Just finished a set of 4 original ACEO’s.  I’ll be putting them up for sell as soon as I decide which venue will be best… I may sell them straight from my studio’s facebook page.

I’ve done a little more on the first page and am l.o.v.i.n.g. it!! I should have said in the last post that I started out gesso-ing some pages.  Then I used my watercolor pencils for a wash of color. (Maybe I did mention these two things…) Next, I added some acrylics in 4 sunny shades of yellow – lemon, banana, bright yellow, and sunflower.  More gesso… more yellow… then, my favorite new thing, I dropped a single drop of India ink and blew on it through a straw… here’s what I’ve got so far:

I forgot to list who the participants of the round robin are:
Kathy King
Emily Perry
Susie LaFond
Kelley Brown
Cristi Clothier
Ophelia Staton
Carin Wallace
Paula Phillips
Lisa Miller
Ann Malone (of course!)
Elena Nosyreva

Off for more journaling/art!!

When I retrieved my mail after coming home from Vegas, I squealed with delight!

I received my first journal in the Round Robin.  Elena’s came all the way from Dallas Texas!  :)  (I live only an hour away.)

So now that we’ve settled back into our normal routines, I’ve sat down to begin my pages.  Last night, I gesso’d a page or two, in prep for some fun.

I’ve started one layer this morning with some watercolor pencils… love the before and after effects!  I *must* get some watercolor crayons soon!

I want more layers!!

Got something new and fun in the works! 

Welcome to all that have reached this site via http://erinkenepp.blogspot.com for the Art Journal Round Robin!  I'll be uploading a BUNCH of stuff this evening after work... please stay tuned! 

After what seems like forever, I have internet service again!!  Just in time for the New Year.

2009 was the Year of SUCK-Y-NESS!!

2010 will  be the Year of Winning. I so proclaim.  I shall win and win a lot in the year 2010… My quest for a winning year will begin with the OB Cues Tour first stop at Rusty’s in Arlington.  My short goal… win a damn match.  Mid-goal, win a few matches and get in, or near the money.  High/lofty/unrealistic goal, win the damn thing.  :) 

But let’s start with trying to get to the pool-hall to actually PRACTICE for a change… my new buddy, Ashley, has been good at pushing me to do better and to play/practice more.  I think she’ll be a good practice partner.

Better get started… Rusty’s is January 23rd & 24th… it’s coming up fast!  Go Me!
