Thankful Thursday - Guilty Pleasure

Alright, alright, I admit it, I'm totally addicted to a reality show. Work Of Art - The Next Great Artist just started up again, and I'm so excited. Do any of you watch it? It's an art competition, and I think it's fascinating. It's this fun glimpse into other artists minds. I also really like the challenges that they put the artists through. I'd love to follow along and do the challenges myself (ahh, if there were only more hours in a day). This week the artists had to choose a from a variety of "bad" art pieces. They had a clown on velvet, dogs playing poker, etc. The artist's then had to create a "true" work of art using the bad art as inspiration, keeping at least some aspect of the original intact and recognizable. It was fascinating to see what they did. A few pieces seemed worse than when they started, but many of them were really creative and wonderful. They went in directions I never would have thought to go. It's really inspiring. Who knows, maybe I'll make a trip to the thrift shop. However, whether I paint along, or not, I will certainly be watching.
How about you, do you have any guilty pleasure that you're thankful to watch?

On The Road Again

Hi Kids. Art In The Gardens was this weekend and it was really nice. I must admit that I'm a little happy that the "Queen For A Day" part of it is over. This morning, I'm leaving for the San Francisco. I'll be going to the wholesale gift show and supply shopping at the big wholesale flower market - good times. Four star hotel here I come!

Flowers On A Friday - Botanical Confetti

Lavender Fields Botanical Confetti Blend



Woodland Petal Confetti Blend



Harvest Blend Petal Confetti


Lately, I've been making these Petal Confetti and Botanical Confetti mixes. Primarily they are for tossing at wedding (instead of rice). I think they are so pretty, and  Lavender Fields smells amazing! The mini pumpkins are really sweet in the Harvest Blend. It can be so fun to play with flowers!

Happy weekend everybody. For all the locals I will be doing some demonstrations today at the Botanical Garden's Over The Garden Fence Event - please stop by if you can.

Art In The Gardens

Hello local folks, this one is for you. I will be at Art In The Gardens today, showing and selling my wears. I will also be working on my new 3-D dress piece. So, if you are in the area (Fort Bragg, CA) please stop by and say hi. Hope to see you there, it should be a great day (if you enjoy fog, which I do).
