Thankful Heart

(hearts available at Vignette's)

i know i'm a little early to start talking Valentines day- but i feel so inspired to share:::::

i made these "hearts of green"in hopes to renew and grow a different attitude towards Valentines day and all the romantic expectations

Who knows what your heart needs best?

for me, it is the women in my life ::::

My daughters, My Mom- good, good friends ::my sweet Sister

soul mates & my super fun cousin- all the ladies that have got my back

Fear is just a thought........

How great are all these affirmations? So needed to feel safe- give myself permission to play.

I stumbled upon this when I entered the online classroom

(le petit academy)taught by Suzi Blue - I am now convinced she wil be the one to baby step me into drawing beautiful doll folk art:::

Suzi blu and all her amazing art goddessness places you ever so gently right where you need to be , inspires you beyond belief all while engaging your silly self to play along.

This is my first sketch I have named her Spirit-

cant wait for her to come to life;)

Learned how to color her face with pencils, Suzi has SO many great tips and techniques, who new colored pencils could be so fun!

There is a huge network of artists who take the classes and the way Suzi has it set up is so fun, you can connect and share your progress.

All the video's are downloadable and yours to keep, this way you can work at your own pace::

the class: Les petit Dolls( beginner) January through May 2010
