AEDM Day 9 – It’s all about Process

Since I committed to doing a post a day for ART EVERY DAY MONTH, I am posting this, although much of today was doing research and sketches for a map I am working on and there is nothing sexy about a page full of lists. I won’t bore you with that. Plus, you’ll see theContinue reading “AEDM Day 9 – It’s all about Process”

AEDM Days 6 & 7/Commissions

For the past few days I have been working on holiday stuff. I forgot to post yesterday but creating can be intense work. I was thinking on making some cards this year instead of printing them even though I have had my design done since the beginning of the year. We’ll see. I may cutContinue reading “AEDM Days 6 & 7/Commissions”

Inktober Day 18 – Marty

Going rogue today and using my morning blob sketched with ink as my Inktober for the day….I had an assignment to describe a character in 25 words or less and although I had a different one already to go, this guy was very pushy and demanded a chance to be developed. The dragon is outContinue reading “Inktober Day 18 – Marty”

Sad news

This morning we had to make one of the most difficult and painful decisions that a one has to make when living with fur children. This is very difficult to write but I won’t be able to write this later when reality sets in. Cleopatra, our foundling kitty, the kitty that was inserted into manyContinue reading “Sad news”

Black Cat Appreciation Day

Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day. Cleopatra is our black kitty that we found, literally, on the street. Or she found us. She ran right up to me and was “no bigger than a bowtruckle.” Cleo lives with my daughter in a nice house in Orlando. Cleo has been the inspiration for lots of myContinue reading “Black Cat Appreciation Day”

My head is popping with ideas. One assignment was to animate some collage pieces…..this is a very shortContinue reading “A little video….”

Paisley project

I am taking a portfolio building class that I actually signed up for the end of last year… it runs from March to June…May’s assignment was to create a square shaped paisley design. I started this project in several steps and I approached using Zentangle patterns. I really enjoy doing Zentangle shapes. They are veryContinue reading “Paisley project”

My West Side Story project

I signed up for a bundled group of workshops back in November, before John was laid off, that were running this year. They are for building my on line portfolio. April’s assignment was West Side Story. I actually found this assignment to be a lot of fun, however, a lot of work. It was doneContinue reading “My West Side Story project”

Last but not least….

Here are the last three doggies of the book. It was a wonderful project and I truly enjoyed it so much that I am looking for another tiny project. Though I am looking to get or make books where the pages don’t chop my image in half. The PAGE size was 2.33 x 1.66 andContinue reading “Last but not least….”
