The prompt for today is “discover.” Lucy and Mack have “discovered” live Halloween decorations. Carved pumpkins seem to attract all sorts of creatures. When we lived up North. the local squirrels would eat the Jack O’Lantern every year. They would also eat the uncarved pumpkins, too. Here in Florida, we found out the hard wayContinue reading “Inktober Day 2”

Inktober 2024 Day 1
So much to do and so little time. I debated on whether or not I wanted to do Inktober this year. I also debated what I wanted to draw. Did I want to follow the suggested prompts, do my own thing or follow other lists. Or just pick and choose daily from various lists. DidContinue reading “Inktober 2024 Day 1”
That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…
It’s GROUNDHOG DAY! Groundhog Day was always one of those days that you acknowledged but didn’t make much of a fuss about, (unless winter has been an especially cold and snowy one…) until the movie “Groundhog Day” came out. I fell in love with the movie immediately. We even had a VHS version, then aContinue reading “That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…”
Friday the 13th
Today is Friday the 13th and I decided to play around with my Arteza brush pens. I used a sketchbook made out of the Arches Text Wove paper which can be a little temperamental for using the brush pens. Black cats are not bad luck so I thought this kitty would be purrfect for today….
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! The day is finally here. Just when you think you won’t get everything finished on time, it all falls in place. Played with the brush markers this morning and decided to do a tree. It feels good to play with the materials for the fun of it. It’s not perfect, but trees areContinue reading “Merry Christmas”
Simple Wreath
Today I made two loaves of cranberry bread, a holiday cake, carved my stamp, did chores, and made a lasagna for tomorrow evening. John made his sauce, I added the ground sausage after it was finished for the lasagna. I finally sat down to do my holiday sketch and with a tad of holiday stress,Continue reading “Simple Wreath”
Witch
The fourth prompt is “witch” and it happens to be one of my favorites. Usually for Inktober, I work on my “Little Witch” series, which started back in 2018 as a desperate need to find ideas for postcards to mail to my mom. (Mom was placed in Assisted Living back in 2018 for memory care.Continue reading “Witch”
Haunted
I am still trailing the other October lists for now. As I write this, I have one of the Hallmark channels on TV to help with the holiday transition, even though I don’t want to transition yet. I’d love to wallow some more in post-Halloween, pre-Thanksgiving vibes and enjoy November for November. It’s hard toContinue reading “Haunted”
Inktober Day 29 -shoes
I spent the entire day on a project so I am barely getting this one done. My mom always loved to dress as a witch on Halloween so I made her witch shoes.
Inktober Day 28 – Float
My Inktober sketchbook is finally full. I started with the Little Witch Series back in 2018 and used that sketchbook only for the Little Witch drawings. Now that it’s full, I have moved over to my Innovative Journaling Halloween Journal, which is appropriate. This journal is perfect for my Little Witch series and yes, thoseContinue reading “Inktober Day 28 – Float”
