Artist Block Thingy

aka #CACTrashToTreasure #ArtistBlock thingy Video that went live today. . . so I can’t stand waiting for y’all to ask about the “Story” of this Artist Block . . . SO I’m just gonna tell y’all

Once upon a time there was a princess my Great Aunt Penny, she loved driving around in her big fancy car. She would just cruise by day, by night, by herself or with friends. Driving was just plain fun. One day when Great Aunt Penny was driving the weather turned, it turned bad, really real bad, so she slowed down. A feat that was not exactly easy for her Lead Footed self. But slow down she did and as it turned out it was a darn good (if not better’est) thing. . .

There she was, a young single lady in a terrible storm on a lonely dirt road out in the middle of the woods (can y’all hear the creepy music?) when all of a sudden, quick as lightening, something went dashing out in front of her car . . . bam she slammed on the breaks real fast, as fast as lightening even. And the car spun around and bomped into a tree. Well it least it didn’t plow into the tree, it was just a gentle little bomp. Great Aunt Penny was a little shook up and when she regained herself, she looked around trying to see if she could spot what that thing was that ran in front of her car. . .

And there it was, sopping wet and shivering under a nearby bush. Great Aunt Penny opened her car door and the little thing came a running. . . straight into her lap!

Yep, it was a little white doggie with black spots. Well Great Aunt Penny went to laughing and the dog went to licking her face and she laughed all the harder and proclaimed, "You're so lucky I didn't run over you and I'm so lucky that I didn't spin right down that deep gully."

And there y’all have it, the “Story” about Great Aunt Penny and her dog Lucky . . . oh and her Daddy owned a copper mine (sorta like a Button Mine) . . . Lucky Penny, copper it all works out for the best, don’t ya think?

Happy Art’ing Y’all

There's Gonna be

A 12 x 12 Gala at the Art Gallery in the Madeley Building, Conroe Texas. What’s it all about you may ask. . . the Conroe Art League, of which I’m a member, is having a fund raiser. The league purchased 12 x 12 Claybords and members signed them out to do art on. I finished mine and asked if I could do another and yes was the answer so I actually did two. Yes I’ll show y’all, not now but soon. They are done but still need to be varnished after a good few days drying time.

Ok so you can see one of them on my YouTube Channel. #ThinkPinkArt a Creative Arts Collaboration Event

The Exhibit will start November 4^th, a few of the 12 x 12’s will be selected for the Live Auction that will take place on November 21th at the Gala. The remaining pieces will be in the silent auction OR if someone wants there will be a Buy It Now, price.

Won’t be able to make for the Gala, no problem . . . Here is more good news Conroe Art League is now set up for Pay Pal and it’s looking as though online sales will be do’able. More on this as I get the information. 

Thanks for your time and

Happy Art’ing Y’all

Carp! I, umm

forgot to post about the #pawgustart Creative Arts Collaboration event. It happened on the 20th to the 23rd. .  . BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS you can search YouTube for the hashtag and find lots of fun Arts and Crafts videos that are sure to inspire you.

I made some cute ClipArt, that's what we call Paper Clips with embellishments. I also did a Matchbook cover, it's sorta a card so they can be mailed. Of course I'm pretty sure the postage will bee a bit more, but so it goes.

And yes I did make many sets, they are not all doggie'age. You can find my Video Here

Happy Art'ing Y'all
