Monday Gnoming Day

It is always interesting to be back at work after the weekend. You know people to see, people to meet... My day begins with Spelling and then straight into Art with a rowdy bunch of Year 6's. Luckily for me we had to work on an artwork relating to "my family" so family portrait here we come... .......Let me know what you think.....
-Then the spin was, a family portrait painted using secondary colours. There always is a hidden agenda when it comes to my art classes. Any way I can get the students to remember basic art principals is a good thing... One is always prepared in the real world if you know your primary colours!!! Yea I know, that is the teacher in me.
-Here is one of my gouache gnome paintings. I do love gnomes, they are very interesting individuals... One should always befriend a gnome..
If only I could find a pair of shoes like that, but of-course mine would have to be red! I do have a passion for red items... Red is my colour of choice! Again the photo is very dark, makes the colours look darker than they really are. Or as cheeky Lyn would call it -hooker red. Yes bright red, any red is my ideal colour. Red always makes me feel better, life is better with something red!
Here is some divine :Ginkgo in Deep Red - Limited Edition Pure Hemp Canvas (50cm) by Lara Cameron. It is just beautiful, I love the colour, pattern and divine material.... It would look fabulous as a cushion, bag or even a groove dress. Yes a fabulous summer dress- awesome!!

-My gnoming group has attended 3 sessions at lunch time. So far, needle felting has had one casualty- lucky student who speared themselves with the needle twice... Once you hurt, you learn not to do it again... At the moment we have created a body, and head. Creating a felted ball was harder for them than I thought...This is what I would like the students to achieve, this is my felted gnome- Harry. If we all get there is another story, but i hold hope that some will create their own little people/ gnomes. You see a red hat always makes one feel better. I think Harry is very happy with his RED hat.

HAPPY RED DAY!!!
