Wild Man

Up! A bit higher A little higher And very high! These are Matt’s heros, Parkour. I am sure most of you have seen this style of stunts at least once in the James Bond film with Daniel Craig, Casino Royale. Like them he takes all necessary precautions before performing any of these stunts, they areContinue reading “Wild Man”

Happy Year of the Rabbit

A year to catch our breaths and calm down. Last year was rough, so many hardships came down upon people I know and love. I am hoping with the start of this year we can all heal from these trials, grow, and find balance. My plans for myself are to simply stay on track. IContinue reading “Happy Year of the Rabbit”

The Accident

The whole story (I am pulling from old posts; so, there will be repeats but, even on those pages some changes have been made): And in case you miss the comment from Sean: Anyone interested in some more details of the story might be interested in the blog post I wrote shortly afterwards: A isContinue reading “The Accident”

An animal and Daisies

Last night I found myself free of responsibility. All deadlines met and no pressing holiday needs. I had been at the computer for the better part of the day, hubby was asleep so, no chance to watch him play Fable 3, and therefore was free to sit at my studio desk. For the first nightContinue reading “An animal and Daisies”

After a Blizzard

Well after the holidays, good news from family, and a huge snow storm I almost forgot it was Tuesday! Time for a couple more pages of the story. The third image is not finished but, I think you get the jist. Page that goes in between these two

Load-Bearing

For the next pages in my sketchbook project I am going to work on stories Matt has told me. Most involve hospital trips in the end. This story has been told to me, to others while I listened, and by me(because I have heard it so many times at this point). The story has grownContinue reading “Load-Bearing”

Sculpey/Clay – 2 of 2

It’s been a busy season for my hands. Sometimes I am left with lots of pain in my hands and forearms. Working clay is not only hard work, it is physical labor. It’s important to find ways to  aid your tendons from becoming over stretched or strained. And now starts my tips for working withContinue reading “Sculpey/Clay – 2 of 2”

From Paper to Clay

This frog was born during craft time with my son. He thankfully loves drawing and playing with clay. Given that I don’t really want him to mess up my clay and it is a bit too tough for him, I found a recipe for play dough. On my second try we had the perfect batchContinue reading “From Paper to Clay”

Magical Nature Hike

This continues off of the pages where Matt ran up the flight of stairs. After I caught my breath for 20 minutes we ended up walking alone. We traversed narrow ledges over the river, climbed logs that had fallen in the river, and found this pillar which we climbed and sat on.

Sculpey/Clay – 1 of 2

Clay. The medium that relaxes me and makes me feel like I am refreshing my creativity while I work. Example, I worked on projects until 2am last night and didn’t notice the time at all. Over the years I have learned some tricks as well as found other artists who’s work in polymer is trulyContinue reading “Sculpey/Clay – 1 of 2”

Christmas Skunk

I have been doing a lot of work with sculpey lately, making ornaments. Wanting to change up from making loads of snowmen I decided to sculpt one of my sketches from the summer. These sketches were simplified animals drawn in chalk on our driveway for my son. Given that I love the less lovable animalsContinue reading “Christmas Skunk”
