MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Awol for today

 


So sorry that you won't be getting one of my regular mumblings today.  I'm off teaching a workshop on making landscapes.

Wonder how many of my students will be left feeling like this...


Oh, and because it's that day...


- THESE guys made me laugh.

- I like THIS!

- And THIS made me laugh too.

Today's quote is from Les Brown..."Never say you're having a bad day...say you're having a character building day"

(hah, that quote is definitely applicable 
to me today!)

      Thank you - it did. At least I didn't hear any complaints anyway.

      They seemed happy so hopefully they can finish their projects off at home without too much trouble.

    How exciting to teach others all the ins and outs of your landscape. You and your students will have the best fun.

      It was a bit nerve-wracking to teach this for the first time and I think I learned just about as much as the ladies did.

      I enjoyed it and I hope they did too. Will be fun to see them show off their finished projects hopefully at the next guild meeting.

      I think the ladies were happy , at least I hope they were. And when I posted the link to the hanger I was thinking you might be intrigued.

    I have a feeling you will plant lots of seeds of inspiration in your class.

    This wagon wheel landscape is going to be a good one. Like the pebble texture already. Wondering if you used crayons for wheel highlights?
    I'm reading you quote Wed night in our Ladies Discussion group at church. Exactly what we've been talking about.

      I often use pencil crayons on my landscapes but not wax crayons...might have to give them a try sometime.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
