Handbeaded "Pathways" Bracelets For Sale...


As of now I have completed five "Pathways" beaded bracelets. 
They are for sale for $55.00 each! 
They would make a lovely Christmas gift for some special lady in your life. 
There is a choice of different colorways.
The center bracelet is made with TILA beads instead of the super-duo beads.
The feel and the drape upon one's wrist with these beaded bracelets is fabulous!

A Healing Thought to Live By...


Deb Wolf, on her blog..."Counting My Blessings ~ at the intersection of faith and life",
shared this thought that touched my heart today...

“Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control
 of all the details of my life, 
 the quiet confidence that ultimately 
everything is going to be alright, 
 and the determined choice to 
praise God in every situation.” ~Kay Warren

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.
 Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—
not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love . . . 
nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.      Romans 8:37–39

Strathmore/Steve Mitchell Watercolor Painting Tutorial

What delight I have in finding the many watercolor painting tutorials available online. Strathmore recently offered some "classes" by current artists that are such a great help for me in learning the many wonderful facets of watercolor painting. Be sure to check out Strathmore's website and that of Steve Mitchell's! Here's what I recently learned and created following Steve's instruction for painting a botanical rose... (Mine is a peony picked fresh from my garden!)

What fun to complete this hand-beaded cuff this past month!  It has such a lovely drape yet holds it's form so well.  A pleasure to have it adorn my wrist!  
Pattern and beads come from Beadshop.com.

Time For Learning Watercolor Techniques....




From October 2014 'til now my life has been ever so busy with many other activities(such as enjoying my sweet 3 year old grandson as much as possible) ~ alas my blog has been VERY quiet!  I'm still here...alive and well!

My quiet time has found me using a few spare moments to learn the basic techniques of watercolor painting!  Soon I will share from my stash of practice pages.  Love the experimentation & being able to use it in my mixed media projects!!  

The following are little snippets of birds from Dina Wakley's "Scribbly Birds" ~ stamped images with Tim Holtz's Distress Ink on 140# coldpress paper and then I watercolored the images.  SO FUN!!!  One can color each bird in any way one's heart desires ~ realistic or not!

YouTube has so many talented watercolor artists that willingly share video tutorials for watercolor painting techniques.  As if you have your very own personal instructor!  AMAZING!!!

With today being a celebration of my birth 63 years ago, I am SO VERY EXCITED to have this opportunity to apply many things I have artistically learned over my lifetime to this recent endeavor!  Truly one is never too old to learn!  OH YAY!!!
Sweet blessings to each who read my infrequent & quirky posts....Joyfully, ~Sandie
