My mom makes origami boxes for a few locally (#buylocal!) owned businesses in Birmingham. Our family has a few boxes each because she always included a small gift, like jewelry, inside a box for birthday gifts. I have my boxes displayed on my shelves. Yesterday my son needed an envelope, I wished him luck getting…

the logo you make up
sometimes I have to draw something completely new & then, maybe, edit in the computer. This logo is for a Recorder/flute player, the art model has tattooed musical notes all over him & he is holding the mouth piece of a recorder. It was fun to draw, we are coming up with the final design…
Amazon is shipping me 400 eggs that turn into this…
Huge gross factor. But the Praying Mantas is a carnivore & will feast upon the herbivores that are dinning on my basil, cilantro, banana peppers & my tomatoes…I drew this one, so that I remember that they are not aliens that have landed in my gardens. Good to draw something everyday…eewwww. I also ordered 1,500 ladybugs…
DIY sculpture of a horse
A few summers ago, I bought all three of my children these wooden puzzles at Michaels. It was summer vacation & i thought it would be fun for them. It didn’t take more than thirty minutes for them to finish. This horse has been sitting in my daughter’s bedroom ever since. I asked her if…

art can be found right in front of you

art class creations
We worked on mosaics today, using paper squares. They tore up a race car like a puzzle & rebuilt in on top of the mosaic. The bottom three was a project about texture. The kids used a pallet knife to paint & then added bits of paper. They also pressed different textures into the wet…
inside National Veteran’s Shrine
Difficult to get the colors correct because of multiple light sources. The entryway into this building is a shocker.
I’m with her…
This Monument is in Montevallo, Alabama. Lady Liberty is on the property of the American Village. I belong to Camellia Garden Club. This past Monday, we met & had lunch & a short tour though the National Veterans Shrine. It is a building patterned after Philadelphia’s Carpenters Hall. The building honors all American Veterans of…
happiness, delivered to Sunday Brunch
A Sunday brunch for 40 people. Piece of cake to include small vases of flowers among the food. Nothing to move out of the way. Almost every vase contained a quote about life. Just a touch of bringing in the garden among the beautiful food.
