Well, here we are – my daughter and I. We finally ditched our crutches. DH took this photo of us before our expedition to hit (or in our case, hobble around) the mall. I played with photoshop elements to “cartoon” ourselves, with less than stellar results. I recently had a conversation with my friend Lisa […]

Digital Whisper 100 Themes Challenge #70 Bridge Too Far
April 5, 2011 5 Comments
I was not sure what this title really meant. Is it “the bridge too far” from operation market garden, the act of overreaching? Well, I decided to do it on what came to mind when I first read the words to the theme: When I was a child, there was a story that went with […]

Our dear dog Hiro’s favorite outside toy are empty water bottles. He helps himself to the recyclables outside, and runs like the wind (or flies on “wings”) around the yard with a bottle in mouth, the happiest guy in the world: His light hearted personality, and contentment in the simplest things make him the best dog […]

Challenge #2 was to start the tangle with a two pencil string – putting two pencils together and drawing a scribble. Here is my tangle: My initial strings ended up looking like a cursive “S”.

My grandparents were here in the U.S. during the turn of the century, but in early 1900’s they returned to their homeland. This is the journey my mother, sisters, and I made to join our father here in the 60’s: I was literally a FOB back then :-). We sailed the Pacific on the Sakura […]

Here is challenge #1 in my effort to “catch up” – the theme was “Simplicity”. I just went and started drawing and this is the result: When I showed DH my efforts, I got the same look I got over 20 years ago when I showed him my cross stiching projects. He just doesn’t get it […]

April’s art show theme at the RAA is “In The Garden”. Since I like to make flowers and things, it was pretty easy to go along with this theme. Here are some of the things I will be displaying: I mostly made floral themed beads and buttons, with the exception of the pretty encased silver […]

What? not another challenge! I came across Zentangle at a couple of my fellow Drawing Lab student’s blogs. I saw what wonderful Zentangles they were creating, and had to investigate. Here is a brief description of Zentangle (taken from Zentangle): Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It […]

I made another lampwork bird bead this week. It’s supposed to be a little yellow bird, but it turned out to look more like a fish with stick legs: I feel a bit in the doldrums in terms of birds, I will have to get a bit more creative for the coming weeks. Any ideas?
