Art store adventure

I finished the other hand I had traced over the holidays. Then off I went to the art store with my daughter. We meandered around looking at various things. I got a couple packages of tortillions, some more Micron pens, three Prismacolor Premiere colored pencils (powder blue, lilac and black grape). Strathmore now carries a line of artist tiles in 4x4 and 6x6 of different types. I picked up a package of 20 Bristol ( vellum surface) 300 Series 4x4 tiles. They were out of the black ones. I decided to look for washi tape, tracing paper and elmer's glue someplace else. We checked out and my daughter couldn't find her keys. I asked her did she lock them in the car. They were in the car, in the ignition with the car running; thank goodness the doors were unlocked and the car was still there. We were in the art store at least 20 minutes, I guess no one needed a vehicle right at that moment. We went on to the grocery store and Wal-Greens. I found my elmer's glue and of all things washi tape there, no tracing paper though (that will be an adventure for another day).

I have decided to devote my weekend mornings to looking at what others have posted on the challenges I follow. At that time I will also post any comments. I think Sunday will be my Diva peek day as so many people post on that challenge. This, of course, is subject to change.

After looking at the Jennibellie thing the other day I decided to make a background on a canvas for a project I have in mind.

#whimsybykelly2015 Day 9

I completed my tile for Tackle It Tuesday. I'm glad that challenge is back, I missed it the last few weeks.

I recently watched a YouTube video of Jennibelle's favorite art technique of 2014, you can see it here:

I just read Kelly's prompt for today and decided to post a hand I finished tangling today.

I finished my ZIA for the Pattern Mixer challenge. It kind of got away from me in working with it but I am pleased with the result. I will probably do at least one more for the challenge. It may be that this particular challenge may see me making 2-4 pieces each month, we'll see as the year progresses.
