  2. Oh Rocks! Now What?

    December 27, 2011 by Administrator

     

    I painted faces on rocks. Why??????… Why do I paint anything? Because it was there and calling out for paint!

    Now what? I’m not sure what to do next with my rock paintings.

    Do you have any suggestions?

  3. Creative Play – Bookmarks from Shipping Tags

    December 19, 2011 by Administrator

     

    These bookmarks were created using shipping tags, paint, old book pages, Mod Podge, and various embellishments.  Creating these bookmarks was great fun!  I plan to include a tag with various family Christmas gifts. I hope my family members enjoy using them.

  4. I’m Graduating- A New Entrepreneur

    December 9, 2011 by Administrator

    I enrolled in a 10-week course for entrepreneurs  offered through the local Small Business and Technology Development Center. For a reasonable cost, the course offers training in starting and running a business based on the FASTRAC – New Venture Program from the Kauffman Foundation. I found this class through my local community college.

    I have learned a great  deal. Cash  flow, financing, legal structure, social networking and many other subjects were discussed by weekly presenters from the local business community. The goal of the course is for each participant to create a business plan. Private coaching is also available.

    I have also learned a lot from my fellow participants which are all present or future entrepreneurs.  This class has been great and has helped me create a solid business plan.

  7. You Too Can Paint….

    by Administrator

    Try painting  Ginger Bread Friends:

     

    1. Use a #12 flat brush double loaded with dark brown and white to form the gingerbread man shape. Keep the brown to the outside and the white to the inside  of the figure as you paint.

    2. Use a small scruffy brush loaded with light brown and white to stipple the gingerbread man.

    3. Stroke white for icing . Stroke brown under the white for shadows.

    4. Add a red dot for a mouth. Highlight the mouth with a white dot and add a brown shadow under the mouth.

    These little guys are fun to paint. Use them to decorate greeting cards or ornaments. Give them a try!
