The Baker family art event

This weekend my Baker cousins got together for an art part at the Visual Art center in Marshall, Texas. I talked my son into going and taking the lesson.
The goal was to reproduce a painting of our grandparent's home place. The instructors took the participants through step by step instructions on how to paint on the canvas with acrylic paints.
I took photos as the painting progressed. Here's what Shane did;

Hi Rhoda Jayne,
Left you a comment over at MTC board as well but wanted to tell you here what a fantastic job Shane and the rest of the family did on the paintings. I really love your pictures and the group photo of everyone holding their paintings is awesome! What a lovely way to share a family memory. Thanks again for sharing this. I would love to do something like this with my family.

recycled Lipton tea jars

I adapted the project so I could call on some of my digital graphic stash to make these candle holders. For my digital graphics I printed a paper of antique maps from  Miss Crow's Magickal Emporium™ , Jaguarwoman's "Wetlands" Backgrounds and my all time favorite designer Miki Ferkul .I have a lot of Miki's kits and I cannot remember which one that this print came from.

Christmas shadowbox

This is a photo was taken in 2004 & it was the last Christmas that my sister and I spent together. In spring 2005 she was diagnosed with Multiple myeloma. She passed away December 2005. I miss you Lydia! I've had this photo in my kitchen window since 2004 and I decided to make a shadow box with it. I scanned the photo onto a digital page and printed it. Then I added the star and jingle bells.
