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.

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.

It’sContinue reading “Inktober Day 2 – Wisp”

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”

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”
