Spring and other things!

I feel a little guilty talking about spring with half of the country buried in snow.....hopefully, I will give encouragement.....it's coming, maybe not fast enough, but it is coming. 

In Oregon, today was sunny and 55 degrees, not bad for January.....so I headed to the nearest garden center and purchase my first blooms of the season.................

IMG_0131Made my day!

Yesterday, I took a wonderful collage class and produced this........

IMG_0125Not everyone appreciates abstracts but they are such a challenge and fun to do, learned a lot.  Great teacher. 

Another abstract with wax, paint, paper and string.......

IMG_0129Still trying to be "creative everyday"!  Enjoy, while I link to a party or two, Get Your Craft On and Creative Everyday

Spring is a distant memory here on the East Coast. We're expecting another storm tomorrow through Wednesday -- more snow and ice!!! Bah, Humbug! So nice to see primroses - I love them!!! Great pieces!!! Thanks so much for your blog visit and lovely comment, and good luck in my drawing! Hugs, Terri

Your artwork is so beautiful, great work. I also am enchanted with primroses, their colors are so intense. We're stuck with more snow here, too, but that's ok, it gives me time to get some other things done.

I am one who wishes spring would arrive. I'm so sorry I've not been around much this past week. I just let the electrician in and the bathroom painter will be back soon, too. Thanks for being so supportive even when I can't get to your blog.

I love abstract collage. So I think these are awesome. That one with wax really shines.

Your art work is amazing. You are so good at what you do.

I tried on the Funky Junk deal but, like you, all the rust bothers me a little. I liked my rusty chain in a jar but...the olden rusty sign went back under the bed. :)))
