Twelvetwelvetwelve

Well I'm here and posting - woohoo! Not much to say, been busy like I should be.

Life, work, kid, holidays, more work, etc, and blah blah blah.

As usual I'm trying to do art in between the raindrops and its been stormy!! ;0)

I sat for some time tonight to commerorate this strange, semi-pointless day of twelves.

Numbers, time, its all pretty much an illusion isn't it? hmmm..

Here are some more from that page:

I've also been trying out some papercutting. I got a book the other day and I'm still reading through it and check things out. So, I did a papercut and, boy, they are hard to do. I am using an Xacto blade and not scissors. yet.

 

I've got other things I'm doing too , mostly doodles but I'm trying to do something every day! Just got to or I'll disintegrate, I think LOL!

Linking up today with Mary today:)

have a happy week!

 

Take care,

 

 

AEDM Get Back - Nov 5

I miss my house!
I was a bit down earlier today and doodled, sketched, whatever,

this AEDM piece:

 Our 'real' house is up north and it has been months since I have been there.

I can't believe how time passes so fast. C is up there every week for work but comes down to be with us on the weekends.

I miss our rental  house more so now that we're not there. Its been seven days! OK you big mary, get over it and press on. Oh but I like to have a few minutes of the blues ;)

And to add to the crazy, I've signed on for a Pattern a Day challenge this month XD

But RIGHT AFTER I sketched this I got a call that completely made my day, week, month! A friend of mine offered to take Joe and I into their home so that he can attend school [ and I can work off my laptop there]. Her house is right around the corner from ours, yet she has all her utilities, thank goodness! So, now I can go back and forth to check in on the house and take things if I need them, etc. Closer to 'normal'!!!

I will try my best to keep the art and AEDM going. I'll do it as best I can, maybe by phone but I want to keep the challenge going!

Have a great day!

Sunday Sketch and then some

I am happy to know that there is a spot in this blogworld for Sunday Sketches:)

I discovered this while checking in on a wonderful blog by Tracy !

This is something I can manage, LOL...let's hope. I struggled with the last challenge

 (ummm, that's why they call it a challenge, Frannie...)



My Sunday Sketch

  I also have a few others that I did this weekend during my travels to the house up north as well as out east to the parents.

 BUT before I do that I have to share my mom's sketches as well. She is such a good artist and probably the main reason why I am an artist. 

These were tacked on her bulletin board...Isn't she great?:



Recipe cards she drew the fruit with her markers



Sorry Mom, this one came out blurry:)

 Mom is so creative and has set up a wonderful working area in a spare room (my old bedroom!) in the house. She paints, sketches, does origami, crafts...you name it.  She can whip anything up!



I used my favorite makers - microns- for this doodle...
Its a wonderful Buddha quote! Everyone does deserve it!

silly face

Another Pennsylvania Dutch folk art inspired sketch

Now I have to get back to an important questionnaire that I have been struggling with then to bed!

Have a great week this week and be good to yourself.
