Yes fall is here. The sky is gray - blue. The air is chilled. And the front yard is being covered in leaves. And I am thinking hot chocolate! What a wonderful time of the year!
My inchie is the very famous Charlotte the spider spinning her web to help Wilbur. I love that book. Reading to children is probably one of the things I miss the most. I love to read children's books. I use all sorts of voices and drama and really get into it. I had a child tell me once when I had been absent that even though the sub had read the book I had left, they wanted me to go back and read it again so they could "see" the characters. Maybe I will record my very favorite Christmas tale and share it on here - we will see.
The 3D object to fill was a cylinder. Joey asked that we use Diva Dance on our work. I kept mine simple.
Diva's challenge was Hallow/Fall. I decided on a pumpkin which covers both. It also served as the last prompt for INKtober days.
And last a couple of coloring pages I had completed this past week.
One more thing, I did a comparison of blending with colored pencils. This might come in handy if you use them in your work. I tried the four methods I have available with both my prismas and the polychromos. I don't really have a favorite, it is just handy to have what they look like.
Thank you for dropping by! I love your comments. They are my sunshine! Hugs!
Charlotte the spider is a lovely book - as your work is lovely!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, love your tiles! The fairy you colored is beautiful...and I love fairies, think they are so pretty.

I really like your literary reference and yes, reading is a skill. I love audio books as I they allow me to listen whilst keeping my hands and eyes free to engage in other exploits...I often have my iPod earbuds in place while I get on with my day...I like your pencil blending comparisons...I like gamsol best when I want a very smooth finish as I get more consistent results, but also like to simply blend with the pencils I am using in order to improve my colouring skills...I often wish gamsol had been around when I was in kindergarten...Dxx
ReplyDeleteI like your Joey tile.
ReplyDeleteI love the leaves, I will show them to my daughter as she would find it useful in her art. I love the inchie, even though I have never read the book
ReplyDeleteWell, I like them all! The Diva tile is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Your some pig tile brings back lovely memories! Thank you!
