Card Workshop and New Workshop in the Works


So the card workshop went great! Thank you to all who helped with the organization, and to those who came to cut paper with me. I had such a good time, and hope you all did, too!
Unfortunately, I did not get pictures of the finished cards, as we were too busy playing to remember..... but let me assure you that even those who thought they could never make a card left satisfied!
On to the new workshop. This one is going to be a layout workshop, where we will make a layout based on this one here. The finished page can then be added to an album, or framed and hung on a wall. We will be learning a new technique to make flowers, and alter bought flowers, among other things.


I hope you will join me! I will announce the date and further details as they are finalized. Thanks for looking,
Shalvi

It's Been a While......

since I have been able to post any new pictures here.
I have been working on a collection of paintings that will go into a shop here, along with pricing and a catalogue of examples of my work.
Unfortunately that means there is nothing really interesting to share..... But, tomorrow is the card class, and I will hopefully be able to show all the cards we make here. (For anyone interested there is still room to join the class.)
Bye for now,
Shalvi

Nili's Eyes


Nili's eyes were the brightest blue!
How is that for an all blue girls layout!

Eliya and Ella Layout


My friend and I had our girls about 2 weeks apart. This is them, a couple of weeks old, and loving every minute of it, apparently!
Sorry for the poor photo, it is grey and dim out today... Soon the rain should start.....

Daddy and Baby

This is Leon with Eliyah. I made some pom-pom flowers and used a printed transparency, along with scraps from my scrap drawer.

A Quick Layout

Here is yet another super fast page, made using papers from October Afternoon, some transparencies, ribbon, button, and new paper edger.
These pictures are from when Eliyah was born.... now she is almost 6!
Thanks for looking,

These are some signs that I made. They are about 8x12 inches, on canvas board. I used acrylic layers, watercolor layers, and paper cutouts to create these mixed media pieces.

The Hebrew on the first two pieces, which depict a Jerusalem scene, says Mizrach, which means East. The blue, green and purple ones say Shalom, Peace, or Welcome. The orange one says Welcome.

The Mizrach ones have sold already, but if you are interested in any of the others, please contact me for details...
Thanks for looking!
