December is such a busy month and I scratch my head when art challenges pop up for December. Especially when the list hits right before the start date so that you can’t prepare ahead of time. It almost seems sadistic. Getting off my soapbox….Shannon McNab’s “Daily Sketch Challenge” prompts for December are very helpful andContinue reading “It’s December….Again”

Absence
Absence You were the last thing we wanted You came to us on a warm summer evening Tiny and sick dark as the night We took you in and you grew on us You thought you were a chihuahua You ingratiated yourself into our hearts Soft and silky svelte and lanky A queen in yourContinue reading “Absence”
Little Witch (on the side)
I did work a little on my little witch series while doing the “TheyDrawtober Challenge.” The food challenge took up more time than expected, and I wound up doing that challenge on Procreate and as you can see from last month’s posts. In the meantime, monsters, witches and other beasties were sidelined. I have beenContinue reading “Little Witch (on the side)”
Moon And Stars Kittie
This is another pattern that I created on my IPad from the sketch I did for the other stuffed kitty. I changed the kitty to have a hat and swapped the pumpkin for a moon. However, I had to changed some things on the fly and and I still may have to tweak the nextContinue reading “Moon And Stars Kittie”
Day off from Friendly Faces
There is no Friendly Faces prompt for Sundays but I have been working on a side project in between everything else. I made this sketchbook from felt and I stitched it together yesterday. I have been learning some new and really cool bookbinding techniques and I love this stitch much better than the long stitch.
Friendly Faces Day 21
Today’s prompt is “curious” and we all know why cats have 9 lives….
Love gives you wings
These creatures came from sketches done in my morning pages. They started out as a random shape, that I move around until I find something I can work with in that shape, and then pull a creature out of it. Wally the owl is obsessed with hearts and loves Valentine’s Day. He loves hearts decoratedContinue reading “Love gives you wings”
Happy Valentine’s Day
I have been working on a few Valentine’s Day projects. One of those projects was felt patterns I found by Alison Kaplan. I used to love to cross stitch and I had made so many things with cross stitch when I was in my 20’s. I still hang my hand stitched ornaments on my ChristmasContinue reading “Happy Valentine’s Day”
Christmas Art Countdown Day 14
The prompt is “sing” and every time I see the word “sing,” I think of the New Year’s Eve performance of My Chemical Romance. Maybe we all need to sing, for the WHOLE WORLD. Sing it from the heart, sing for the planet, sing for all species, sing for the whales and the manatees, singContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown Day 14”
Inktober Day 23 – RIP
I don’t know if this prompt was RIP or rip but I took it as RIP. Also, I confirmed with my sister that my mom is receiving these. I am glad because I was a little worried that she wasn’t getting them because of the lockdown in her facility. I think the image needs noContinue reading “Inktober Day 23 – RIP”
