Arte y pico Award

Today, i was honoured to be given the Arte y pico Award, by my very dear friend Margaret (Boy I wish I lived closer) http://www.artistmargaretfield.blogspot.com/ To say i was overwhelmed is an understatement, and am truly grateful to you Margaret. We have never 'met' but hope to one day soon.(or would that be a bad idea) hehehehhee I am truly honoured to have you as a friend Margaret.Now I have to nominate 5 blogs who I think deserve this award too.BUT ... my winners then are requested to do the following :

1) You have to pick 5 blogs who deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material and also contributes to the blogging community no matter what language.

2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to the blog to be visit by everyone.

3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and the link to the blog that has given her or him award itself.

4) Award winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "arte y pico" blog (linked in my title) so everyone will know the origin of this award. (Cut and paste the info into your blog to make things easier)So who do i choose, well this must be the hardest thing ever for me to do. I have made such great and talented artistic friends in the past year, and would dearly love to give each and every one of you an award. But alas this is not possible.

BRATZ Style Creations in Pastels

Something different

Something different for me-Bratz styley doll things, as my youngest daughter calls them -At least by doing these they dont have to look like real humans lol.

These are done in pastels and were quite enjoyable,now have alist of these to do for my youngest daughter(13) todo for her room..(shes not well bless her)

These are don eon A4 coloured card.

Been trying to sketch

It has been a beautiful day here in Scotland today,so decided the garden needed doing! I have been itching to cut my grass and give it a general tidy for weeks now but with the sun out and hubby having a day off-job done!

Also managed to tidy and clean my craft area-that pastel dust gets everywhere! Although I dare say it will not last for long,it never does.

This evening I have been doing a bit of sketching and colouring, I have a fear of doing faces and people and animals,so thought it time I bit the bullet and at least tried. Not happy with the charcoal pic of woman but quite please with the childs eye. You know what they say prctise,practise,practise!

Plans for the day

Good morning all,well today I am taking my son with me to my friends. Her youngest son and Harry are friends from school and seeing as they are on half term,thought it would do Harry good to go somewhere different.
They can play,mean while Jill and myself can play in her studio! YAY.
Think today will be pastels,she is going to give me a master class, she is a very talented artist. (although she would not agree)
My girls will be staying home and on "Snoop" watch as I would not dare leave him on his own as he has taken a liking to my chair legs! Poor chair legs.
Will be doing the usual h*%£*%"*k this morning and hope it is tidy when I get back-yeah right! lol
On that score I am off to empty the dishwasher and chuck in another load of washing. Wont get any washing dry outside today as weather looks miserable!
Ohh forgot to say I am working on a secret project,all will be revealed soon! So make sure you come back to check what I am up too.
