AEDM Day 20

“Sktchy Book of Horror”. This is the front cover of my Homemade sketchbook.  I just have the back cover to do and it will be complete.  The reason I didn’t follow the reference image completely is I wanted to use the wonderful makeup as a guide to decorate the skull collage that I had originally used as the cover and incorporated everything for the final piece.

All I have left is the back cover.

AEDM DAY 17

Years ago I read a series of books by Alice Borchardt.  They started with “Silver Wolf.”  I loved these books and I am not sure why they weren’t made into movies. I loaned out my “Silver Wolf” and much to my dismay, I don’t remember who, and I’d like to read it again.  I guess I will have to look for another copy.

Anyway, here is my “Shapeshifter”

AEDM DAY 14

So, maybe you are wondering right now about my posts here on Facebook, after I declared a few days ago that I was disgusted with the drama on Facebook and I was leaving. In fact, I have.  I found a way to post on Facebook without accessing my newsfeed.  I have shut off my notifications.  I am still able to follow many of you back, by accessing the mutual groups we are in by a different App. I know many of you are enjoying my posts,  thanks to your responses letting me know how much you enjoy them.

I also started “It’s a Great Day in America” campaign, as my way of dealing with the negativity in our country.  I may be moving those posts to their own blog.

Today’s sketch was done at the Doctors office. I like sketching through windows.  It passed the time in the waiting room.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

It’s a great Day in America Day 3


This sketch is a repeat but it sums up what I want to say today….there is so much preoccupation with negativity in the media and social media that many times the nice things are overlooked.  People don’t post the everyday heroes.   The person that holds the door open for you.  The lady that lets you go when you are pulling out of a driveway.  The woman down by the bay who took it upon herself to take care of an injured egret.  Everyday heroes.  Let’s make it a great day by posting all the nice things that occur during your day.
