You can click the link (<a href="http://willowing.ning.com/" target="_blank"> here</a> )and go to Tamara Laporte's Ning site and check it out...<br />
Also decided to take her Summer Girls class as part of my sign up package.
These are my first two paintings and I'm very happy with the results!<br />
<br />
<br />
Along with LifeBook 2015 you could choose and extra, add on class of
Tam's so I chose Summer Girls.<br />
She is a mixed media gal on 12X12
Watercolor paper. I used Neocolors, gesso, and acrylic paint. <br />

This is lesson was called Beacon Of Light from week one of LifeBook
2015.<br />
She is painted on 12X12 Watercolor paper.<br />
I Used Neocolors along
with Acrylic paint, Gesso, Stamping, Pencil, Paint Pen, and a little bit
of glitter.<br />
My hope is to let my Light shine brightly so others
can see God through me-<br />
not to glorify me or what I can do- but to
glorify God and show ALL things are possible with HIM. <br />

Santa Claus... I LOVE Christmas and recently discovered I can draw a little bit. So I've been looking for Santa Pictures to draw from. He's Number 3.
Pencil, tissue, and a kneaded eraser.

This is my daddy. We lost him going on 14 years ago. I miss him so very much! I wondered if I could draw him from a photo and get close enough to tell who it was. After a lot of prayers and hours spent pencil in hand I did it. I was blown away with the results... He is the first one I've ever done! I was surprised how it turned out. It goes to show God listens to even the smallest of prayers. <br />
I used pencil, tissue and kneaded eraser for this one also. My pencil is just a cheap .007 lead mechanical pencil from Walmart...nothing fancy at all. </div>

Lay it glue side down on the canvas, burnish it. Let it dry, then lightly spritz the paper with water and start rolling the paper away. Be careful because too much rolling and you will roll your image away. When I had all the paper wiped away I used Crayon de Ache watercolor crayons mixed with a bit of gesso to color him. His cap is just plain acrylic paint. The fuzz on the cap, eyebrows, beard and mustache are joint compound mixed with white paint. Love that stuff for texture!! The background is scrapbook papers collaged on with some joint compound smeared messily here and there - I used a stencil to get the pattern. Full of great texture!! He's not finished just yet but close. I plan to add greenery and pine cone die cuts, and a title. This is done on a 9X12 canvas board.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16842831409261960274noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653214394685966035.post-13770856450357795402014-12-04T10:19:00.000-06:002014-12-04T10:20:08.396-06:00Santa Claus is coming to town!!<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf6o0BPhp0U831tO25M3IOkuQ7r5f1nkVAswdC1qgURKdT9g5sPTtW2bLWcVJgeo55OoZ9f78zyeQIji-g7VzBzU8zHC9yURq1Y7jinbauHQKe7pSF9_kj12x0hNCLRish1ln5GwhmSsw/s1600/photo-708397.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf6o0BPhp0U831tO25M3IOkuQ7r5f1nkVAswdC1qgURKdT9g5sPTtW2bLWcVJgeo55OoZ9f78zyeQIji-g7VzBzU8zHC9yURq1Y7jinbauHQKe7pSF9_kj12x0hNCLRish1ln5GwhmSsw/s400/photo-708397.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6089018126859037058" /></a></p>Santa and the process of getting him in my journal.

I LOVE these!! Easy to apply, contain themselves nicely and great cleanup! What more could a girl want??
<br>I started with yellow, then orange, and then added red (just rubbed them right on the canvas) I added just a tiny bit of water and rubbed with my fingers and blended the colors into one another as I went up into the "sky".
<br>At the bottom I added black, just like above- rubbed it all over the bottom half and added some gray and brown in the areas I wanted little dips in the earth to be (like sunken graves- skeeeeery)
<br>Next I drew a big old tree using the gray Gelato. I added black here and there to give it that old tree look. For the branches I dipped my wet brush into black Gelato that I had rubbed on my mat. I painted black limbs and scary looking "arm-like" branches using black and gray and highlights of white. The crow is painted with black (looks more like a duck in my opinion!)
<br>Lastly, I lightly drew the shape of the old house with black Gelato (leaving tiny spaces for the windows- to be peeked out of!) Color those tiny windows in?? NO! The sky background shows through in the right place so it looks like it's all lit up! (Cookin up somethin creeeeepy in there!!!??) Add some touches of gray and white to the house to give it a look of old wood. And if you look close - you can see the little lady of the house standing on the porch... She's the good witch though- nothing too scary for me!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16842831409261960274noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653214394685966035.post-56544582410054551702014-10-02T18:43:00.001-05:002014-10-02T18:43:56.168-05:00Drawing- makes me so happy!<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51H-rPuaGQ9Jy3HxevrrrJgJTtHEHOObnI3MjOVjW-0kvEdvoO2mHNBnYO5LC8aeyRGooI4WVm95ATvq8iMUAxRMFzP3zQRztbW-8HovPTz8GOAO9Y2MuFsuuaa7l_PPGVB8DkWBPfvw/s1600/image-736168.jpeg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51H-rPuaGQ9Jy3HxevrrrJgJTtHEHOObnI3MjOVjW-0kvEdvoO2mHNBnYO5LC8aeyRGooI4WVm95ATvq8iMUAxRMFzP3zQRztbW-8HovPTz8GOAO9Y2MuFsuuaa7l_PPGVB8DkWBPfvw/s400/image-736168.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6065754125797093938" /></a></p>I have discovered how much I enjoy drawing lately.

<br>More updates to come on living, loving, life, and moving forward.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16842831409261960274noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653214394685966035.post-62706945144294146432013-03-08T21:54:00.001-06:002013-03-08T21:54:16.462-06:00Divorce. Not a pretty post. Not today.
<br>I was thinking, I do a lot of that lately. Unplugged from Internet, except on my phone, no TV in my bedroom ... The very things I thought I couldn't live without and yet I'm still living. I'm breathing. And crying. And hurting. I'm going through a divorce. But why do they say going through? It's like falling in a hole, not passing through anything. And after leaving my lawyers office I thought about how I was feeling... Pain and it's just the beginning. They are like doctors - lawyers are. They both perform services, they both remove something when needed. But a lawyer separates this life, a whole other person who you've grown attached too- regardless of how you were treated, attached none the less. But the removal is so long and drawn out. The pain seems unbearable but yet you are awake, living, trying to function. At least with a doctor it's over faster and they do give you anesthetics. But a lawyer will finally remove the bad part but doesn't throw it away... He leaves it whole and you have to see it sometimes. Its inly then that you realize you can actually hurt worse. Because that which was attached and you loved you cant have back. Can only see from afar. And then the lawyer leaves this gaping hole in what used to be your life. And he doesn't sew it up- you're left to deal with the wound, the pain. You stitch it up as best you can but its still not enough. You can't repair it. So you do the best you can and hope it heals quickly. But it don't. You hurt and ache. Even though you know what was removed was for the best in the long run he was still part of your life for seven years. Good and bad he was at least there.
<br>I'm homesick. So bad. I had to go in there tonight for the first time in 7 days. He wasn't home yet. I've not seen him in nearly 21 days. I had to leave as things just wasn't getting any better. But there still not. I've cried all evening and all night.
<br>I've lived through this before. I tried to prepare myself for the days and nights like this but how do you prepare for this? I mean really? Why can't men just love? Love us like their supposed to? Not perfection but fairly?
<br>I said it wouldn't be a pretty post.
<br>Those will come. In the future. Spring will be here. A new start. A new place to live. New ground ripe and ready for flowers to be planted. They will grow. I will grow. Leaves will come on and so will I. But for today. It's hurts. Hard to remember the bad stuff but I have to try. I'm crying because I'm missing what I never really had in the first place. If that makes sense?
<br>I'm at mommas. Listening to the cat play with something, the hum of the fan, which feels so nice. We've had the flu and my lil guy still has it. He's usually a talker but hasn't said much in three days. I miss him. I want him to hurry and get better so I can tell him he talks to much! Lol! It's part of who he is and he's to sick to be himself. Poor guy.
<br>So I pull myself together one more time. Say my prayers and hope for a better tomorrow.
<br>Nite and God Bless!

My oldest son was gone to his girlfriends house and the dogs are not fond of posing for pictures. So this is me with my middle and youngest son. The hubs was snoozing so he missed out. Poor Hunter, I cut his head off just a bit. I used the self timer and my "real" camera this time...I usually take all pictures with my iPhone.

So I saw a picture on a blog and it was of a display in a store somewhere. I didn't think to write the blog addy down to go back to it, so I'm not able to credit the right place... but the front of the display was covered in this chevron pattern. But I looked closer because it was made of book paper. I looked even closer then because I'm a sucker for anything made with old book paper. It was made of folded papers! I thought to myself, "self, you can do that"! So off to the races I was! Trying this length first- 4 inches. I tried a couple things first that didn't work out and was about to get disgusted and just give up. But I wanted this, wanted it to turn out like I was hoping. So I kept going and got the hang of it.
I am not happy with the sizes of the images though. You will have to click on each one to read it as I tried a larger size and it was waaaay too big to fit between the margins of my page.
Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I'm trying to decide what to do with it ( as it is time consuming and making another one right now is definitely not an option!) so I want to take extra care NOT to mess it up. Scrapbook page or going on a canvas.?? Not sure, I may just look at it for awhile!
This is the finished project:

I used Authentique papers and stickers. I LOVE their paper, the weight and texture is so good!We got 9 inches of snow on Christmas night. We hardly ever get snow, and it's even more rare to have it on a Christmas! But this year we must have made up for all the year's we got nothing!It makes everyday objects seem magical. I love winter and everything about it. I'd like to see more snow, deeper ones too. Maybe I need to move to Alaska??
