EDM #301 Something Cute !

I haven't been on track with doing any Challenges in quite some time--

today when I saw the "Something Cute" theme I immediately wanted

to do the book that was sitting in front of me. I had just found it

hidden away and was happy to randomly pick a page to read and as

always a smile spread on my face just like on the spine of the book

Published in 1990 it is truly a book I will not find a new home for..

it's going to be fun to see what others do for this challenge!

The Rose Light

The close up of the rose was the main reason for posting

something "lovely this ways comes" this am.

I was stopped dead in my tracks with the way the light

hit the hallway angel holding the frayed rose.
Yes, I did move part of the fence that was

replaced into the hallway..and love the look of

"outside in"

each day holds these breath catching

moments, weather it be how the coffee

looks being stirred or the

telephone cord twist on the

crystal handle of the magnifier..

I often see floral works that

I feel in my own heart, would do

well to introduce the beautiful

light patterns---not always possible, I know--

for after all, you're in this place but once and here's

a flower shot with no shadows---

grab it anyway--it'll always have a story in your heart.

On The To Do List

I have been putting work on my flickr site
which you can get to by clicking on the upper left
area where it says to.....and neglecting
this one---
Here is a new journal page done with pencil,
Pitt Pens and watercolor pencils.
I sketched it at the table where it was
set up in top of a large sketch book...
then photo'd it to refer to, if needed, in
by the computer where I do my work of this type.
If you don't know who Wallace of Wallace and Gromet
claymation fame DVDs etc--well you've missed
some special presentations...all
the characters are marvelous and
quickly become great friends you love to visit.
You can Google them...

SCARYCROW CIRCA 1990

19 so 20 years later... I make a 5 by 7 of sketch Christopher's

scarecrow he made to sit on

the picnic bench out front for Halloween..

and leave it a colored pencil sketch as it just

says scary to me--more than a horrible

monster would--

Hot and Cold

My icy cold water with

cool lemon slice is in extreme

contrast to my yellow VW out

there in 98 hell degrees !

"Whole Wheat Muffins and Vogue"

I couldn't find and whole wheat

round breads in the freezer,

so I grabbed English Muffins that were...

With sprinkles of seasonings and

drizzled honey they go so well

with the latest issue of Vogue

which is like picking up a dream suitcase

loaded with all sorts of delights..

My first inklings of a career in

'art' were for fashion illustration

and that whole world--and I have

never lost this love of all the trappings,

materials and endless possibilities of

design that the ages have created and

I can only hope that the future is not going to be

everyone wears jumpsuits with

a vee embellishment !
