Paint Party Giveaway

Time for a giveaway.

Here is a fabulous little book with watercolors by

Anita Ulrich. 

Not only is she a talented artist but also a wonderful 

teacher.

The motifs include some landscapes, blooms, people and a few

still life.

There are many examples of watercolor negative painting techniques

which all watercolorists can truly appreciate.  Included are some thought

provoking quotes too.  The book is in German but art is a universal

language and I know any watercolorist from anywhere in the world

would be inspired by her work.

If you love watercolor then you need to win this little book.

I also have a few German art magazines as a second giveaway.

If you would like to win either of these little surprises then just

leave me a comment by Midnight, Central European Time

 on Sunday 21 October.

 My studio assistant Lars will pick two winners.

Don´t forget, Lars will also throw in some German

chocolate to sweeten up your prize.

Cardmaking Fun

This past weekend was World Cardmaking Day. 

 In honor of all the hardworking cardmakers I decided I better try

to get organized.......

and considering these were a lot of my spring cards and it is now autumn,,,, 

but you know what they say...

A girl can never be too rich, too skinny or 

make too many cards.

So now that the season of next spring is already taken care of ....it is back

to autumn.

Oh, ,,, let us not forget the chaos and mess of making a ton

of  Christmas cards.  Fun awaits me with

Santa and snowflakes.

Have a great day!

Under the Covers

I know you know that feeling when in the middle of the night

something goes bump.....

I went to look. 

 whew....

what a relief!

It was just Lars.  He thinks he owns the joint.

I turned on the lights.

Something was fishy though.

I felt like he was trying to hide something from me and he looked 

really guilty.

I knew something was up so I thought I better have a look

under the covers.

SURE ENOUGH!!

Caught red handed. 

My bookcase is always a mess.

Now I know why.

I thought he´d atleast be reading about his true love Goldilocks

but instead he is reading up on watercolors.

Smart bear!!

If you love watercolors and painting as much as Lars does then 

stay tuned.

Lars is sponsoring an autumn giveaway of some art magazines and

an art book. You won´t want to miss it.

I am sharing this with Mandarin Orange Monday.

Lars just told me he wants to throw in some German chocolate too.

Watch for it this week.

Paint Party Cards

I have been busy having a fun watercolor paint party here with

some greeting cards I have been making. 

Drawing some lines,,,filling them in with watercolor and then writing

a wish. 

Some happy hearts for you.

Have a happy weekend!
