Here are two recent goofings-off:
This one has red Higgins drawing ink brushed liberally over much of it's surface. USING UP ART SUPPLIES! THAT'S OUR MOTTO!!! Well, sort of. Used up some. Did color before planned text. That's a lie. I seldom/never plan text. But it's good to have a theme. Plan your words and images around a theme. Pick a Theme! Any Theme! Lines are a thicker Sharpie Marker. Colors, other than red ink, are Prismacolor pencils.
Recently Tara stitched me a many-pocketed pencil carrier out of some nifty fabrics. This is A Good Thing. Roll out the colors! Sorted to rainbow theme, with extra pockets for colors we can't see in rainbows. Little time needed to sort through choices. Sorry, clear plastic bags - we have a winner! Inspiration was make-up brush bag. My two are custom-sized - one for mostly colored pencils, another for special pens and other drawing pencils and the like.
Have I mentioned IT'S BEEN RAINING? On track to break all-time rain amount for June in Minnesota. Not a record farmers, boaters, and folks who want to play on weekends care to see broken... Did I mention vegetation is quite GREEN????? All green all the time???? Thus, this cup:
Again, thick Sharpie and Prismacolor pencils. It doesn't take much.
Still trying to decide how to create a coherent group out of all these once-cups. For now I will probably punch a hole in upper left corner of each and put them on a metal ring. Can't have them all running wild in their slow flat way.
If you can - take 5 or 10 minutes to write a thought, draw a flower, or scribble "breathe enjoy look up look down look across" on a small scrap of something. The day might be better for having done it.
It's time to "accomplish something."
We will be doing the Art Fair in Spring Green, WI, this weekend. Booth 105B. (I would wish for two nice-weather days - yup, I would.) Come by and say Hi!
Fare-thee-well,
Sue
