Nopales Collage, Part 1

I love working these collages.  This time I chose a cactus to create the collage from.  This is just the first part of the process.  I'll publish part 2 next week.  More to come.

Introduction to Skillshare Collage Class

My first class on Skillshare was officially published 4 days ago but this is the introduction.  I'm hoping I can get lots of students by posting on social media.  We shall see if I can get a following.  This will take time, I'm sure.  Doesn't everything?

Idaho Farmhouse Paper Model House

This is one of the easier of the little paper house models.  I loved making it though and feel like it would make a great classroom project for little fingers to create.

Michigan Victorian Paper House Model

I loved this little house.  It was certainly complicated to put together but so fun and cute when it's done.  I think people will love it in my Etsy shop.

Make a little paper Missouri Farmhouse

These little houses, one for each of the 50 states will make a great craft book when I get them all done.  In the meantime I have several published for sale on my Etsy store page at Dancing Paintbrush Co.  This one is the making of the Missouri Farmhouse.

The Lute Player Collage, Page for Alphabet Book

It seems like it took forever.  I've been working on this Lute Player page for months.  It never seemed to be finished because I kept seeing things that I just didn't like or that looked like they could be improved.  The background needed something; her face wasn't shaped right; her hands bothered me; and on and on. Finally I think it is ready and here is the video to prove it.  Enjoy.

Charcoal Drawing Tutorial of a Young Boy

Each time I upload one of these tutorials I get excited, like teaching a baby how to walk.  I'm still new at this YouTube channel stuff but I'm learning more everyday.  This little guy is my latest upload and my latest drawing for my 100 days of drawing children's faces challenge.  I'm pretty happy with it.
