Moon Paint Finished!

I finished the moon....had to deliver it before it completely got away from me. 

Puppet Homework: Painting the Moon

Since I'm down with a bad cold, puppet homework is being dropped off at our house. (Don't want to give these cooties to the whole puppet crew.) I put a coat of paint on the moon today.

Getting Past the White of the Paper

Puppet work has resumed! 

 

And back at home, I'm pushing past the whiteness of the paper. As Jack suggests.

 

Puppet Push is ON!

We're working to get puppets ready for a local Memorial Day parade so I ended up with more puppet homework...a bag of heads.

 And I managed to get them done! 

 

Puppets and Cards

Puppet work has resumed! These will be making their debut at the Memorial Day Parade in Perrysburg, Ohio before returning to Point Place for our parade.

And I was attempting to clear my work table but got distracted making cards from some good scraps. I'm hoping Beeker's General Store needs a few more. 

Boxes

I started another Fodder Challenge, the wabi-sabi boxes by Roxanne Evans Stout. For this one I delved into my supply of grungy,  earthy neutrals and I made some boxes.

 

Then, I made some more boxes...

And then I made one more box...

Oh, and I also painted this Killer Tomato at our last puppet making session.

Fodder Challenge 2025

I signed up for the Fodder Challenge and then decided to go ahead with Fodder School 5. I've just done the first challenge with Cheiron Brandon. It's nothing earth shattering but I'm enjoying it so much...worth every penny. I feel so much better when I'm creating!

I didn't buy the alcohol inks and worked with watercolor instead.

I could hardly wait to cut into them and make a few dimensional cards.

 

 

I've also been hanging with the puppet crew in Point Place on Wednesday nights. I'm painting man eating flowers and converting last summer's colorful fish into fish bones. 

 

 

It's Been A While

I haven't posted in too long but I did work on stuff. I completed The 100 Day Project 2025...100 plus Faux Postage Stamps. (I made a few in pairs thinking about making them into earrings.)

And I have been working with my puppet friends, creating puppets for our local parade. I was painting fish! 

 

 

Now, I really need to get back into my Fodder School stuff. 

Halloween Puppet Parade!

 I completely forget to post photos of the finished puppets! We had a parade!

They are incredible! I was so lucky to have had the opportunity to work on these amazing creations. Mary Gaynier is a creative genius!

And I almost forgot...my 2024 Jack-o-lantern! I had to put a battery operated lantern inside to light it as it was crazy windy on Halloween.
