Weekly Art Sessions

Our fall weekly art sessions are now drawing to a close and we have had a lot of very interesting and beautiful artwork produced. The following are just a few of these creations....I will post more in the next month or so.

Monique Masseau is new to pen and ink, and this was her first project. The pattern was designed by Mary Owens and is called S'Nobody's Home. Monique is now working on a Christmas piece designed by Jamie Mills-Price - I will post it when it is finished.

Sue Deighton (who is always wowing us with her creativity), brought some skates in, and proceeded to ink this design on. The pattern is Cardinal, and it was designed by Laure Paillex. Since completing this piece, Sue has done designs on a number of skates, including a black pair. All the pieces turned out beautiful.

This project (Cardinal on a Fence) was completed by Ruth Hisko, and it was designed by Mary Owens. Ruth just started working with the pen & ink technique last year, and she has since completed a couple of Mary Owens projects. She is currently working on a project she has taken from a photograph- it is all inked and she is about to start the rouging - it looks great so far!!

The man (Hoeing the Strawberries) and woman (Grandma Celesta) are projects designed by Claudia Nice. The patterns are in two of her older books (Barnyards & Billygoats and Scenes from Seasons Past). Linda Dufour took the patterns, added a little detail, inked the design, then rouged on oil paint. The two pieces side by side look wonderful.

Ginette Beaulieu completed these little ornaments (Chilly, Icy, and Flake - all were designed by Jamie Mills-Price and can be found in her new book Christmastime between the Vines #6). There are actual wooden cutouts for the designs, but, at the time Ginette did her pieces, the cutouts were not available in Canada. So, Ginette put the designs on wooden decorations - they look great. (I understand the wooden cutouts are now available in Canada).

That's it for now - there are several new projects in the works, along with some that are finished, but I just haven't posted them yet. So, stay tuned for more interesting pieces in the future.
