Paper beads

starts today.
Happy new year!
It’s Plymouth Ice Festival time again!

There is snow.

There is ice.

There is a fire truck.

There are crowds.

There is food.

There is skiing.

There are crazies.
Plymouth, my home town.
These are a few pages of a sketchbook I did for the Sketchbook Project. My subject was forks and spoons.






My friend Lynn Krawczyk is the busiest person I know. She has amazing things going on in her life, and I couldn’t begin to tell you half of them, but I do want to tell you a little about her Etsy shop. She is selling all her silk screens, inks, and now fabric she has designed. She is an amazing woman.
Lynn has many amazing artists (including herself) designing her silkscreen images. She has graciously allowed me to design a few, and I wanted to show you three new designs of mine that she carries.

Pop over to her Etsy store, here, and check out all the stuff she’s got going on!

Mark and I have been working on clearing out our sunroom. I’ve been painting the cement floor black to attract heat in the winter.

We have lots of stuff to deal with, but it is getting put away.

We made space for a new, big table.

We are enjoying the flat surface right now, we know we will have it covered in stuff in no time.
We had our second Thursday bar art meeting last night, but instead of a bar we met at Took’s.

Took has art supplies!!

We did automatic drawings, where you scribble and find images in the scribble. Took is very good at finding images.

Peggy found fish, and a cat and a dog wrestling.

Joan found a clown so scary it scared her!

Janice stares at the paper, but it doesn’t speak to her. She will need practice!
Thank you, Took, for hosting. It was a lot of fun. I do sort of miss sitting in a dark bar drinking, though, I’ll have to hit one soon.
