Wood Blocks

I had made my granddaughter sets of dog and cat blocks with the words and photos of their pets. My daughter wanted me to make a set of Lauren blocks too.

I purchased 2 x 2 blocks and covered them with G45 Precious Memories. I spelled out her name and then added various photos of her from her first year.

I apologize in advance for the freaky photos but I am abiding by my daughter's wishes to not show the baby's face on line.

She has played with the dog and cat blocks for months getting excited when she sees the photos so I am hoping these will be also be fun for her to play with as well.

I am adding this to CraftersCastle Challenge #4. It is an anything goes dimensional challenge. 

Thank you for visiting and for your kind words. I truly appreciate them!

PaintPartyFriday

If you want to see some amazing artwork, you should check out PaintPartyFriday! I love seeing what everyone is working on! So many talented artists!

I am getting ready for a show/sale with the local art group in May. I have kind of veered away from my mixed media canvases and started playing with watercolor cards. Cards are usually good sellers. Here are a few I have done.

I am still learning! I have to make myself walk away after I get a layer painted or else I tend to play with it and mess it up. I also have to wait to add the pen because otherwise it bleeds. I hope I can continue to improve as I make more of these.

Thank you PaintPartyFriday for the weekly inspiration!
