It was a fun morning.

This morning my friend Joanie came to the studio and we worked on our ESTY Shop for a few hours. Of course neither one of us really know what we were doing, so it took a while for us to get things going. The most fun this morning was writing the part about us, and of course we got silly, and of course it shows in what we wrote. If you get a chance, go and check us out.

As promised, I took pictures of the batiks that I was working on with the wax and without the wax. I just love doing this art!!! I never really know what a piece is going to look like until I iron all the wax out.

This piece still has the wax on it.

And this piece is finished. I had done this one before but it had too much brown in it, but I really like it with more of the red tones in it.

This one I had to work with some. When I took all of the wax off I didn't like the way it looked so I added some more watercolor to it. What do you think?

I also want to add a plug for the blog that I mentioned last week. I am addicted to this blog and I go in everyday to just read it and to read the comments that people leave. You always wonder if you can ever make an impact on someone else's life, and I have to tell you that this blog is making an impact on my life. If you get the chance go in and read it.

Okay, remember to dream the impossible and aim for it.
