Fall Bounty


This spread is done in my favorite small
Moleskine 3 1/2" by 51/2" size....I don't
like usuing any other kind of paper
as this seems to take alot of abuse
and the watercolor pencils work well
on it. Everytime I do a journal sketch
I never know exactly what I will do
---but just keep plugging away till I like it.
Last week, as I drove to the grocery
store, their massive display of pumpkins
caught my eye, because it just seemed
like way too many and nobody was
around them--this spread shows just
some---the girl in the now popular
tight low rider jeans I had photo'd
earlier in the week down there,
so I thought she'd
fill the space with interest...
..and, why not add some black crows
I like to use alot and the memo on
making pumpkin Woopie Pies
this year--let's hope they turn out
right---I will make the cakes
tomorrow to try to be ahead of the game.
Don't forget to left click on the photo
to see it larger.

Nice journal page. I must admit the pumpkin whoopie pies have peaked my interest. I guess I will have to come to your house trick-or-treating. My costume...a teenage girl in low rider jeans, a tank top that reveals my pierced belly button, and hair of assort freakish colors...be on the look out for me.

Okay, I'll bite. What the heck are whoopie pies? You've made a great page here. I like how you fill them up. You make really nice compostions out of something.

Woopie Pies are usually chocolate cakey rounds , piled high with fluffy white filling inbetween. They are a New England heritage type splurge of calories...I allow myself one a year...think of Devil Dogs that aren't dry---with each locale thinking they make the best ones! EJM

Oh I love wicked good whoopies but Maple is my Fav - and yet another great sketch, so you use the moleskine sketchbooks not their WC books, I like the sketch books but the paper is so buff, I want White! Love your pages!
