Colored Pencil Alice in Wonderland

I just had to post these beautiful pictures someone on flickr.com posted of my favorite fictional character.

These are done with colored pencils. It looks like watercolor to me almost.

My kids have a new set of 50 colored pencils. I just might have to attempt to finish that Gibson Park flower garden picture with them.

I have been busy working with tons of photos from the 4th of July parade here in Great Falls and a post is coming soon from it.

Also, the family just got back from a Happel family event in Bozeman, MT. My husband's cousin got married in California a couple of weeks ago and wedding reception was held in Montana so all the relatives could make a trip to get together. We all had a lovely time.

A lot of activity for this family in the past few days. I need a mid-week weekend!

I just love this photograph. The colors -- inspiration! I am ready to grab one of these pencils and get to work creating something. Let my imagination run wild -- only wish I could put on paper what is in my brain from what I see and like. Tame me down now.

On the other hand I picked up wonderful books today on my travel to Goodwill -- Paper Piecing the Seasons by Liz Schwartz & Stephen Seifert, Spirit of the Northwoods by Debbie Field (12 unique applique' blocks for spectacular wildlife wallhangings or a magnificent quilt), Schoolhouse Wallhanging by Eleanor Burns, and Fast, Fun Cards by Emma Hardy.

These will keep me going for some time!






Also, today I finished a quilt block as shown here that I will be sending to the Esme Kenney Memorial Quilt, c/o St Theresa Textile Trove, 5846 Hamilton Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45224. Quilt blocks are accepted through May 31st. To find out more about Esme Kenney just do a Google search. A sad story for a beautiful young lady.







Keep creating and let Art Attack you!
