Still January

Lets try blogging by iPhone shall we? Wheeeee! I just spent a good amount of time scanning and find Blogger won't let me upload photos! So here are images from my phone I'll post. I am sorry that they are such lousy quality ;)

UPDATE: Thank you Mary for showing me the way - the HTML way to get my photos on my post!

I love love love chapter 9 in the Tao Te Ching. I have a copy of it on my wall. Here it is below with some of my favorite bowls.

 I rarely bake cupcakes, this just came out of my head after I spied those pastel-colored paper cupcake sleeves in the back of the cabinet. I thought, hmmm, maybe I should get some cake mix and bake some cupcakes. Hmmm, maybe not. Drawing them is a better idea.

This one started off as ran dom sections of color but after working on it I see it as a landscape:) I'm calling it the River's Wall. 

 

Some doodling on a blank card while on a loooong phone call with my baby sister:

Enjoy your day!

 

Completely Caffinated

What can I say? love this stuff.

I'm not even a snob, I like good coffee but I'll drink anything.

My favorite is a red eye-regular coffee with a shot of espresso.

But I try not to do that too often as I can become a little unbearable and jumpy. 

I mostly drink that if I'm super tired.

 

 

Look, I'm posting my sketch  as well!

I sketched this out of copy paper then transferred it to my watercolor book,

which is something I hardly ever do.

I usually just wing it, which brings me mild success.

I know I'd be better off if I planned well

but my brain doesn't work that way. Maybe I need more coffee ;)

 

Have a good day!

.: never forget :.

 

 

ICAD #? who's counting

I posted last night because I thought I had to go updstate today but it ended up I didn't have to ake the trip. So I'm having more time than I thought I would today. yay!

As for the ICAD, I have stopped keeping track. I'm so far behind its pointless...LOL. But I just love this challenge and can't stop:)

I wanted to try out a card that is related to another challeng and that would be Inspiration Avenue's teapot challenge. I am a HUGE coffee drinker but do drink tea occasionally. I like the idea of all the 'accessories' that involve tea, the pots, the spoons, the tea balls, the cozies, etc etc. I also like the different shapes of the pots and cups. And they are so fun to draw.

The index card I made shows pot and cup shapes  I saw on Pinterest.

Damn that Pinterest is like a vortex, its so hard to get out of there!

Thank goodness its cooler today but we've still managed to keep ourselves holed up today since we've been doing that for the past 4-5 days now, tomorrow I'll get myself out of the house:)

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
