Day 321 - Made by Joey challenge - xplode

  A rather nondescript tile.  My heart is just not with it today.

Have a great day and I hope it is one filled with blessings.

Day 320 - Every Inchie Monday, Exotic

     Oh my!  exotic what???  My brother's suggestion was an exotic car.  In an inch?  Don't think so.  Then I risked googling the word - considering all the things that could be exotic it was a risk.  But there I saw some gorgeous flowers, animals, and locations.  One caught my eye and made me think it could be within my ability. 
     On a piece of paper about 1.5 inches big I painted the background with watercolor.  Then after it dried I pulled out my gel pens and drew in the sunset - way too bold.  So I took my finger and smeared it around - perfect for what I wanted.  I then did the same with the reflection on the water.  Last I drew in the island and palms.  You can't see it, but I am sitting right there on that beach and my little beach house is just behind those trees.  Ahh  . . . don't I wish.
     When everything was good and dry, I take my inchie frame and move it around til I have the space that I like the best. 

      Thank you for visiting on my little island.  Pull up a beach chair, grab something cold and stay awhile.  You may not want to leave!

Day 319 - Paradox

     What a beautiful day it is today!  Blue sky, crunchy leaves!  Autumn perfect!  I loved the Square One challenge to play with paradox.  It is one of my absolute favorite tangles.  Many (lots of manys!) years ago, when I was in high school and taking a drafting class they sponsored a drawing contest - more mechanical type things.  I chose to do a page of a drawing called Huddy's Doodle.  Or as we now call it paradox.  It was a grueling exercise, because each line had to be measured and done with a ruler (a tool I rarely use).  I have no idea how many times I started over!  But I did win the contest. 

     Thank you for dropping by and I hope you are having a wonderful day.  Mine is considerable better than yesterday, (smile).
    

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 318 - Diane Clancy's challenge

     For this alphabet challenge I chose to use kollide, hekzee, and unyun.  I had to use hekzee since I had it confused with another one earlier in the week and didn't get to use it. 

   It has been a disaster of a day.  It started out wrong and got no better.  But on the upswing it is Friday and I have plans to zen out all afternoon.  Maybe all weekend.  Thanks for coming by. 

Day 317 - W2

    I struggle with the over under type tangles.  I have no idea why.  And it does seem I am getting a bit better.  A bit.  Here is my tangle for Made by Joey.

     Off to finish my grading - yuck! 

Day 316 - Adele Bruno String Challenge

    This week is wild!  I have so much to do I will never finish it all.  Okay.  Slow up.  Breathe and grab some zen!  For Adele Bruno's string challenge we had to use the tangles ahh, accrosstick, and afterglow.

I hope you are having a great day and thank you for dropping by.

Day 315 - Diva Challenge

What a day this has been!  I needed a tiny bit of "simple".  Here is my tile for the Diva's "small taste" challenge.  I put this onto the first page of my new sketch book.  Later on I may add quotes either inside it or around the outside.

Thank you for dropping by!  Have a great day!
