A Thanksgiving Psalm

On your feet now - applaud God!
Bring a gift of laughter, 
sing yourselves in His presence.

Know this: God is God, and God, God.
He made us; we didn't make Him.
We're his people, his well-tended sheep.

Enter with the password:  "Thank you!"
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank Him, Worship Him.

For God is sheer beauty, 
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.
Psalm 100  The Message

Friends Gather Here ~ eye painting help

I've been asked many times how 
I do Annie's eyes ~ hope this helps
~
first I use a button to draw two perfect circles
then paint the circles (eyes) with Gesso
 I use acrylic paint for Annie's eye color
then give her eyes highlights using white paint
when dry I place the black pupil (using end of a brush)
and with a stylus the white accent
I stitch her eye lashes and 
outline her eyes with Prismacolor pencils
~
my newest Annie is in autumn colors
she has a hand stitched heart ornie
to match her dress ~
even a tiny burgundy dragonfly
~
busy watching my grandchildren
even having a sleepover this Friday
 hope to have a chance 
to work in the factory on Saturday
if I am not too exhausted   :)
~
God is good, He is good all the time!
Thanking Him for my family.
