You are not going to believe how amazingly beautiful the new angels turned out that Demdaco made from my artwork. I am so very grateful to be working with a company with such high standards.
As I’m opening the boxes, it sounds like I’m just seeing them for the first time. Well…it kind of is??? I actually saw them in Atlanta but I didn’t look real closely as there were too many people around and I had to capture a couple snap shots quickly. I didn’t even read the writing on them! You have to understand….when I’m at the Atlanta Gift Mart, I’m on sensory overload. The show is three buildings, approximately 20 floors each. I’m not sure how many showrooms are on each floor but let me just say….a ton! There’s so much to do and so much to see in the two days I’m there, it is seriously overwhelming!
So, this is the first time I’m getting a close look at them and actually seeing the differences between each one AND reading the engraved quotes. I hope you enjoy watching the Demdaco unboxing as much as I enjoyed doing it for you.
These angels are shipping to your local gift shop starting in January 2017, so go check it out or call first to see if they have them. Please support your local gift shops…..without our support they won’t survive!
Blessings,

In late 2016 I finally started an art journal….well, actually two of them. The first one I picked up at the store and the paper is not of good quality so I purchased another one with thicker watercolor paper. Anyhoo, I’m really enjoying working in these journals! It’s the perfect place to experiment, play, let loose and just be messy! Hopefully as I “play” in these journals, I will embark on new techniques by using new products and unleash creativity I never knew was there.
“Flower Girl” was an amazing experiment. I had never painted flowers in a girls hair before but I loved the process. I had also just gotten some new W & N inks and tried them out for the first time. I painted this art journal page for my Kogut Studio Uncut members so they can create their own. If you’d like to join me in my studio each week via raw, unscripted, uncut videos, check out Kogut Studio Uncut. Come paint with me!
Enjoy this speed painting video of “Flower Girl”.
Blessings,
Teresa

Did you see my newest collaboration with Park Designs??? “Cedar Hill” was released this fall. It’s really beautiful! Perfect colors for my home.
I’m thinking about giving away the runner the first of the year over at my Facebook page.
Let me know your thoughts!

Ridgely Johnson on July 19 – Midnight Flight (part 2) “Love the colors… Your shared stories … Wished I could bee-bop over and hang around … You know — keep you in clean water-make sure you have on your apron, and catch a few up close moments watching you paint!?

I can’t believe it’s over!!!!! This is THE LAST sketch in the 365 day challenge. Mid way through I thought “oh my heaven’s, how can I keep going?” But I must say now that it’s over, it kinda freaks me out how fast the year went!!!!!
It’s been an entire year of sketches, at times it was a struggle to wait for inspiration….and sometimes I just closed my sketch book and double up the next day. I can remember like it was yesterday making the commitment to this challenge. Wow, time flies, y’all! Do a challenge such as this and you’ll really see what I mean.
Thanks for following along. Hope you enjoyed it. I now have enough sketches in my arsenal to paint to my hearts content.
God Bless,
Teresa
