Sorry I didn’t post this yesterday.  I posted it to Sktchy last night then I went on a technology break.  I usually work in my studio until 11PM and last night I had to take a break. I got a lot accomplished yesterday so it was well deserved.  I fired this sketch off to Sktchy then I actually sat down to watch “The Santa Clause.”

I have watched this movie and “Polar Express” countless times.  I never get tired of them.  They bring the magic of Christmas back for me even though I have been an adult for a long time.  So I sketched this and called it a night so I could actually sit and watch TV with my feet up. (I also like the “Muppets Christmas Carol.”  It cracks me up.)

I am trying to fill up this sketch book with Sktchy drawings before New Year’s Eve.

Here are two:

“Elf Management”

“Elf-ette” 

This evening I attended a Book Arts Class.  It was a fun and I learned some new approaches. The instructor was also a librarian, so it made it nice to be in the company of people who also love books.  I also had the pleasure of meeting, in person, people who follow me on social media. 

Someone asked me how many sketchbooks I have completed….the answer is over 40.  I have at least 8 of various sizes and paper types that I work in regularly and are currently in different stage of completion.  I frequently go back and pull one off the shelf to use for a reference.

Here is the sketch (Sktchy) I did today and the little long stitch book I made.
