Welcome

Hello to all.

I hope you enjoy visiting this blog.

I want to make it a place for people to enjoy my art and the process I go through in learning new things as well as sharing

some of the things I already know.

Take care be well and relish everything!

More fun stuff



Some original drawings.  The ladies will be cards for friends as the middle one is an experiment I'm still working on.
I have added color to the ladies and will add those pictures later.  I love this stuff.
LouiseB,

Fun new designs



Here are three new designs I've worked on this weekend.
I'm pretty please how the have turned out.  It's raining today so it was a good day to stay inside and create.  Like I need as excuse ha.

One day in July


 This is something fun and differnt.  Not sure what I'll call her yet.  The weather has been so nice its very hard to stay inside and create.
Instead I've been busy creating in the garden instead.
I have made some small strides in getting my jewelry and drawings into a couple of shops.  Not sure where that will take me but I'm excited about the possibilities.

First inhouse Art show June 25th 2011

Well I did it.  I sent out the invites and had several friends come by to view my art and jewelry.
What fun it was to see folks in my home and listen to them as they enjoyed looking at the things I have created.
I hope this can be an annual event.
Then my husband turned me on to a new Art Studio in SE Portland called The Violet Flame Art Studio.
The owner and artist Suzanne Stewart met me on Monday at the studio for a visit and also to view my work.  What a nice lady and talented artist.  She does a lot of different things.  Glass beads, painting are just some of the things she does.  Suzanne is very excited about her shop and has a lot of plans.
I loved her energy and excitement.
 So much fun in one day as I also ran by the Friends of the Library's pop up store on 801 NW 23rd.  I didn't have enough time to do much looking around but next time will plan on spending more time there.
My last day of vacation is tomorrow what will the day bring.  Oh if only I didn't have to go back to work.  Well we can dream can't we.

Wild women Totes

For the lover of shoes this one fits the bill.

This one is for the lover of fine wine,good food and time with friends.
This one is for a good friend of mine.

This one will end up on a tote for the gardener.
I have changed up the colors a bit as the blue struck me as too dark.
I can't believe how many of my friends enjoy these totes.  Of course each one has a different theme to go with the hobbies or things people enjoy doing. LouiseB

If you can't find it at the store make it yourself


 My polymer clay red high heel shoe.
I search a couple of stores and could only find one small high heel shoe patch.  No buttons nothing for embellishing my fun totes; nothing.
I think it turned out pretty well for my first try.  LouiseB.

More Cards

 This suns background is the cutout of the original paper.  With a red background it adds depth.
This card is like looking through a window shaped like a butterfly.


I never get tired of making cards.  Keep in mind they are not flat like normal cards.I love to make them dimensional......LouiseB.
