{Setting up on Sunday}

Just a few shots of Sunday morning setting up.

We had such a beautiful location for the Studio Tour.

Next stop

Les Femmes des Montage

{The Art of Punch}

Snapped this picture of our punch "bowl"at

the Studio Tour today

Truly a piece of art.

We had a great first day. The weather was warm yet

we were under the shade of the trees .

It made for a most delightful day.

{Thumb Butte Studio Tour ~ Prescott, AZ}

All pack and heading out for this weekend's Thumb Butte Studio Tour in Prescott

This is a city wide Artist Studio Tour.

I'll be at Elizabeth Khalife Studio with many of the Les Femmes artists.

Direction to our venue at 11 Northfield Lane in Yakashba Estates

from downtown Prescott

take Montezuma which becomes Whipple St., which then becomes Iron Springs Rd to Williamson Valley Rd. turn right onto Williamson Valley go .3 miles and turn right into Yakashba Estates. Go .2 miles and turn left onto Northfield lane. You will see us. :-)

I think about getting a smaller car but I just don't see anyway to make that work in my life.

Too many things going on.

{SP~Shadow Play}

Self PortraitsShadow Play this morning.
Just me, my camera, the Sun, and a bit of Photoshop
I had so much fun taking these sp. I will be doing this again.
I have a watering can and a large flower I want to add to the shadow play.
But for now this was a first try

{Hand Craved Stamps}

Just received these little beauties in the mail today. They are made by Alica Burke

I can't wait to try them out.

But I have to run to my day job now.

Back soon.

{Fingerless gloves}

Crocheted Fingerless Gloves made with hand spun yarn by Lollyarn on Etsy. They are

simple enough to crochet and with the hand spun yarn they are so fun to wear. Although with the temp still 80 degrees outside it will be a bit longer before they can be worn. Will have these for sale at the Thumb Butte Studio tour.

{Photoshop Elements Banner}

Creating new banners with Photoshop Elements 7. Using different color themes. Now that my blog is 9 months old I have collected enough photos of my art and life that I can create new and exciting banners. I just need to remember to change the size to 650x300 and uncheck the constrain proportions if I use this theme later

{Beauty of the New Day}

Beauty

Have you seen this ... Thanks Misty

{How to Learn Photoshop Elements 7}

More leaning Photoshop Elements 7

Tried using this image as the Header image on my original blog my starseasons which has now become my test site. I may try this layout here. But first I want to add different pics.

It's helpful for digital site to offer free stuff to try out. Then someday you will feel like you can purchase other items and be able to use them. But not today. Its time to go outside and play. Although I may try one more thing before I forget it.

A little more resizing ~Ok now I'm really done.

{Art Journals completed}

Two mixed media Art Journals are complete. They will be available at the Thumb Butte Studio Tour. Coming up the end of September

The covers are the original paintings.

So each journal is a one of a kind.

The pages are only partially embellished
leaving lots of space for your personal entries
