Friday shoot out-theme, Odds




The law of odds.

“Odd numbers are better than Even ones in photography.”

In decorating, for example, 3 or 5 make it more interesting.
More than that makes for more clutter.


7 volleyball players.




3 traffic cones.

3 Canadian Geese



7 golden finches.




5 dried roses.


There are 17 angels in my collection, an odd number, but it does look cluttered.

Vintage Thingie Thursday and this week's art project

Well it is still raining in Kentucky.
Still snowing in some states 
but today is
Vintage Thingie Thursday 
and that makes for a fun day.

Many years ago I crocheted continuously.
Mostly with cotton.
I had doilies all over the place.


 This was a table cover and they sort of went out of style.
Diameter about 24 inches across.
One day I was looking for something to do, I bought a generic barbie doll and converted this table cover into
this

Luckily I did not have to make a single cut.
I took the head off and inserted the neck into the hole at the center of the  doily, the arms through the holes,
added the wide ribbon wings, tied the waist with a gold ribbon and placed a piece of gold around her head for a halo. I found the little gold hearts somewhere.

She has been the center of my Nativity scene for many years.
Now doilies are back in for me and my crocheted doily will grace my Easter table this year.
It will then go back on the doll when Christmas rolls around again.
The grands get a big kick out of Angela and all vie for her when I am ready to part with her.
Guess I will have to draw names.

This is this week's art project.

A beautiful pattern that I made a couple of mess ups on.
But I did my best to correct them.
I love the colors on this bunny on wheels. LOL
Primitive art for sure.

Click on for greater detail.

I will have to steer you to 
my art teacher's paint page to see it in all it's beauty.

Could not link up today but you can go over and see some great things.

Friday Shoot Out - Collections

It is Friday and FSO time.
Since I am older than dirt, I have had many collections. It got so I had no room for all my collections.
So I gave some away and focused on others.
Now there are a lot of places in my town to find collectables.
New shops
Consignment shops
Goodwell
Antique shops
M & M consignment on the spot shop.
In this shop you take your items in, the owner and you agree on a price. It is then hers and you get your money on the spot.
That shop is full to the brim.
But things are very neat and all items are grouped today.
Now that is what I like.
To go in and know where to go for my favorite collectible.
Cobalt Blue Glass.
These are new pieces I got this week.
I usually look for small pieces to add to my window sills, but I found these two mugs with birds on them and they are now my new tea mugs.
  I just love these two wall vases.
Had never seen any of these before either.
Isn't this the cute thing. A tiny little oil lamp. 
It works too, has a wick and holds oil.
I put it next to the cup to show how small it is.
This is my favorite place to shop.

This was one of my favorite pieces in the shop, but not on my list of collectibles or in my price range.

  My collection of angels.
I gave away many of them but these were all gifts from special folks.
Click on to read
"Angels Gather Here"
across the bases of the three angels.

 Collection of brass pieces.
Pitchers and candle sticks mostly used at Christmas.

Go here for more Friday Shoot Out.
I like to collect quotes too.

“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.” — Anais Nin

Sketchbook Challenge-Highly prized.

Just finished reading a few posts with early sketches and as they say it may not be perfect, but it was fun.

Did this New Year's day.


I dug out an old sketchbook that I had dabbled some watercolors on and added some mixed media, since I would like to get better at that style.


 Watercolors
Music
and
Angels
since we have twin daughter angel babies in heaven.
Things I highly prize.
