TAG, YOU"RE IT FOR 5! A fun way to get ideas for new designs....

Liz, that is perfect!! 2 cute

Good luck Maggie, I know ull rock it

That is so Great!!! We love Yo Gabba Gabba (even though we're all to old for it!) -- I don't think I could accomplish that design in five minutes though-- well, not trying to write my letters backward in the mirror anyway!

I think with more time and practice I would add some shading and outlines, more stars and swirly things.

Great work! It looks adorable!

Great work guys!

Ruth, you are to kind to me girl

So, I am having company this afternoon and tonight. Tomorrow I'll have my friend's kids here, 2 girls I'll have something by tomorrow afternoon if that is okay.

I'm excited for Greek Goddess!

My notification emails didn't come from this thread
I missed so many lovely comments! Thank-you everyone!
Nice to see so many people wanting to participate and stretch themselves!

I love it Liz!!! I think it fits the bill Much better than what I posted... You are amazing!!! Getting back into the swing of things is a little harder than I thought it would be.

Maggie: I can't wait to see what you post I love your work!!!

I'll have it up by this afternoon.

Thank you skidds

Okay, this is what I came up with. I hate it! Not happy with it but what the heck, got to post it now lol

Beautiful!!!! and So are you!!!! I am blown away!!

Awww, thank you!

I tag Daizy to do bakugan! I will pm her now.

Sorry guys big earthquake here, hopefully I will be able to get onto it tonight!
First I need to google what on earth that is though

OMGosh Daizy! Is everyone okay? how scary, I have been so busy today I haven't watched tv.

LOL about looking at what bakugan is. I forgot you had all girls right?
here is a link to what it is

What the heck are you talking about Maggie??!
That is very greek and very goddess!
I love it!
Although it would probably take me longer then 5 minutes on dots alone! LOL

Oh no Daizy!!! Is everyone ok? I hope that everything is ok now!!!

hahaha Tamara, I used the dotter wand from snazaroo. 1st time using it, it is great for big big dots and is super quick lol
You can see where I started to use black to outline some of the pearls but I knew it was going to take me too long so I stopped there. Oh and next time I'll use the pearl white with a little yellow for the pearls but since it was under 5 minutes I went with just white.

I love it Maggie! Looks like a laurel wreath with pearls.
My daughter would love it, she was the reason I picked Greek goddess. She is currently into all things ancient Greece and is learning to write the Greek alphabet!
I think this design would be beautiful for dressing up as Athena for Halloween.

Is that old gold and copper?

We are all fine, we just have heaps of family right near the center which we haven't heard from.
I don't want to hold you guys up... don't think my hands are steady enough to paint anything today, I can pass it to the next on the list....

Ummm... I saw your pic before I read what you said and thought to myself, I think this is one of my all time favorites. And then I read that you hated it! You're crazy! It's beautiful!

My daughter said, with a gasp, "that's awesome. She could be Persephone!"
So, she definately approves.

Maggie your greek godess is beautiful - delicate and pretty, great idea, I was wondering what you were going to come up with.

Love your idea of bakugan - my boys will love to see the outcome of that one!!!

Daizy....prayers and love going out to you and your family and everyone in NZ.

I really appreciate everyones compliments! I am so glad you guys liked it, my daughter and son saw me and said "Mom, you look beautiful!" I always second guess my work but with your and my kids approval I like it much better now

Liz, tell your daughter I said Thanks, it is all about the youngsters, if they are happy I am happy How old is she?
btw, I used tag old gold and tag pearl bronze green for the leaves and tag copper for the lips.

Thank you Rae! My son loves bakugan, I had one child ask me once for it and I had no idea where to start, I was just going to wing it but the mother was standing right there and made him change his mind to a snake Phew LOL

So glad to hear everyone is okay Daizy!

Well Maggie, i think I will be placing an order for old gold and the bronze green. Those colors are gorgeous!

My daughter is 11, BTW. She said it looks like Persephone because she is the goddess of spring? I don't know, she's the Greek freak in the family....architecture, mythology...etc.

Can't wait to see what's up next!
