SINDERELLA'S STUDIO: Sunday Sketches...In Orb-it!!!

As my busy world is spinning, so much going on! Work is busy, babysat last night and that was busy! Nothing like a seven year old and 3 year old to keep you hopping - great fun! Grandpa, Jackson and Neva!

Wedding only 2 weeks away - Mothers Day in-between...yikes! So to sooth my soul I did a journal page in soft blues - layered watercolor spheres/orbs...it was a glazing exercise in one of my books. As I looked at the page I felt like getting inside one of the orbs and just traveling around viewing everything from an outside perspective... taking in all that life has to offer... so many smiles!

In Orb-it

Used my sharpie fine point markers to color in the butterfly! I love these markers for quick fun. No fuss- no mess, so can get my art-fix quick! My special project is at the framers...can't wait to share soon.

Make art, make friends - share art, share souls!!! thanks to Sophia for sharing this site each Sunday...Sunday Sketches
cheers, dana
