Roses

I had some time to make some bookmarks. 

Roses are one of my favorite flowers.

 A Pink, Green and Gray color combination.

I used Art Journey stamps with watercolor and finished them off with pen and ink.

A few more detail shots.

If you would like one of these rose bookmarks,,,,leave me a comment

and  my assistant will pick a name next week and send one to you.

I am sharing this with the Art Journey Design Team.

Paint Party Giveaway

Time for a giveaway.

Here is a fabulous little book with watercolors by

Anita Ulrich. 

Not only is she a talented artist but also a wonderful 

teacher.

The motifs include some landscapes, blooms, people and a few

still life.

There are many examples of watercolor negative painting techniques

which all watercolorists can truly appreciate.  Included are some thought

provoking quotes too.  The book is in German but art is a universal

language and I know any watercolorist from anywhere in the world

would be inspired by her work.

If you love watercolor then you need to win this little book.

I also have a few German art magazines as a second giveaway.

If you would like to win either of these little surprises then just

leave me a comment by Midnight, Central European Time

 on Sunday 21 October.

 My studio assistant Lars will pick two winners.

Don´t forget, Lars will also throw in some German

chocolate to sweeten up your prize.

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday.

Before you leave, scroll down or click here to say hello to Lars.....

he doesn´t bite.

Peary Nice

I think there is nothing nicer than a juicy pear as a motif for a greeting card....don´t you?

I´d like to mail this card to one of you ....if you fancy receiving this card just leave a 

comment before Sunday, 24 June and use the words,,,I want it, it´s mine:)

I am sharing this with The Three Muses.

Who Won II

A quick note to announce who won a few magazines and some

authentic German chocolate.  Stay tuned, as I will do this again

in the near future.  I have a lot of magazines to pass onto you.

I wish I could send all of you some tasty chocolate but I had to
limit it to three people at a time.  I´d appreciate it if you three
would please email me your postal addresses by Sunday 13 May
and let me know if you prefer Milk, Dark or White chocolate.

In the meantime, go visit these winner´s blogs for your artfix for today.

German Magazines

 Covers of some of my favorite magazines.

 Interesting articles and fun things to cut out for collage work.

 Does this make your sweet tooth hurt?  You know German

chocolates are some of the best in the world.

Would you like a few copies of some of these magazines?

Even if you don´t read German...the photography is stunning

and it would make a good conversation piece when your friends

pick it up from the coffee table and realize ,,,hey, what is this?

If you would like a few copies and a tid-bit of some German chocolate,,

leave a comment and I will pick a name on Sunday, 6 May.

Tell your friends, blog about it.....who doesn´t want German chocolate:)

A Few More

I have a few more things to show you from this past year.

This is a giveaway which I received from the generous Jean

over at Bluebird Paperie.

I was overwhelmed with Jean´s generosity.

On the top was a beautifully made card with

blue butterflies. Feast your eyes on all of this!

Then I started digging deeper into the box.

An accordian book kit,vintage papers, tags,

flowers, twine and an old map.

It just kept coming. It was an early Christmas.


Assorted stamps and ornamental chipboard letters.

Wasn´t this just a fabulous giveaway!

Jean really packed this box full of fun things.

Now you know why I need more storage space in

my studio. I want to hoard all of this!

Thanks so much Jean!
