So Beautiful

This is a dance by Melissa and Ade from So You Think You Can Dance; it’s a breast cancer tribute, and it is just beautiful.
Update: unfortunately, it’s been removed from Youtube. But it’s beautiful, and I am very sure you will see it around. Word is, it might even be an Emmy moment!

Just signed up for Wreck This Journal!

How could I resist? I have this book – I purchased it last year, and it’s been sitting on my shelf just looking at me since then. (A lot of art-related things I buy do this. They look at me, not quite accusingly but kind of like, “aren’t you going to put me to [...]

Perfect inspiration. And I noticed she uses two types of pens – fine line and thick line.

But then I [...]

Desert Mandala (AEDM)

Our Big Draw Drawing for Today

This afternoon Dylan and I took a good look at this gel pen carousel I bought at Costco a few weeks ago:

Gel pens from Costco

And next thing you know, we were working away together on this picture which we’ve decided would be our Big Draw picture for the day. We worked in a humungous sketch [...]

Today’s Happenings; The Big Draw

I’ve been sitting here thinking about how blessed life can be. Always a wonderful feeling with which to end the day.
Tonight I finally got around to doing something I’ve been procrastinating for a while – and it’s left me wondering, why on earth was I procrastinating?
We buy a lot of cookbooks around here. My husband [...]

Here I go again, cramming everything into one post. I mentioned in my previous post that we went to Aberfoyle Junction on the weekend, and as usual, we took a lot of pictures. Dylan wanted me to post some here, so here they are:

As you can probably see, the detail is simply amazing. I didn’t [...]
