I Love Sketches!


Over at PATCH by Design, we are preparing for our Pumpkin PATCH Fall Classic Horse Show and Art/Learning Exhibit!  This is a really fun time for the kids in my therapeutic horsemanship program. It is a special event where they get to show their horsemanship skills in riding and in-hand classes.  This year I added a special class called In-Hand Freestyle.  In this class they get to choose a song and do an improv freestyle with a miniature horse.  

They are all excited choosing their music, costumes, props and elements for the class.  I decided to commemorate the class I would make canvas wall hangings of each of the nine students with their horse and song title to exhibit at the art show and then give them to the families at the banquet.  

Thank goodness for the sketch challenge at Stuck? Sketches!   This gave me an idea for this piece.  

The retired printed papers are all from CTMH.  I embellished with cuts from Cricut Old West and Country Life (the 'HAPPY' banner.  Other banners and circle were cut from CTMH Art Philosophy.   Other embellishments include:  CTMH Ruby Washi Tape, CTMH Studs, CTMH Mocha Gems, embossing powder, Darice Hemp Cord, and homemade glimmer mist.  The canvas is from Michaels.  

Well, only 7 more to go......  Off to find more sketches and ideas!

All CTMH is from Katiescorner.  The stamp of the month for October is really cute and there is a ribbon deal going on at CTMH!
