry to pottery to fiber arts

to calligraphy!

I have art prints, painted rocks, greeting cards, framed art, bookmarks...

pretty much anything you can put words on!

Here are a few more shots of my space at the shop.

The shop is called

The Pottery Place Plus

and it's located in downtown Spokane.

In the coming weeks I will

feature some of the other

talented artists in our co-op.

Stay tuned to see some inspiring pottery,

candles, fibers, jewelry, skateboard and more!
