Like mother like daughter

So after my last post I told my daughter about Bob Ross. We found The Joy of Painting DVDs, and she too was hooked.
Her first attempt was much like mine. "Three hairs and some air" did not work, unlike me though she tried it again and was successful. Here are the paintings she made based on his technique.

Happy Accidents!

"We don't make mistakes here, we just have happy accidents." - Bob Ross

If you don't know who Bob Ross is, you need to google him and find his video's The
Joy Of Painting.

Watching his show made my artistic dreams possible, and then with a swish of my paint brush crushed them immediately. I was 12 years old crying over my canvas because I didn't have
"happy trees", I didn't have trees at all. Well it turns out painting just wasn't my medium.

So last night while working on beads I had a "happy accident", actually a few. The beads weren't what I was envisioning but they still turned out pretty.
