Just a bit of Happiness

I have set the table for me and you. We will at lunch on a Sunday afternoon at two. Don't be late because that will make me said. Bring art and I will be glad!


Lately I have been buying lots of dishes and glassware at thrift stores around town. Some of my latest aquirements would be the vintage aluminum cake pan that has a wooden acorn knob with acorn detailing around the side of it. It is quite cute! I have also been trying to find vintage fine china pieces to add to my collection for when I move out. Recently, I have gotten little berry bowls with the tiniest floral print around the edge. I have also been finding some of the smaller plates. My favorite pattern so far would be the Crown Victoria Lovelace pattern. The slight white lace pattern on top of a white plate adds that bit of sweetness we all need in our lives. I went to the McKee Thrift Store in Downtown Loveland a few days ago, and found a beautiful serving plate and serving dish for just $3! What a steal!



My school held an art show on April 3oth which featured a lot of my art that I have created this school year. In just this year, I have taken Metalsmithing I, Drawing I, Drawing II, and Sculpture I. I was bound to have something in the art show. The pictures below are some of my favorite pages of the altered book I created in Drawing II.








This page has scrapbooking paper, lace, and a silk flower on it and was left blank so that I could draw or right on it.


This page has a foreshortened drawing assignment cut and pasted onto the page. The man and women are drawn with Prismacolors. If you want to add color to your life, Prismacolors are a great way to do that. They are so vibrate and bold, they can turn a boring piece of art into something amazing!



This page is the last page in the book. The yellow page is a two inch deep cut out with a quote in one of the last pages of The Great Gatsby.


The man that was featured on the original page looked like the 'boring man' in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I decided I would take advantage of that and create a page devoted to just that.



This is a drawing I did in Drawing II that was about the communication between the alive and the dead. I created this drawing in one night. The night before it was due actually.



I did this drawing in Drawing I which is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This drawing probably took me the longest out of them all.
