I have done 2 challenges in one, again.
TGIF's Dream and
Art Creations Friday's picture of the girl. And believe it or not, this was not a ready made scene that I plopped her into. I started with the girl, then added bricks, then added a window, and then added shutters, one at a time, then the flower box and then flowers and then the fence, one section at a time (there are 4 sections), and then of course the quote.... I guess even all those steps sound simple... I had fun thinking it up and finding all the parts, and getting the right shades of grey so they all went well together. I think it would make a great
greeting card, or framed print.
Tomorrow I am going to the American Institute of Architecture's Sandcastle contest in Galveston. The sandcastles they do are incredible. Truly works of art. I work at an engineering firm and my boss is having me go down and promote our company. After the promoting is done, I will get to enjoy the sandcastles and the day...
I was thinking I might even take some inspiration from
Pat and go looking for some mermaids tears when my job is done... I have been wanting to ever since I found her
blog. I will let you know if I find any.
Thanks for visiting!
Peace & Love,
Risa
