"Sweet Saturdays" Week # 005

Hi Everyone and welcome to week 5 of "Sweet Saturdays"

What is "Sweet Saturdays" all about.....

Sweet Saturdays is all about sharing things with eachother....you can publish something sweet on your blog every Saturday and share it with us here....a photo, a recipe, an art piece an illustration or a story ...anything that is sweet.....and add your link here every Saturday.....

This will help remind us that life is sweet and little things can make a big difference....

This week I thought I would share with you a new wood and pyrography piece that is titled "The greatest gift is Family" I created it using a wood canvas and burned all the details into it and then added some touches of liquid acrylics....I thought it would be sweet for this week's post....

I also ordered my first set of mini moos....from www.moo.com
and the quality of their product blew me away!!! I have to say this is the best quality cards I have ever purchased.....I also love that you can use several designs....I used 100 of my art pieces to create my cards....and thank heavens I ordered 400 because they are that cute and I am having a hard time giving them away...lol....

The stock they use is superior...and the colours are amazing....Thank you MOO!!! I will be ordering from them again....

I also thought I would share a link to a commission I worked on for the Royal Wedding.....you can have a look at that post here....

What a sweet week....and I wish you all a very Sweet Saturday!!!

So show us your sweet stuff....and also help spread the word.....

Sharing my fun little process ..... try it out!

Today I thought it would be fun to share a little process I go through once a week. It is a really fun way to just create with no idea of the final outcome.....Each piece is a little piece of a puzzle I put together as I get inspired..... and throughout the week I create pieces as an on-going little mini challenge.....so today I worked on this piece......and now for my process......

Materials
1 big sketchbook
1 pencil or ink pen
Imagination
Relaxing place
Latte

Directions.....sit in a comfortable place with your handy sketchbook, draw anything and everything....you can pick a theme ....like today for example I was inspired by blooms and mother nature.....keep drawing away till you fill up your page. Each piece can be anything ....any shape and you can create multiple styles of something. For example today I created several petal like pieces....all to be used this week to create new fun florals......So below is my page all doodled up......

I then take these pieces and create bigger things with the pieces....a little creative process I thought I would share with you all today....

Throughout the week use these mini sketches in a collection to create new pieces of art....you can even use this as a warm up for your Studio Time.....it is fun and addicting......So try it out ....I challenge you to try this fun process and come back here and share it with us....
