Perfect Breakfast and other art

My AEDM and Sunday Sketch art for today
was inspired by my first meal of the day.

 I am not that strong of a breakfast eater but I try.

I like to keep it light but know I

should go heavier on the protein. 

relying alot on Instagram now that I am without a scanner for a few days



Unfortunately, I am a big fan of carbs so they typically

win out due to their ability to easily convert to sugar,

my drug of choice.

Adding more sugar (jam), plus fat (butter),

further enhances the experience.*sigh*

I've been here at my mom and dad's for seven days now,

as of tonight our house is still out of power.

Its obvious we've all got some cabin fever, boy!

You can tell by my page below:))

LOL! have to have a laugh!



Playing and journaling with stamps I made yesterday



 Oh boy, but am I ever grateful for the ability to have a place to go.  My parents are the best, for they have to put up with the bunch of us!!



trying out different patterns



The gas shortage doesn't help because we are

afraid of using the gas in our cars unwisely.

But we did manage to get out today,

my mom had gotten tickets a while back for a

performance at Stony Brook University

so we took the kids there. It was great being out.

When we left the show it was so dark

at 5:30 :(( And driving on the roads

we could still see some sections of homes were still out of power.

 A week is a long time to have no heat and electricity.

more pattern types to try, having fun with this!



These books are so helpful and informative!



 My additional photos shows the great time

I have been having carving new lino stamps and

arranging them into different patters. I love

the effects I am getting and now working

 on making up some cards.

this book is AMAZING and definatly going on my Christmas list!

Hope everyone has a terrific week , I am

back to work completely full time tomorrow. 

One more step towards normalcy! Yay!

Take care 

AEDM DAY 2

Busy day today, lots of worked backed up since we've gotten back online.

But good thing its Friday :) I like having a one-day work week frankly.



Linocut

 

Watching the news just makes me so thankful that we were spared

from so much that the hurricane brought to others.



It still didn't keep me from getting frustrated with quite of few things today but makes me realize I have to just relax, some things are just not worth the stress and worry.

So I think my art for today speaks for itself.

Typically, I run on the seat of my pants [due to my ADD] but I was thinking of this all day. It didn't turn out exactly as I had planned but I'm happy with how it looks.



 Well the utility company LIPA says that our power will be back up on November 7.



It looks like that will happen as everyones is coming back up slowly. We'll see...thank goodness for my generous parents!





See you tomorrow for another day of AEDM art. Have a great weekend!





Be You

ICAD #11

I got back from my meeting tonight so late.

While driving home I realize how silly I am with my pronouncements sometimes:)

Fresh off of announcing I'll be doing acrylics this week, here I am with a stamped index card.

Too much to do today and no time for opening paints and spreading out. Ce la vie.

There were a few comments about my Sunday Sketch.

 I got that Brush Tub at Blicks for about $7 or $8. 

I think they carry it at Pearl as well.

 I don't remember seeing it at Michaels but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

Well Monday is over, just Tues and Wed to get on with. Then I can deal till Monday.

Good night:)

stamp binge

I found a terrific blog called Elvie Studio and the artwork is wonderful! There is a little video on the side bar about cutting a lino. I like it so much so that it inspired me to dig out some Speedball lino/pink rubber out and start working! Its been a while and I forgot how much I love linocutting. A great reminder:)
