Manicure….4
So…it all started with this picture. (It seems I can’t find the link to this source picture., sorry). I think I have a thing for hands! Heck, who wouldn’t, cuz ya know….”the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”.
But seriously….this was not the best picture to work from in printed form. Had to do much improvisation, oh boy!
Art class pic from last week. Didn’t work on it much last week.
Very disappointed in my nail art selection…I thought I could make those American flag nails pop….but with the stripes et al, it just wasn’t going to happen with my skill level and with this color background.
I’ve outlined with my fine tipped marker…which means “in my head”…I’m done and ready to move on….even though I can see the apparent flaws. With my critical nature I must take into consideration how much I enjoyed this and how much I learned. If I were my teacher I’d give it an 85. Not bad, not bad. (but I may just have to go in and fix that third fingers knuckle placement.)
P.S. You may be interested to know that my art studio is now offering live figure nude drawing classes….Yikes! Haha….not to worry won’t post any of those pictures here

About Me

- By day...I work in the Healthcare field, where every .. i.. has to be dotted and every ..t.. has to be crossed. This blog is the place where I can let myself go and have some fun. I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser! And if you're really curious there's a 3 part Interview by Eileen: HERE All the best, Eden
