We didn’t have time for a Woogie Wednesday yesterday, so I worked up an invitation to invite the Woog to a “Spa-rt” (spa+art – I love making up new words) party tonight. Check out the WW blog tomorrow for everything that went down. It’s gonna be CRAZY!
This week, the hero of the week in the Woog's class is
Vincent van Gogh, so we did a little
Woogie Wednesday project to learn more about him. Starry Night is my favorite piece of his (and the Woog's too!) so we took the project outside and used sidewalk chalk to recreate the work on the deck.
In progress:
Complete:
I remember when I was in 5th grade, we did a starry night project using oil pastels and I thought it was so fun. I remember meticulously making my swirls and dashed lines.
Ironically, I was going through the pictures on my iphone the other day and found several I took while at the Met last summer. These were pretty awesome to see:
Starry Night is on display at MoMA so maybe next time I'm up that way I'll get a peek of it if it's still there.
It's 19 degrees and snowing in Nashville so The Woog and I made ice ornaments. You can check them out
here.
This is a picture of the outside of my studio this morning. I wish the snowfall lasted longer but it should stick around on the ground for the next day or so. I will be posting about my Surtex planning soon. I promise. I'm trying to get all my thoughts and references together to post. I'm still feeling overwhelmed with it all and really need to buckle down and crank some new work out to show. But that will happen another day. Today is a full day of
Woogie Wednesday with a major painting and decorating going on. Check the
site later today to see what we've been up to.
We finished up our Christmas card last weekend and I got them all mailed out. I think this is the earliest I've sent them which feels good to have them off my plate. Walker provided her recipe for Marshmallow Lasagna and included a treat with it. Here's the text from the card:
WARNING: If you are expecting a handmade gift from the Woog this year, do not click the link below!And yesterday we had a good day of Woogie Wednesday projects. The Woog made some gift tags and then the gifts which turned out great! You can check out
everything here.
This may be my last post before the new year, but I might pop in at some point. I have a list of work still due, a couple of gifts to make and this huge one to tackle:
There are about a million shingles to stain! It will take me forever, but the look on her face will be priceless!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
We're all getting ready for our first family vacation next week and the above is from today's
Woogie Wednesday. Go check it out!
Also, today was the launch of
Pumpkin Junkin' 2008. I haven't received any entries yet so start sending them in! I still need to make mine. I started when the Woog did
her's but I just couldn't get into it. Maybe when we get back.
I love when you just stick stuff on a scanner, do a little in photoshop and it becomes something cool. This is from today's
Woogie Wednesday. These will appear in an assignment I'm working on and also future pattern designs for licensing. A few weeks back I designed some stamps specifically for my junk a doodles work so this is really the first time I've had a chance to use them.
We're currently working on our Woogie Wednesday project
over here, but thought I'd share this. The Woog had problems hanging her pictures on the wall today ("They won't stick!" which is pretty much the reason she is using painter's tape. Otherwise I'd be peeling off masking tape from the wall along with nice chunks of paint) so she decided to make a small gallery on the floor. The is a portrait of a non-existent cousin (I forgot the name she gave her). I think it's her best portrait yet and it's the first time I've noticed eyebrows on her drawings. Too bad this is on newsprint and not an archival paper :(
Our Woogie Wednesday that turned into a Woogie Weekend (yes, it is Friday but we try to have 3 day weekends every weekend) is finally
done!
here are some more gouache pieces I've worked on. I'm pleased with the little boy but I think the beaver is a little dark. For him I also used a new graphite paper to trace my drawing and the line came out too thick and waxy. Overall I'm really loving gouache ut am unsure if I'll add it to my illustration medium yet. Maybe it could be my picture book style since picture books tend to use more traditional mediums. Who knows...
I hope (HOPE!) to get back on track with
Woogie Wednesdays today. It seems like we've always been busy or out the past several ones. I think today's theme will be space so we'll see what we come up with. Check
here later today for it.
Today's woogie wednesday can be found
here.
It's Wednesday again and time for
Woogie Wednesday. I think Wednesdays might be changing around here. We started a project this morning but she was done done about 15 minutes into it, which had kind of happened on and off this year. I'm thinking I should change the structure of WW and just do other creative things besides making art. So, here's one thing we did today:
We FINALLY (sorry to the ones on the list!) got around to putting on our traveling tail and taking a picture. Traveling Tales is the brainchild of Stacy at
Mama's Doodles. Here's the
flickr group with instructions. She's currently on maternity leave but go ahead and bookmark her shop
here and in the future you can get a tail all your own.
It's Wednesday again and time for
Woogie Wednesday.
It snowed today, so we went out this morning and playing the the snow as our "project" for today.
It's Wednesday again and time for
Woogie Wednesday.
This time we picked out her stuff and I have to say, it's pretty weird! Not real sure what else to say about it. No harm was done to the Maria Osmond doll while making this piece:)
I did my part from
yesterday's Woogie Wednesday today. I took her big head and made it into a big headed monkey. I've been doing some
different illustration work with found objects similar to this. So that's it. We're off to the circus where I don't know if there will be monkeys or not. If it was up to me, I'd say bring them on!
It's Wednesday again and time for
Woogie Wednesday. It's about 9:45 P.M. now and I've been going full force since 4am, but wanted to show a "ww" in progress.
I had several deadlines today and I knew I wouldn't have time to do a "ww" project so while I worked I had the Woog work on her part of the project. She made several drawings of heads and then started drawing apples (with arms and legs) like crazy. Not sure what they deal was there but she was excited about them so I was too. So, this is the "Big Head" I chose to use and I will add my part tomorrow:
to be continued...

The new
Woogie Wednesday site/shop/blog is now up and running. Go check it out and add to her college fund :)
It's Wednesday again and time for
Woogie Wednesday. This is where we make one of my
found object (Junk A Doodles) pieces.
Here's what we started off with:
I then asked her, what should we make out of all this?
"Diamonds" she said with a smirk on her face. She was wearing a "diamond" ring and she wanted something to match.
I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do, so it took me a while to figure it out and in the meantime she lost interest but did check on me from time to time and hand me pieces of junk to use.
The best thing I could come up with was a cat with diamond stripes and diamonds on the collar. I also did a few stitch lines and am calling it Illustration Friday this week too.
Here's how it turned out:
I'm still working on the Woogie Wednesday site, but prints should be up for sale over the weekend if not before.
And, now some
Link Back Love for today:

It's Wednesday again and time for
Woogie Wednesday. This is where we make one of my
found object (Junk A Doodles) pieces.
Here's what we started off with:
I then asked her, what should we make out of all this?
"How 'bout a DUCK!"
OK. I guess we both have
birds on the mind today.
She starts picking out which parts will be what and paints the head, beak and paper punches random bits, while I paint the background. She them turns her attention to doing one all by herself and confiscates 2 of the pieces. She made a mouse and thought it was hilarious that I took a picture of it:
And here's how it turned out:
And then here's out finished product. more of a chick than a duck. It would make a cute Valentine's Day card I think.
I'm launching a Woogie Wednesday site next week and we'll be selling prints of our pieces, so stay tuned!
We didn't get a chance for Woogie Wednesday yesterday, so we worked on our quick project today.
The Woog received some
pretty awesome hair accessories for Christmas and we needed to make a special holder for them. Here's our materials:
*still working on lighting in my studio for picturesAnd here's how it turned out:
These are all from
Pretty In Paper and I love, love, love them!! Definitely unique!!
It's Woogie Wednesday again and today we've been working on our handmade gifts from the Woog to go with our
handmade Christmas.
Earlier this morning we had a "photo shoot" for her Daddy's gift and for some reason she has started flashing this really sqwinchie smile when I take a picture. This is one I think I'll do in black and white.
*This isn't the photo used as the gift though. That's a surprise.
Then we moved onto gifts for grandparents and such. The Woog loved our
magnet project this summer so we are making a magnet set entitled "Smiles of 2007":
And then I had to figure out what I could make for my cousin's tween boys. Not an easy task. So I thought up these gross eye ball magnets to make. All boys that age have got to love eye balls!!
She has a few picture frames to decorate and then she should be good to go on all her gifts.
