First post



Well it is about frickin' time don't you think? I finally got around to making a blog for all the crazy awesome stuff I have learned. If I have time to maintain it, it should be a great read.

Check out this awesome contest giveaway to win 21 ATC's! All you have to do is reply to the post about it, follow the blog, or do several other things each worth an entry. The art is awesome. It is a spectacular event. And the blog is great too. http://nakedheartart.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2010-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2011-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=50


Things I learned the past few days:
~I can indeed [aint. who knew? (not me!)
~can draw myself from photos
~can paint over existing images using a tissue paper application when Gesso is nowhere in site
~that you can make your own gesso, but mine failed
~postage stamps are awesome
~I can draw without looking at something, but it won't be as detailed etc as I usually can get
~6 words is all you need to make a compelling short story accompanied by an image
~dark poetry can be "found" in any magazine and it is so much fun
~I can tweak and write my own crochet patterns and make some cool stuff.
~that my hubby feels I am "out of control" haha :)

That's it for now. More later if the little boy on my lap allows :)
