A Creepy Make N Take for Louisiana!

August 31, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

Connie (Tickle Me Pink) and I discussed a Make n Take some time ago - and so last night I realized - I gotta make something!!!  LOL!  Well, it doesn't take much for me to embrace the spooky time of year, since my birthday is the day after Halloween.  Traditionally scary things like AGING at midnight and face painting abounds in this household; plus Megan liked a Halloween … [Read more...]

LAYOUT: You Were Meant to be Mine

May 28, 2009 by admin 5 Comments

I've been wanting to play with Prima's Artful Cardboard product for a while - so I took some time while the kids were doing their homework yesterday afternoon, to experiment. I love this picture.  Bri was just 8 months old and at that perfect giggly, grab her toes and chunky little wrists stage.  Neil and I couldn't have been more over the moon with her at this … [Read more...]

About Sally Lynn MacDonald

Sally Lynn is an Anarchivist® that often mixes her love of creating and teaching art with her high-tech side – blending a love of handmade art with hybrid-digital media in what she playfully calls her ‘studio lab’. Every now and then her large-format printer is subjected to printing on a surface that definitely is not listed in the owners’ manual.

She is a maven for studio organization, using her abilities to use spreadsheets and databases to bring order from chaos. “It’s marvelous when the right and left brain actually work together in the studio!” Read More…

Worked on Queen Charlotte sketch during my lunch b Worked on Queen Charlotte sketch during my lunch break. I'll have to build up some courage to paint this one tonight. I could do several studies just on that marvelous hairpiece. I love @stabilo point 88 fineliners for this stage. No. 88/89 has an almost Quin / Nickel Azo Gold to it when you watercolor, as the line is water soluble. I use the others for placement of fine detail, close to the final hue of the watercolor paint I will use. Ages ago I used water soluble graphite, but it makes things quite muddy, especially when working with such contrasts. The actor, @goldarosheuvel, has such a wry set of her lips and a look of discernment. I feel like the Queen is already judging me.. I hope I can capture it in this study.

Lady Danbury from a small watercolor sketch in my Lady Danbury from a small watercolor sketch in my 4x6 sketchbook. I'm working on a Women of Bridgerton series. @adjoa.andoh is so much more beautiful than I was able to portray tonight. I loved her strong, independent and fiercely loyal portrayal of Lady Danbury. A few more studies to get under the belt before I move on to the larger piece.

New Year. New Goals. In just the last month I have New Year. New Goals. In just the last month I have had many things come through and others disappointingly fall flat. But in the end pitching my ideas it is like cooking: I may do every step just right and know exactly how to do it; and still the dough doesn't rise, or the whipped cream doesn't reach its peak. Does that mean I stop trying altogether?
.
TBH, when you put your heart into something and it doesn't work out - it's ok to pout, get mad, even have a little stress down. But better things are always on the horizon. I recently wrote a proposal that went nowhere. But meanwhile I proposed something else that took off in ways I could only dream of.
.
I just want to encourage you to keep on swinging for the bleachers.  Your unique gifts have you on somebody's short list and you won't even know until you try, again. And again. A phone call. A text. A Zoom meeting. An email.
.
I believe in you, dreamer.

Chocolate Mousse is sometimes the best answer I ca Chocolate Mousse is sometimes the best answer I can give as comfort to my family.. What a week!

https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/chocolate-mousse-recipe0-1955790
16 years ago @goldenpaints told us that #Quinacrid 16 years ago @goldenpaints told us that #QuinacridoneGold was discontinued because the pigment was simply no longer to be found. And here we are with this lovely favorite, #quinacridonenickelazogold (shown in OPEN); and I laugh to think that I love it even more than the original!! What about you? It's a silly thing - but it just reminds me that things can turn out fine even when they seem less so at the time. <3

From Just Paint newsletter, December, 2004.
"First the bad news: We have been forced to discontinue our most venerable color, a color we introduced to the marketplace, and one that soon became our signature color – Quinacridone Gold. The pigment manufacturer will no longer support the required pigment, and despite an exhaustive search, there is simply no other source to be found. 
.
Now the good news: Through a vigilant effort, the GOLDEN Lab, led by fearless director Jim Hayes, has created a well-matched solution to the original Quinacridone Gold. By blending a Quinacridone Gold Red Shade with Nickel Azo, the new blend called Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold achieves the wonderful characteristics of the original Quinacridone Gold, including a warm yellow-gold quality in the undertone as well as a tight tint. Golden Artist Colors, Inc. is excited about the new formula and we hope you too will delight in its rich qualities."
