Estate Sale pics

Had a really fun day with Dad and @LindenAsh at the Estate sale. Basically the house was built around the Civil War, and has belonged to the same family up until a month ago when the last family member died. We got there around 11:30 and the line was stretched back out a ways. They were only letting around 60 people at a time inside, to keep from getting overcrowded. When someone ...

today’s art, Ariel

today's princess is Ariel! I'm so close to being caught up and out of drawings... it sucks! I only have 2 more to post. I drew a lot last night, so over this weekend I'm hoping to get a little bit of padding in there. (doing this while trying to sew, too, I want to finish my skirt this weekend.) Dad, Ash and I are supposed to be going to an ...

The Lightning Thief

As I posted before, last weekend we went to see The Lightning Thief. Ash loaned me her copy of the first book to read, and I finished it today. I would have ADORED this book as a kid. I would have totally been into it - probably would have been playing "Olympians" with my cousins after school and drawing Percy, Annabeth and Grover all over my notebooks. It was a ...

Seize the Clay

Today was Cat's birthday so we all went to Seize the Clay. It was a lot of fun. The highlight was Cat's Stank-Eyed Cinderella. (After I took this pic she scraped one of the eyeballs off and redid them to be more even LOL)

Another Snow Day! and Cinderella art

Weather was predicting rain & light flurries at most. But we got up this morning and had 6 inches of snow! I had to go in to work for about 3 hours, but then go to come home and Chase and I made a snowman. And today's princess is Cinderella.

Testing, 1, 2, 3

This is a test post. As you can see below, Blogger is getting rid of the kind of blog I use - so this is my new wordpress blog. It's pretty bare bones at the moment, I'm still working on it.

a random thought

The nastiest "critique" I've ever gotten in regards to my artwork was this: "Real artists use a ruler, why can't you?" It was in the middle of a very long, very unasked-for and very "holier-than-thou" critique, but that one line has been the part of it that stuck with me. The thing is, for that particular project? I actually HAD used a ruler.

Cleaning and Exploring

Weekend was nice and laid back. New Year's Eve I was off work. Chase had to go shoot the game. I stayed home, and I think got a little sick? Seemed like I was fighting off a cold or something. I laid on the couch most of the day and drew a little bit. New Year's was lame, probably the lamest New Year's Eve we've ever had and that's saying ...
