This is #11 in my series.  Going slower than expected but at least it's still going. The trouble with me is I can't work on more than two things at one time.  I wish I could have 10 things on the go.

Well today I have a few things to share so let's get to it

The first one is a canvas done with a different technique I am going to try

 I am liking working 6x6 for the project

not to big or small just right

making beef enchiladas for dinner

what's with the weather, cold, warm, cold 

only thing I bought yesterday was a new summer sweater

its it the way you have money to burn and you cant find anything you like

when you have no money in your pocket you can find a million things

okay you have suffered enough reading this crap

go out and enjoy your spring

Coat of Armour

 

I entered this into Illustration Friday the theme this week
is Warrior, since I was creating these 100 I thought why
not so this is what I came up with.  First the horse is
to small for the warrior.  His coat of armour suit,
looks like it would not hold up to one dust up with the
other warriors.  And lets not get into his body
he needs some exercise before he should be
allowed to fight.  Plus coat of armour is silver.  But
I didn't have any, so black it is.  I call this
Man in Black (Johnny cash would be rolling in his grave)
lee

PS the little dots on the armour is suppose to be mesh

 Title:  The egg seller

  it seems the background is competing with the drawings I tried
to tone it down.  Hopefully as I do more they will get better.
The shopper is coming over later today to sew .  We are making
burp cloths, the quilt is made.  These are for a baby gift for her friend.  The friend is due when she is away in new York so she wants to have them all ready to give to
her before she goes.

 So
here are some great links that I found this week

Its all about foreign lands

 

You know how I said you would not have to suffer through all my 100 art works (that is if I get to a 100) well I changed my mind, because they are all going to

be different, again changed my mind, no theme, its whatever I want to create.

I breaking all the rules baby, but still the same size 6x6 not to big, not to small just right (just like goldilocks).  Today was lunch with the neighbour, tonight was all about rocking the leftovers (I hate leftovers lucky the hubster will eat anything). 

Thinking about cooking a ham on Sunday for Easter everyone else I know

is cooking a turkey, but we have not had Ham in along time.  Do you

like scalloped potatoes, I am cooking those as well.  What are you cooking for easter.

Just Tugging along

 

Well this is no 1 of the 100 creative art project.

so far this is what I have done

 

made 100 6x6 scrapbook pages (2 glued together for strength)

and a old medical book page to all of them

gessoed each one

painted 5 to start

and made 2 so far completed

(the other one tomorrow)

 

this project was going to be all about structures it took

me forever to decide that.  After I made the first two, I changed

my mind and decided I should not be so hard on myself and

decided to do collage.  My collage needs work, so

by the time I do 100 of these, I should have improved. I

hoping for that result.  But I decided one element will be

in all my collages, the city,   The first one, which

I call Tugging along (lol) I had fun with,

I had some gelli painted deli paper so I

made them waves, and just went with random paints,

and I also love drawing boats, not hard one, but I

am getting better at them.  So that's it.  I hope you like it.
