Here Kitty Kitty! A New Camcorder and Acrylic Paints

So I learned that drawing fur is hard!  Ugh, this was so much harder than the dog I did.  I'm definitely going to have to practice fur and hair more.  Those are the hardest things to make realistic looking to me.  I think I'm getting the eyes down pretty good.  My goal this week is to practice more mouths and hair. 

I went to Good Will again yesterday.  I found a mini camcorder for $6.99 and had my birthday coupon for 25% off so it came in under $6!  We had to use our own memory card but so far it looks to be working ok.  It is this exact model which I looked up online and one place is selling it for $109!!!! Can you believe that???  It has a case, carrying strap, and mini tripod. It even still had the clear film over the viewing lens!  I rock!

I also went to Hobby Lobby and got a Royal  & Langnickel acrylic paint set with 10 paints, brushes, palette and two mini canvas boards on clearance for $11.99!  This is what it looks like.  How cool was that!!!???

Now I have to learn how to paint with acrylics.  Yay!

  1. You've mentioned a couple of my favorite stores! We were at Goodwill on Sunday too! Wonder if we unknowingly crossed paths.
