MORE COLLAGES




The photos above are three more collages I've finished in the past two weeks.

I've noticed that all my art is the same color scheme. I need to deviate and go out of my comfort zone.

Those paints from Tri Art have really got me motivated!!!

FINISHED BRACELET








DONE! This bracelet is for Gloria (Shari's mom). It's a Thank You gift for her hospitality when I was in Naples visiting.



Actually , it turned out better than I thought. I was very critical of it as I was making it. The end product looks good to me. Hope she likes it....



MIRANDA

This has been quite a week. My grandaughter Miranda has been staying with me. It's really been fun, but hectic. I love having her around. She reminds me of when I was young and full of hopes and dreams. She will be 14 in October.
Typical teenager.
I have to compliment all parents who chauffer their kids around. I have spent the past five days driving and picking her up from various activities (not complaining) . She's very social and loves to keep busy.
I hope I haven't been too over protective with her. I make sure I know where she's at and who she's with when she's out..
I'll miss her very much,but not all the driving.
Isn't she pretty? I have a right to brag. It's OK for GRANDMAS to do so.
