I was sorting through some computer art files recently and rediscovered some art I made when I got Carla Sonheim's Drawing Lab book at least two years ago. She has a chapter in it called Imaginary Creatures. Out of paint blots and marks, these creatures appeared.

Maybe I should name them. What do you think? Thanks for dropping in.....................................Jo

Shhhhh

Shhh. I'm making a birthday card for my fairy godmother. It's not done yet so if she reads my blog post she'll get to see it in progress and know that it will be late getting to her.

Recycled cereal/snack/cracker boxes and baby wipes.......... Yes, the baby wipes I ironed one night while watching a Netflix movie. I saw a container with flowers on this so that's what I turned it in to, and having just come from running an errand where the fall foliage is in its peak, I tried to bring those colors home.

I drew and painted a leaf.

And here's another page in The SMASH BOOK OVERHAUL.

And lastly, my folders in my WHAT'S ON MY ART TABLE NOW have met each other. Duh. What does that mean? A year ago today this is what I was working on.

and this

Some of these pages still look like this. lol! But I've done a lot of art in between all those pages. It's a good day! I'm so happy to be not at work today. And my twin brother bought this from my me

I don't think I got it right with the above but here's hoping I got it right now If you haven't yet checked out my shop, please do. Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for visiting........................jo

Smash Book -Esprit

I took a French newspaper fashion page and glued it on as a background. I was still into 'faces' mode so sketched in the face on top of the model. I like how the face of the model is visible through the face that I drew. I like how this page turned out.

Thanks for stopping in.............................................jo

Brother John got a kick out of the mail art I showed you on the last post. I posted on his FB page. I told him when he actually got it in the mail he could show it to his "force." Maybe they'd keep him on or maybe they wouldn't. In the meantime, here's a few more faces I've been doing in the mornings. I am beginning to think they're looking the same, but then I think they all seem to take on different personalities. I think it's time to get out my mini, somewhat flexible wooden model and add bodies to the faces.

Hope everyone doing ok. Thanks for visiting..................jo
