Today I had a get together with my friend Lillian Alberti...alias...LILLIANO! She is a wonderful teacher...now traveling to different places to "do her "LIL BIT of Whimsy"! So I cherish the time I get to spend with her! ....I thought I was going to her...but I believe she had "cabin fever" and came by me!! Then a phone call came in...long story short, my friend Heathie came over too. We just all worked on our own things.
My "thing" was inspired by Lilliano...who created the most beautiful leapord slippers for her "Princess and the Pea" doll.....I couldnt believe she painted them. I really wanted to learn that ...because painting is a bit of a struggle for me...and I'm a "Leapord Freak"...I hoard anything Leapord...and now she opened my world up...OK...JUST PAINT IT!!! then , I have FULL CONTROL..I can make anything leapord! Oh my gosh...THAT IS INSPIRATION! So I worked hard (taking as many tips from Lilliano as I could)...while we all worked and talked "ART"!! haha I am very happy with what I accomplished today (i'll keep at it until i get my "perfect" leapord print)... I have an Idea for a Leapord crown to go with this tiny dolls little leapord pants i made from my painted fabric....so i'll see what happens for this doll!
It was Fantastic to have this "Creative" get together With Lillian...she teaches me that you can " create" anything in your head with what is "on hand"...and I teach her to open the box and find "more stuff" to use!!! haha
And Heathie is also a BIG inspiration to me...she excells in anything that she tries...she is great with Fabric and needlesculpting...and also with clay..
