Fusion: Floral Wall

I have this oh-so-talented crafty friend who likes to "card everyone" and she sent me this sweet stem of flowers - stamped on watercolor paper.  Watercoloring scares me and I think she was telling me to be brave and go for it!  I didn't dive into the deep end of the pool but I did use water.  I scribbled some zig markers on blocks and painted with an aquapainter - not too scary - maybe I will swim out farther next time!  Thank you Michele!

I was inspired by both the photo and the sketch this week at Fusion!

Still Celebrating....FMS400/300

The sketch this week is originally #300.  We are repeating a few sketches as part of our 400 Sketch celebration.  This time around I used a sweet carousel in the oval as the focal point.  

One hundred sketches ago I created a bouquet of flowers using this sketch.  The right hand rectangle became the focal point of the design.  I love how you can take the same sketch and and interpret it in so many ways.

Show us your interpretation of our sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!

Fusion: Family

When the Big Guy and I bought a tiny cabin on a lake forty years ago we had no idea (and no children at the time) that it would become the center of family gatherings.  I'd be a millionaire if I had a nickel for every time a kid jumped off the dock......or the boat...or an inner tube...or someone's shoulders!  I do a lot more reading by the lake these days than jumping in the lake - the next generation has that well in hand.  On quiet days I swear I can still see my dad teaching my son to fish off the rock wall.......

I love the lake scenes you can build from this Hero Arts set!  Hope you join us at Fusion!
