<span style="font-size: large;">I challenged myself with watercolor because I have not worked with it much. I need to do more with it. Unfortunately it does not like book paper so much. I have done a few on watercolor paper and that is totally different. After this challenge I will have to challenge myself to work on watercolor paper. </span></div>

I personally am not a big fan of dream catchers. But I was so inspired by the awesome spirit of Rachael Rice! She is amazing, down to earth and cool!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I tried.</div>

I guess collage under every piece of art work is a popular theme for this year. It has been so far. I love collage but like I said before I like it just the way it is. Painting and drawing over collage is hard for me. I understand it adds depth to the piece. It is starting to grow on me.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tam also had a fun lesson painting a feather. I do love feathers! This was fun. I enjoyed letting the collage show. I even found in the book paper the word feather I accidentally painted the feather over it though. I like the swirls and the colors. I added a little purple around the edges.</div>

I enjoyed this activity. Create a beacon of light. This being is guiding you in your life. I started out with drawing my Spiritual Guide. But I couldn't paint it for some reason. So I just sat and breathed and did the lesson trying to be my authentic self and look who appeared! Me. Actually the girl looks nothing like me because I was trying to copy Tam's girl. Then words like Intuition, Devine me and my word of the year Authenticity came into the picture. I added colors and stamps and she was created. My Beacon of Light!</div>

I found this neat puzzle purse in the section on "Valentines Cross the Atlantic."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Puzzle purse valentines were a puzzle to read and to refold. Scattered among their many folds were verses that had to be read in a certain order. </div>

The Rose was sacred to the Roman Gods. They laid on couches spread with rose petals. Wore garlands of roses and crowns of roses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reclining on their beds of roses, they ate, drank, and gossiped. Anything said under the rose -the rose garland hung on the wall or the rose crowns on their heads- was <i>sub rosa,</i> and supposed to be kept secret. Meaning <i>under the rose,</i> this Latin expression became part of the english language. </div>

Paper lace was first made in England in 1834. One day by accident a file brushed over a sheet of paper embossed with a raised design. The high points of the paper were filed off, leaving tiny holes and a lace like effect.</div>

I love lettering so this was my time to really go with her lesson and try something new with my lettering. I usually just write some words and add a bit to it. The way she taught us here was a whole new experience for me. My own lettering. Instead of the perfectionist lettering I try to do freehand, she taught us to use our own writing. So here it is...<br />

I am not too fond of watercolor. I don't feel very confident with it. I tried her technique but I am such a perfectionist I had to fill in every space with watercolor and try to have the colors blend. So you can see there is no white accept for where the letters are. </div>

This is my third attempt. Still struggling with the watercolor letting go a bit, but my drawing was getting better. This was lot's of fun so much that I did not want to stop and probably if I had all the time in the world to paint I would have made a hundred of these. I'm certain I will make more. They are addictive.</div>

These colors were a challenge for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily I had a gelli print that had these dark colors. I used my Pentel pens over top of the acrylic gelli print. The pen took a while to dry so I was able to rub it and blend it in places and this owl popped up. I was a bit inspired by <a href="http://www.juliettecrane.com/">Juliette Crane</a> after looking at her owls.</div>

has had The Summer of Color (SOC) challenge for the last 4 years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I joined<a href="http://junipergoods.blogspot.com/2013/06/creative-spark.html"> last year</a>'s and really enjoyed the challenges. They kept me<a href="http://junipergoods.blogspot.com/2013/06/summer-of-color-3-hot-pink-and-orange.html"> busy</a>, creating fun different pieces of<a href="http://junipergoods.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-soc-purple-and-lime-green.html"> art</a> in the <a href="http://junipergoods.blogspot.com/2013/07/summer-of-color-pink-and-grey.html">colors </a>chosen in the<a href="http://junipergoods.blogspot.com/2013/07/last-week-of-summer-of-color.html"> challenge</a>. I joined in every weeks challenge last year in order to win some great supplies in the colors used and to get some creativity out. I didn't win last year.This year even before SOC started I won the very first random drawing! I was so excited to win because I never win these blog things. Here is what I won...</div>

These acrylic pens are very cool! The ones in the package are fine point but the ones in the mug with Kristin's cool art, are wide and super fun to use. I can't wait to play around with them some more. I used my Pentel and Sakura pens as well as colored pencil on this weeks challenge.</div>

SOC 4 came and went for me. Every week I was looking forward to the new colors and making art. But life got in the way with babies, tween's and housework there was little time for doing art. So here I am posting weeks after. </div>

I have been drawing women's faces for the past two weeks. This one I drew on mixed media paper then I decided to add a background. I glued scraps of beautiful handmade paper, book paper, watercolor twinkling H2O's scrap paper, and gelli print scraps around her, then I added tissue paper for the cheeks. I found this great embroidered paper that had specks of gold in it for her hair. On her neck I added book paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then got out my acrylic paints and painted her in and around her. She's drying now but I'm sure she needs more. For now this is what she looks like.</div>

We only have 2 more journals left and then we will have our own journals home and filled with amazing art from our fellow Flyer Artists. (we all took Kelly Rae Robert's class "Flying Lessons" together that's why were called flyers) There are several of us doing the swap. Here is the latest one I've been working on. It's Elizabeth's Journal. Cool cover isn't it?<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I went a little overboard with my Bead Soups this year making 5 in all. I have so many beads that I wanted to use, I could not stop. So needless to say, she is getting a full pot! I hope she knows she does not have to use them all, just the ones that sing to her heart. You see </span><a href="http://drcatie.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Catie</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> is a lampworker.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was my Birthday so I went on a mission! Last year I heard of this woman who gave Acts of Kindness away for her Birthday. What a great idea so I tried it out. I gathered up my jewelry pieces, some candy and made lunches in red sacks. I found this great tag for the bags that said,"You are the recipient of a RAOK (random act of kindness) "Spread love wherever you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."- Mother Teresa" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I posted on FB my mission and asked everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday to give as well. Most agreed they would. Oh yeah, spreading the Kindness!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Before I could give these things away I had to give to my most wonderful Mom who gave birth to me. Without her I would not even be alive to have a Birthday. I baked her peanut butter cookies and we went to a mixed media meetup group to visit and make art together. I also gave away some of my jewelry to my fellow artists there, they loved it! We had fun!</span><br />

Then when I was driving down the road I saw a homeless couple fighting. I pulled over and gave them two bags and water. The woman was happy but the man wasn't. I kept on my mission to find more people to give to and found a homeless man who was shaking, he had an emergency bracelet on and a country accent. I gave him two bags, two waters and granola bars. He read the paper I stapled on the bag about kindness. We talked a bit and he said he needed some juice. I told him there was apple sauce in the bag and water. He asked if there was money in the bag but I said no I'm sorry not this time. I felt so bad because I had a $10 bill in my wallet but I was supposed to deposit it into my bank account so a check would clear. I really wanted to give it to him. So, I prayed for him instead. I drove around a bit more but couldn't find anyone else. It was time to go to a Library to donate some books and attend a baby book reading group with Ruby ( our baby she's almost 4 months old now). She loved it! She was really looking at the other babies and toddlers. The teacher was so great! I met some Mom's and babies. There was a Mom and daughter sitting outside the library after the class so I gave them each a bag with candy and jewelry, waters and granola bars. The daughter was so excited and opened it up fast. She ate the chocolate, opened the tootsie roll pop and licked it then threw it in the bag and got another chocolate out to eat. Her Mom and I just laughed, then her Mom put the pop back in the wrapper. I chatted with her Mom a bit about making jewelry and my mission to give out gifts. She had never heard of Birthday Acts of Kindness but said she was turning 30 this year and was going to try it. </span><br />

I had to turn around and leave a bag on that car! As I was leaving it and taking a picture the woman who owned and created this masterpiece walked up. I talked to her and her girlfriend for a while about Sacramento and the art scene here. They were so happy to see a happy artist here because they were not having a good time in the art scene so far. I gave them two more bags with candy and jewelry. I told them about the cool tiled house down the street because it has dragons all over, like their car. They said they would check it out, I took pics of them and I went on down the road. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A friend of mine wanted me to check on something for her at our Buddhist center. This was great because I let Ruby see the Buddha's and we both got a little blessing. While there I ended up running into an Artist friend of mine and giving him a bag of candy. He was happy to see Ruby for the first time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I took three bags with me into The Co-Op, gave two to the women in the herbal section who are so kind to me. They said it would help them get through the day. I gave one bag to the best cashier ever. She also makes great clothes and bags. She said oh there's all kinds of goodies in here with a big smile. I talked to a woman who told me all of her children's names and stories of their births and a family with five children, while waiting patiently for my lunch to be made. I left a bag on the car who parked way too close. Usually I would have got upset that I had to put Ruby in from the other side but I wished them love and went on my way.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I went to another store and gave two bags to the cashier and bagger. They were so happy to get a gift and thought it was a great way to spend the day. I left a box of red liquorish on the Redbox box with a note saying, "Take this and enjoy your movie." I gave my daughters dance teachers each a bag. One had her bracelet on immediately with a big smile. I gave two to the Mom's of the dance girls. They said I never get presents and were so happy. It does make you feel happy to give Acts of Kindness. All day I tried to be patient and let others go first, I helped others as much as possible. I was a bit upset with myself for not being able to help this bind woman cross the street because I was in the car with the sleeping baby and it would have taken me too long to get to her, but I did the best I could. Overall it was a great way to spend my Birthday. I came home to a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my husband. I ate some ice cream, watched a movie and my favorite show New Girl ( it was her Birthday episode how cool!) and went to bed. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Keep on spreading Kindness everywhere you go!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's Saturday night if you can't go out to eat because you are gluten free and have no restaurants around you, who serve gluten free foods, you can make a delicious pizza at home!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I love making my own pizza anyway because I can put whatever toppings I like and as much or as little cheese as I want. I do love white sauce on my pizza but haven't come up with a good one yet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I use a pizza crust from my favorite cookbook " the Gluten Free Almond Flour cookbook" by Elana Amsterdam</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Check out the video <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-pizza-crust-video/">here</a>! In this video she has a fan of her cookbook showing you how she makes the pizza crust. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I agree with most of what she say's in the video but I add kosher salt and half the amount called for in the recipe. I also use olive oil instead of grapeseed oil because my husband say's it's bad for you and wont eat it. I usually double the recipe because it is so good we can eat a large pizza in one night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here is the recipe:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon salt (half this if you don't eat salt very often)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1/4 teaspoon baking soda</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1 Tablespoon oil</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1 large egg</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Set aside a large baking sheet. Cut two pieces of parchment paper (very important to keep these flattened out with no wrinkles especially when rolling the dough out otherwise it cracks) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients, then in the middle of this pour oil and egg mix a little alone then mix with the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined. If you want to add herbs, garlic or onion powders feel free it's to your taste, I usually add it to the tomato sauce instead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Roll dough into a ball then place between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll out into 1/8th inch thick (or if you like it thicker make it 1/4 inch) in the shape you like your pizza. I've done square, rectangle and round whatever fits your pan. It's okay if it is flatter on the outsides because I go back in and make an edge pushing the crust up towards the middle in the shape I like. The transfer the bottom parchment paper to the baking sheet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden. (very important to bake it before adding toppings, i've forgotten to bake it and I got a big pile of mush.) Remove from oven and add toppings while still warm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This is the fun part you can add whatever toppings you like! We usually do mushrooms, broccoli and cheese. This one above was our summer delight pizza with a layer of colby cheese, tomato sauce I handmade with onion, garlic, thyme, oregano and basil, red bell pepper, zucchini, olives, broccoli and another layer of cheese on top. Yummy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So have a great dinner and enjoy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Cheers,</span></div>
