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.

Doggie mat

I wanted to make a doggie mat for my CKC spaniel & I came up with this. I've been a fan of the Mod Podge Rocks blog for some time.

recycled Lipton tea jars

There is a saying in the south that if the Good Lord made anything better than iced tea, he kept it for himself. We drink a lot of tea around here. My husband and son love sweet tea & I drink it unsweetened. My husband and son also love MickeyD sweet tea for a buck! This summer I had a collection of empty tea jars so I wanted to see what I could do with them. I was inspired by a Plaid video showcasing Mod Podge and glass 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. I printed these and applied them to the jars with Mod Podge. I opted for battery operated candles for safety reasons. Hopefully tomorrow I can take photos of
