Huntington Libray in San Marino. They have beautiful gardens & I love their book/gift store....I came home with a very pretty little copy of Jane Eyre.

Summer Snapshots
Here are some photos of some of what we've been up to lately, these past summer days.
Hanging out at O'Neill Park, a cool wilderness area near our house.

Recycled Tin & Cut Out Girls
I've been making things to keep busy & have fun, in between going places with the 3 kiddos.
I was thinking my mini Altoid tin was too cute to just throw away, so I started decorating the inside of it. Then I ended up making this little clay Russian type doll, that fits nicely in it.
Also, I had these ink doodle drawings I did, in my art book. A lot of times they just stay in a book & never see the light of day, so I was thinking I should use some this time. I cut them out & put them on this piece of wooden plaque, I painted.

Her Headdress
Hello there.
These past few summer days have been spent trying to occupy my kids in creative ways...nature walks, trips to the nursery to buy plants, drawing, blowing bubbles. I love how something as simple as blowing bubbles makes their little hearts happy(at least for awhile, right?)
Richard(the husband guy), is in Indonesia for a couple weeks, & I think it's cool he is on an adventure. Very happy he gets to see another part of the world. But I have a feeling this is going to be a LONG 2 weeks!
I have been working on this little clay doll/planter below. I had been wanting to try & make something like this for awhile & because I love art, I love the outdoors....hey, why not put the two together? I am really into succulants/cacti & bonus, they don't need much tending to, which is nice. Anyway, I finished this piece today. She wears a paper feather headdress with a butterfly attached, & little plants coming out of the top of her head. It is about 5 inches high. Next time I want to try & go bigger.
