It's Wednesday again and I'm getting back into my 'groove' now that school is back and I'm delighted to have spent some time in the studio. One of my 'new school year' resolutions is to work through and finish some of the online classes I've started..... There are so many fabulous classes out there that I'm like a child in a sweet shop and I just want them all!!! I currently have about 4 that I've signed up for so I really need to get on with it ...lol!
So, on my desk today ...
One of the classes I'm doing is '52 Card Pick-Up' by Stephanie Ackerman and these are my 52 playing cards. I'm preparing all the backgrounds first and then working through all the cards. The 5 in front have been coated in tissue paper with a swipe of gesso. Holes have been punched in the corner so I can attach them all to a large ring.
In the background you can also see 3 little birdhouses which I'm working on for a class project, and as always, those little Percy Piglets hiding too!
Thanks for your visit and I hope you're having a great week. For more info on this blog-hopping extravaganza, visit Julia over at The Stamping Ground.
Until next time ... happy painting ...

It's all in the preparation isn't it - bet once you get that under your belt..there'll be no stopping you and the classes will pass by in a jif. The birdhouses look nice already...nice that they're different but the same. Is that eclectic?
ReplyDeleteI love the shapes of those bird houses, are you altering them?

The houses are wonderful and the cards look like something I have to try, too ... one of the many things to add to my to do list. This desk hopping is so very inspiring. Have a great day, Suzanne
