Still on the Wagon...

Hey All!!!

It's been a little too long since I last posted something faaaaabulous. I just wanted to reassure everyone I am still on the Creative wagon... it's my passion, so I'll never fall off. HOWEVER, I have been so so busy... and I've let my blog fall to the back burner. I have a few things going on, Colors & Bottles events, up-coming gallery shows, and a few commissioned pieces in the works!ALSO, it's that holiday season, and I don't know about you, but I have a ton of friends and family to buy for. That being said, I have a ton of friends and family who already have it all... so that brings up a lot of questions on what the heck to buy them?!? As an artist I take it upon myself to make them special, one-of-a-kind pieces. Not all paintings, and actually none of these 'gifts' are paintings, I like to make functional, every-day items that can be used, and I think that all could create with the right instructions. Everyone loves a conversation piece, and that's what I try to convey. I am not a DIY blog, however, if you look at posts from this time a year ago... I gave some great DIY gift ideas. I will be doing that again this year, I'll be posting ideas, and finished pieces of great DIY gifts... Family and friends who follow my blog frequently, don't worry, I won't give away any hints as to whose gifts are whose... but you may be treated to a sneak peak. :)

Black Friday is coming up.... so remember to be nice to your retail workers, respect other shoppers, and most importantly it's the season of love, giving, and compassion... so ACT like it. ;) 

Then when all is said and done... book this painting session to end your Black Friday shopping! :)

 

If this particular painting isn't your cup of tea, or Black Friday painting doesn't appeal to you... check out the calendar, or message me directly to find out the other paintings, and dates I'll be instructing. 

 Keep in mind for you non-Ohioians...  I would love the opportunity to travel else where to book a private event. Colors and Bottles offers classes all over the country! :)

Remember, in the great words of Pablo Picaso, "Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist as you grow up". 

Peace, Love, and ART, 

Brittany

A little beach R&R...

Hi All!!!

I am back from my temporary hiatus... the hiatus was for a great reason, this I assure you. I just got back from spending about 2 weeks with my family in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. All my nieces and nephews were there, along with my sisters and brother-in-laws. It was a fantastic time full of sand, boogey-boarding, arts and crafts, and Oreos! I will post a few more of my favorites from the arts and craft sessions with the little ones... here are a couple photos for now... 

Create your own postcards (watercolors on index cards)... [Photo by Christy Hahn, Edits by moi].

Toilet paper roll monsters... I began this with an idea to make an octopus, but I thought monsters would be more fun! [Photo and edits done by moi].

 I have spent a few hours editing some of my favorites from this year's vacation, I hope to make postcards for each family of some of these photos, so we can remember our trip this year. Another great idea would be to transfer these photos to canvases for them-A nicer touch to a home, and the canvases have a bit more substance than just photos in a frame.

This is typical, My Dad. [Photo by Christy Hahn, edits by me].

Last, but not least... a little father-in-law/son-in-law bonding... or something like that... 

My brother-in-laws with my dad. [Photo by Christy Hahn, edits by me].

Hope you enjoyed these photos... Trust me it was very hard for me to pick my favorites, but I think these pretty much summed up our vacation. 

Make sure to keep checking back regularly, as I touch on everything creative in my life. I am focusing on doing a lot of projects with my nieces,  (4 and 8), to get a better idea of which crafts  work best, and to help figure out all kinks in the projects before I use them on a larger group. The toilet paper roll monsters went VERY well, and better yet, went we fabulously for both age groups. 

Pace&Love for now, 

Brittany
