wonderland
Busy week. Kinda kicking my butt. Fun, though. Alice in Wonderland theme. I can’t take credit for the theme idea, but I’m having fun with it and the kids are quite clever and creative.
Squiggle painting with my wonderful assistant and her sister. They both heard me call E by Spawn’s name- if I ever hear from Spawn again, she will LOVE that! as it drives her out of her mind when I call her E by mistake. oops (Spawn is away at the beach with church group, finding Jesus and not calling her parents.) Well, that was an interestingly punctuated sentence. You’re welcome.
We’re doing scenes for crazy characters (which are undone at this point, but perhaps less undone by this afternoon) and I thought these two paintings were just fab. Many of the others are as well, but I didn’t get pics of everything with anonymity preserved.
Trying something I’ve never attempted before, but acting/reading is art too so we went with it. And we naturally had to paint a backdrop for our recitation of the Jabberwocky. It’s even cooler now, but here’s in progress. Yes, that would be a Jubjub bird and the Jabberwocky is in the middle getting blood all over him. Yikes. Oh, and there’s a beamish boy to the left of the Jabberwocky.
We had a tea party yesterday. Wow. We’re not ready for the queen.
Completely unrelated. My wacky little wildish roses. Which are not red.
Surely we need a song too: HERE. trippy
cannot believe I forgot THIS SONG which is on the radio right now (to satisfy my daily requirement of Tom Petty).

Anything in the theme of Alice in Wonderland is amazing.
those kinda look like knockout roses. nice. and I like the squiggle drawing, too.
For a moment I thought you had visited the Wonderland!
@angys_coco - oh. the ballroom.
not so much.
i’m going to have a painting party. seriously. told these girls they had to come over.
@plantinthewindow - hi! they are little roses. i tried to kill them when we first moved here. i failed, thank goodness.
@Marica0701 - it really is a fabulous theme. i didn’t love it until monday. (that is probably because i didn’t have enough time between gigs.)
I like these.
That looks like so much fun.
Everythiing looks great! I am so glad that you do this. We need more such in our lives.
yay, you! (i know, boring, since you hear that a lot
still. love this. just assume, i wish i was there.
can’t stand the Petty (except when he’s a character in The Postman) but yes, Feed Your Head
@armnatmom - thanks
@Bloodrootsandscales - best job ever.
@lanney - i dont’ know why i dread it so much in advance. because i love to play.
@Bels_Kaylar - that would be fun. squared. dunno why i like petty so much. he’s got a weird whiny voice and his mouth doesn’t move. but i do like him. so there it is.
@promisesunshine - if I’m right, these are the kind you can gather and crush, and use for tea.
looks like a lot of fun
careful, tea in wonderland? really? you know how she is already.
hmmm. I think tom petty might be a space alien. considering the tiny non-moving mouth. but I hearts him. especially everything before a certain time.
look for Jesus at the beach. Geo-Jesus. Neat.
wonderific art. glad nobody lost their head.
OH MY GOSH! Great theme! Looks like a blast!
Loves the music you picked out for today! 
HUGS!!!
@adamswomanback - yea, this theme will happen again. it’s a good one.
@distractedbyzombies - maybe tomorrow my assistant will let me use the paper cutter.
seriously a song on the radio every day at different times of the day for weeks now. it’s bizarre. i hearts him too. but i suppose i said that already.
@longshadow618 - she didn’t accept our invitation today either. so we all kept our heads.
@godfatherofgreenbay - ’tis.
@plantinthewindow - i believe there are hips involved.
mmmmm….alice……
:3 gosh I love Alice in wonderland, it’s such an amazing theme and it seem you’re having so much fun with it… I love the paintings.
Those wild roses are adorable
I love your way with colors.
Little Andrew will spend time with me tomorrow. I have a white bed sheet (for twin bed) which we never use. SO I am going to let him paint on that whatever he wants, and will put a batting behind it and make it like a throw for the baby’s room in August.
You always give me such wonderful ideas Carrie. Thank you. Wish you lived close to me.
@ZSA_MD - how lovely that would be. enjoy your time with andrew and the messy project.
@leaflesstree - :)
@meddwl - fun stuff.
@buddy71 - uh huh
Am I too old or too late to be in your camp? I’d love to paint scenery and create backdrops!
@murisopsis - i have other camps.
and we always paint.
Lovely, looks like super duper fun. A daily dose of Tom Petty…..my, you do need some kind of help….that is one strange addiction.
@vexations - it’s not my addiction. it just happens.
