This guys "web toy" is really really neat! I was going to take 10 minutes or so to check my e-mail and after stumbling onto the scribbler I have been at my computer for 45 minutes and I still have 13 e-mails to check! Ha! I'll have to do that tomorrow as it's T.V. time now. John rented "Boston Legal" on DVD starting with season one. I highly recommend watching a series that way! I love how I can follow the plot of the series better because watching it one right after the other I don't forget what happened in the last episode. We got caught up with "24" with Keefer Sutherland and after that we rented " Battlestar Galactica".


Anyway, you'll have to check the "Scribbler" out for yourself I can't really explain it .

I see that I forgot to post lesson's 5 & 6... I'll do that later but here's a cute picture I took a the salon. I saw this sweet little girl who was patiently waiting for her Mom to get her hair done... She was in her own little world of imagination inspired by all the colors on the hair color swatch board. I see an artist blooming or a haircolor client anyway! HA!



Have a great hair day! Becci

I got a little behind with my ATC Workshop project but am all caught up now...It feels so good to be caught up , I love that I can relax and enjoy my usual peaceful life. :-)
To refresh your memories I am participating in an "on line" workshop with a Yahoo group called "Artists of the Round Table"

100 of us began with chapter one of Bernie Berlins book called "ATC Workshop" and will do each chapter till we try every technique in the book. I think there are 13 chapters or so and each chapter has between 2 and 3 techniques so...as you can imagine we will all be doin' lots of new stuff!

here is a link to my first post about this workshop ...start at the bottom of the page if you'd like to view it in order. http://beccirenfro.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

Anyway this is Lesson # 7.

this technique is called "Resin Fresco". I used paint ultra thick embossing powder and gesso to get this neat textured look for this background. here I have the unfinished back ground of the little Frog dancer then I have it finished.
