Wood Blocks

Two more blocks are done...still have a few more to go.

One Man's Trash

On Sunday I picked up a whole bunch of pieces of scrap wood from the trash at the carpenter's station in our construction site and Manolo looked at me like I was crazy but I had big plans for these small discarded blocks. I sanded them, gave one of the faces a layer of white acrylic and now they're my little canvases. 

They might become another man's treasure :-)

Flying High

Watercolor on aquabord. 5 x 7 inches. I'm having fun with these little clay boards :-)

Hummer is Done

Watercolor on aquabord. 5 x 7 inches.

A series of these birdies on aquabord will be available for purchase some time next month. I'll let you know before I do a Geninne's Originals shop update.

Humming

Watercolor on aquabord  5 x 7 inches.

Listening to Fionn Regan's "The End of History"

Last Batch

A couple of these might make it to my shop, 

but they are mostly just gifts for family & friends.

I'm taking a long break from the pyrography tool.

New Surface

As you've probably noticed I love trying out new things. 

This morning I used an aquabord panel instead of my usual watercolor paper 

to paint a bird on a cactus. I'm still unsure if I like it as much as I do paper, but I do like that it doesn't need to be framed to be displayed. I bought a whole bunch of panels during our recent visit to the Dick Blick art store in San Diego.

Ink & Brush

It was fun to put down the pyrographer and pick up a brush this morning :-)

Volcano Visit

One of my favorite things about living in this area 

are the stunning views we have of the Xinantécatl volcano. 

Well, this Sunday we decided to pay a visit to the dormant volcano's crater 

and it was magnificent, otherworldly & inspiring.

The last photo is one I took back in 2007 

when there was a nice cover of snow on the volcano.

Shop is Open :-)

Shop is open for business :-)

***Shop Update***

Shop update will be bumped until tomorrow at noon. Sorry guys! I'm only just finished editing half of my product shots. Never thought it was going to take that long! Thank you so much for your patience. I promise it will be worth the wait :-)

Pebbles

I've been giving my little pyrography pen a run for it's money 

making as many goodies I can for my shop update next Monday. 

These bamboo pebbles with be made into brooches.

The sunsets this time of year are incredibly spectacular. It is such a blessing to be able to stop what I'm doing every afternoon to enjoy this wonderful gift to the eyes & soul.

Cuffs

Still playing around with leather and the pyrography tool.

These cuffs plus a few bracelets will be available at my shop in a few days.
