Putting all the different lessons I learned into one pretty bouquet.
I haven't done a lot of watercoloring aside from filling in the white space like to you do with markers or crayons. It was so fun doing something new! It was challenging, but not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Turned out to be very relaxing! Much thanks to @thehappyevercrafter and @stephaniefehrenbach for these amazing lessons. If you wanna give it a try, you can click on their profiles and do the lessons too!

Spring
So obviously I didn't keep up with posting more frequently in March. You may or may not know this (I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before though) I tend to get very focused on something and everything else falls to the wayside. This time it's the guitar that's been occupying my every waking thought. Which is great, I love doing anything creative. But It's so hard. I think I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself though. I'm wondering why everything still sounds so cruddy, it's frustrating sometimes...but then I have to remember I've only taken 8 lessons. Oh, and watched hours and hours of youtube video lessons.
But I've definitely had time for other miscellaneous fun things. In fact today I went to my favorite art exhibit of the year...Bouquets to Art. I went with one of my crafting friends who hadn't gone before. I'm not sure what she expected, but I think she really enjoyed it. How could anyone not? It is super crowded though, which is always a challenge, but thankfully I carry quite a decent bit of patience in my back pocket. It's challenging waiting till no one is in your image.

Bigger is Better
As predicted, I wasn't satisfied with the smaller collage versions of yesterday's photos. So here are a few more, some different, some the same just bigger.
This couple was sitting in the observation deck having the most animated conversation. They were fun to watch.

Bouquets to Art
This is my 3rd year attending Bouquets to Art.
From March 19 to 23, the de Young Museum will once again be transformed with a magnificent mash-up of art and flowers when more than 100 of the Bay Area’s most innovative floral designers come together to produce Bouquets to Art 2013. In creating their spectacular floral arrangements, these designers pay tribute to and draw inspiration from the art in the de Young’s permanent collections.
I have so many photos to share! Since I've been doing a lot of collages, I'm going to try to show more by grouping them into collages. Not sure if I'll like it. Not sure if I'll feel like the beauty of the florals and art will be represented enough in a collage. So tomorrow's post just might feature my most favorite in full sized versions. The click though image is quite a bit bigger so don't forget to do that if you'd like to see more detail. Of course, a photo can't come close to capturing the beauty of seeing it live and in person, so if anyone wants to come next year...my door is always open! Just bring your walking shoes and lots and lots of patience because it's super crowded and I take photos of everything and will wait till that perfect moment when no one is in my frame.
This was in the atrium. I'm always drawn to heart art. Especially if it's edgy, a little bit broken and reveals more than the valentine's version of love.
This one made an impression on me. I've seen the artwork before, but really, never paid that much attention to it. But the floral arrangement, with the broken down chain link fence, the burnt and tattered shirt and shoe, the bent pipes...made me notice the title of the artwork: "The Burning of Los Angeles" based on the Watts Riots in August 1965. The floral arrangement made me pay attention to the art. And the art stuck with me. For the 1st time I noticed the people, the fires and the smoke. Before it was just abstract art. Now I could see the angry souls. Probably not my favorite piece, but the one that made the biggest impression.
The deYoung Museum hosts this event. It's architecture is unique. Thanks to our famous earthquakes, it's designed to shift 3 feet in any direction to help withstand our rockin' and rollin'. The exterior is entirely made of copper, which will mimic the trees in Golden Gate Park when it oxidizes. At the top of the twisting tower is an amazing observation deck 9 stories above street level. The other photos in this collage were taken today from the tower.

Bouquets to Art 2012
Every March, the De Young Museum hosts their famously popular "Bouquets to Art":
The five-day event, produced by the San Francisco Auxiliary of the Fine Arts Museums, features designs by 150 innovative floral designers, who create displays that pay tribute to and draw inspiration from the de Young’s permanent art collection.
Last year was the 1st time I went and I vowed to make every effort to go ever year from now on. It's very crowded, you're bumping into a lot of people, but it's worth it to be able to see how these amazing floral designers created their own masterpieces alongside the original masterpieces in the museum.
Out of the 150, these were some of my favorites.
