Happy 2026!!!
I want to begin by thanking Sharon from "That Girl Fritchey!" for such a great job hosting in December. We've already invited her to join us again this year to host a month. Second, in case you haven't read, blogger is STILL not allowing me to leave comments. I cannot seem to get rid of the dreaded "Failed to Publish, Try Again Later." Please understand I hope you realize I DO keep trying at least twice a day.
We begin the new year with a new host as we do each month. This is one of our moderators and my dear friend Erika who many of you know as BioArtGal. Erika's theme for the entire month of January is What's Up?
Erika suggested "if you want you can make pages about things that are up,
like things in the sky..." Therefore, I went that route.
It's obvious I named this "At the hot air balloon festival." Details are below.
I began by coloring 110 lb cardstock using blue watercolor. Once dry, I stamped five hot air balloons, the best of which I detailed. I then computer generated the sentiment and outlined it using black dye ink.
