I played today by attending a workshop at the Washakie Museum in Worland. Gayle Barnett was the presenter for a class on watercolor painting! I had never met her until today, though I have bought some of her cards before. Formerly of Meeteetse, Wyoming, she now works in the big city of Recluse! This was…

For Now
Been working on this one a while. I’m not completely sure I’m finished, but… for now…
Nice Looking Men
I got sidetracked again… so still no video… Here are two of my favorite photos from the other day… My boys! Daniel. Brandon. I *still* can’t get over the grass! This morning I completed this… another sweetie! This is for a tshirt contest for the English Shepherd Club. They wanted art – although “art” is…
67 Million Years
Hey, there, Craig Johnson, author of Dry Bones, the newest installment in the Longmire mystery series… I have a bone to pick with you! The reason my garden is full of weeds, none of the outbuildings have been weeded around, the trim on my house isn’t painted, nor is a myriad of other jobs complete……
Felted iPhone Case
For my first wet felted bag I’ve made… I chose to do a sunflower decorated iPhone case for a friend’s birthday. With lots of needle felting after the wet felting… I like it.
A Wonderful, Beautiful Thing
It has been raining here… a wonderful, beautiful thing! When you live in such an arid climate, rain is a thing to be celebrated! Of course, there are plenty of people who are whining, plans ruined, more work, and I understand… but to listen to the earth drink in the raindrops, to hear plinks on…
Mountain Meadow Wool
I arrived home this evening, having to abandon Victoria and the boys to get some work done around here before I have to work Wednesday and Thursday. On my way through Buffalo… I didn’t stop at any antique stores or hardware stores but I did finally accomplish something I’ve been wanting to do for a…
Art Doodle
I taught an art doodle class at the library tonight. It’s a fun little hobby, easy to do, minimal supplies… We went over some designs… Practiced a little… Then we all copied a stencil of a cat… and look what happened! Each one is so different! This was SO FUN! Thanks, ladies, for coming!
Latest Creation
In a week, I’ll be teaching a couple classes on doodling. Yes, those little squiggles made during boring meetings, bursts of creativity, and relaxing moments. What good is doodling? What can you do with doodles? Well, here’s my latest creation.
Moonset Pastel
A few days ago, I posted this as a photo… This is my pastel version! Yes, the moon is so much bigger, but that’s the way the eyes see it, while the camera doesn’t capture it the same way. Oh, I’d give this a B- grade, but this is all learning… And these red…
Wool Scarf, Step Two
In the past, I’ve seen gorgeous “landscape” scarves on the internet. The scarves are wet felted from roving, then needle felted with details. Ever since I saw the first one… I’ve wanted to make one! Isn’t it perfectly delicious? Finally, I did. Part One of this journey begins HERE. I’ve laid out my roving until…
