She doesn’t look like much here but she’s on her way to blossoming. That’s one thing I find so miraculous about creating. You can start with a clean slate, make a total mess and transform it into a thing of beauty. Just wait and watch and I’ll share the process with you… It amazes me each time when God shows me ways to transform a blank canvas into a thing of amazing bursts of color and texture.
I’m also working on some “tiny tags” or “mini markers.” I had some printer problems the other day and was fighting for two days with my printer … I was to the point were I thought we might have to part ways but thanks to an incredibly talented techy husband he worked his magic and all is good… Once he got my beloved printer up online again I started printing things like crazy… these are just a very small sample of what I’m working on behind the scenes.
This is a 9×12″ original painting mounted on a 10×13″ heavy 3/4″ painted wood backboard with a a picture hanger. To get a better close up picture you can see it at Etsy … here. I always get overly stressed when someone orders a painting. I want desperately to meet their needs and they give me free creative license which makes it both easier and harder at the same time. I ask questions about colors, interests, dreams, goals, etc. I just try to get to know a little about the subject of my paintings.
What are your desires, dreams, hopes, beliefs? I’d be honored to express them via my creative energy for you to enjoy on your wall. It’s a tribute to you! What a wonderful gift to give yourself or have a loved one give to you. I’d love to encourage you to follow suit. I do ALL sizes and price ranges of original art for clients and I would be honored to put your story onto a painted surface for you and your family.
I’m working on a second commission which I’ll reveal to you tomorrow. =) Come back soon!
♥ Psalm 8 ♥
We’re now all the way up to week eight on our Psalms. ☺ We’ve got quite a long way to go. Good thing we have lots of time!
Earlier this week my mom gave me a zucchini to make bread with as it was a bit larger than we like for sauteeing and stir frying. Instead of baking bread I decided yesterday to make zucchini fitters with it. Here’s my process in pictures.
First I grated the zucchini and ended up with a little over 2 cups worth.
Next I used my baby food processor and crushed half a stack of Ritz crackers which made approximately a cup.
Gotta have some cheese! I shredded about a cups worth. I don’t measure when I cook. I cook by site and taste. I added all these ingredients in a bowl along with 2 eggs and salt, pepper, fresh chopped parsley, onion powder and garlic powder. Then I used a pad a butter along with a drizzle of olive oil in a hot pan and let them cook till the eggs were set … then flipped them over and continued cooking. I put the finished fritters on some nonstick foil and popped them in the oven on warm to keep them toasty for when the fish was cooked.
They were melt in your mouth delicious and we ate the ALL! We had them with some yummy healthy fish cooked in olive oil.
It was a fantastic meal and nice and light. I’ll see you back tomorrow for more fun with creating. God Bless You!
