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,

 I'm struggling with the fact that I am unable to find a certain style. Why do I feel as if my work should look more or less similar? I think its because I feel like if someone were to look at my work they should know right away that its mine. But when it comes to creating, I've got  multiple personalities! I wonder if anyone else feels this way . I am also wondering if anyone feels the opposite? If they only create in one particular style, do they wish they were able to create other styles? hmmm. Its a slow Saturday because I was up late, manic, cleaning my kitchen. That's me:) all or nothin' LOL! Have a great day!





I'm here, I'm here!

LOL! I have been busy but I am being creative! I wish I can get on the blogs more but work is so hectic this time of year. I am lucky enough to telecommute but I get nothing done! I have been able to squeeze something in the past few days.

I was lucky enough to get some calendar orders, yay! So i decied to typeset the months to give them a more polished look. I used a different typeface for each month. It felt like the righ thing to do. So I'll be using alot of my twine to pack these sets up:)

I'm also managing to do a little doodling here and there. Mostly during conference calls because its alot of listening. I listen better when I sketch and draw, don't know why but it works for me. As you can see I have the holidays on the brain, and who doesn't? I hate to admit this but I still have alot more to do. Thankfully I have a whole lot of free time on Saturday. That is when I finish up. I try not to stress, everything will be okay in the end :)

I did this painting a week or so ago and put it to the side in frustration and guess what? I discovered this going through my pile last night, picked it up and fell in love. Go figure. I bet this happens to alot of people..So I am calling this one "Discoveries" Hope everyone is having a great day and having fun along the way.

New work!

Here is some work that I did at Red Bow.This was a terrific class, Patricia had us journal our week. I jumped right in!

that shiny red tape adds alot of pop!

This weekend I was looking for some old halloween decorations (and I mean old, I'll have to post them) and I came across a huge Arches watercolor block that I had. I remember this paper frustrating me so much and deciding to just putting it away a few years ago. Well time changes things. I have to say I have come around and am really enjoying this hot pressed paper.

Below are some leaves that I found leaving Oyster Bay this weekend, there are some imaginary ones as well. I am glad I picked the red background. At first I wasn't sure but I'm happy with that and like the touch of orange as well. Its not big, 2.5"x 3.5", ACEO size:

The one that got me started:

same style, so much fun to do!:

My all-time favorite doodle:

Some more fun:

I think purple and green are terrific together :

I've got to remember to stop by Cathy's shop and tell her "My chrysanthemum stones are working!" LOL!
