I have been working on a few small pieces of art this summer along with the Summer of Color challenge that I am participating in.
These two photos are of a watercolor card that I painted. I wanted to play around with my Twinkling H2O's after doing so much textile art. I decided to paint this little whimsy girl on a thank you card. The whole card shimmers in the light. I love these watercolor paints for the beautiful rich colors and the shimmer and sparkle from the minerals.

I drew this fairy on watercolor paper a while ago and decided that I finally needed to paint her. She is also painted with the Twinkling H2O's. It is good to play with supplies and gain more knowledge about how they work. I also enjoy painting just for fun with no other purpose in mind.
I read about how Susan Brubaker Knapp took a denim jacket and stitched it with a sewing theme. You can read about her's here. I found a denim jacket at a resale shop here in town and decided to do the same thing. I have been working on this for a week, so I don't have very much done yet. This project is perfect for those times when I have to sit and wait for one thing or another or while watching tv and movies with my family. So far I am enjoying covering areas with these simple hand stitches. This project will keep me busy for a long time to come.
I hope that you enjoyed these glimpses of what I'm up to. Have a great week,
Janelle
