Just an update that art is being made but I'm working through a migraine and the posts will be delayed. You will still have the chance to win as you would before with seven days to enter each piece when I can get them up. Hopefully sooner than later. Until then...

I found my colored pencils today and decided to try them out. I think I need to use a smoother paper. It's hard to write a blog when your tired. I woke up this morning and cut some atc's hoping to get an early start but my head had other plans and kept me on the couch until the afternoon when I needed to take my rat into the vet. Turns out he has a breed specific form of lice. It won't transfer to anyone or any other animal in the house. It may have come from the pine bedding we had been using a while back and they signs are only now prevalent enough to notice. He will get medicine once a week and a nice cage cleaning/sanitizing at the same time. Hopefully after a month he will be free of them. It hurts to see anything you love in such a state. Tomorrow the kitty gets his allergy shot... and Ash has a fever so she is staying home from school. Not enough hours in the day.

Both of these fabulous creature's drawings are open to anyone who hasn't won in April yet. The deadline to enter is 12am pst, May 2.

I'm glad to have new homes for these creatures and to know it must be destiny since each creature had only one entry. :)

I ran out of time on this one so It's a card that you can choose to color yourself or not. :) Just like the card earlier this month you can choose to frame this as a 5 x 7 and have me write a note in the card for you or use it as a gift/greeting card and receive it blank inside. The back of the card has a wonderful bonus drawing done by Ashley of a vampire and werewolf. I forgot to mention that the day I made the Vinyl toy was Ashley's Birthday. She just turned 7. How fast they grow. 

Both of these fabulous creature's drawings are open to anyone who hasn't won in April yet. The deadline to enter is 12am pst, April 30th.

I've been having trouble with my time management. Balancing the kids, health and this has trickier moments. Today I'm attempting to get my blog all filled out and saved before I create the art. Perhaps I'll tuck in a little about it once the photograph is done. Hopefully this way, when the day draws to a close I will still have the energy to photograph the art and get it posted. 

I have no idea what to make. This is biggest problem with making whatever I want every day instead of keeping to a series like I did the first six months. I spend a lot of time trying to focus well enough to decide what to do. Inspiration can not strike every day, and on those were it is absent, I probably spend more time deciding what to do then actually doing it... Well maybe not more, but more than I should for sure. I just want to do something different and then at the same time I don't. I'm curious to see what will happen.

(Later on...) So inspiration did strike today. I finally glazed the goodies that needed glaze and decided to try to fit one of Ungala's paintings I won on Listia in the frame I used for the creature today. It didn't quite fit. After putting the frame back together I saw the little circle wholes left by the hangers on the back and the metal shiny spots coming through from the stand. I thought it would be fun to use them as eyes. If the piece was sitting you could see right through the eyes to open space. The drawing is DIRECTLY on the back part of the frame. The inside drawing area is about 4 x 6. 

I got all the way to editing the pictures when I fell asleep. Even with the head start I still passed out as things loaded.

Remember both of these fabulous creature's drawings are open to anyone who hasn't won in April yet. The deadline to enter is 12am pst, April 30th.

Congratulations Mayla you are the winner of this sinister or sneaky creature. I would love to hear what you think the story would be for it. What emotion do you see?

Day 99
No winner for day 99. I thought a dragon would be an easy creature to give away. Perhaps all the dragon people are on vacation. If so here is your chance to get this card before it's gone.

I thought it was Sunday on Saturday and Sunday is Ashely's 7th birthday... so when "Sunday" started I was confused and called my mom. My parents had a good laugh at me and let me know it was actually Saturday. I was looking forward to my daughters birthday and didn't know what to do with the extra day. 

It wasn't too long after that corrective call that Kaleb gave my day purpose by using a spongebob plastic toy and poop to decorate himself, his walls and his WICKER dresser. Needless to say the wicker was wasted having no practical means or desire to clean the feces from the crevasses. 

Needless to say it has been an interesting weekend. Apologies for the blog delay. It comes as a combination of internet troubles, headaches and lack of focus. 

Day 108 Vinyl toy is sprayed with an acrylic glaze coating to keep the ink from smudging. Macron pens are not so great on these. Hard to draw on something three D when you're having trouble holding it. 

All three of these fabulous creature's drawings are open to anyone who hasn't won in April yet. The deadline to enter is 12am pst, April 29th.

This is one of those 5 x 7 splotches Kaleb made a while back and I cut up for ATC use. I like to think the character is simple yet holds a deep emotional moment. Is it just me? What emotion do you feel the character holds and why?

This drawing is open to anyone who hasn't won in April yet. The deadline to enter is 12am pst, April 25th.

Congratulations Brenda you are the fortunate winner of this four entry drawing as pulled by the hand of Ashley! She always asks me if I'm happy with the results. I tell her I'm happy I'm not picking.

I was watching a long marathon of Spartacus during my migraine. The thought of slaves was heavy on my mind when creating this. Atc size in Ink and Watercolors.

I need to finish a ring for listia with acrylic glaze but keep forgetting. I had started this drawing to use when I received the glass domes, but the drawing has to be in the center. If I put a dome on this you can't see the drawing. This forces me to use the glaze again, encouraging me to finish the previous project. This is done with Ink and Watercolor.

An older splotch I found today and was inspired to use. I already have to get the glaze out so why not for one more. This is gouache and Ink. I've been spending most of my time cleaning up from the tornado that blows through my house while I'm having a migraine.

I've been watching a marathon of Spartacus today. I do not suggest it for the faint of heart. If you didn't like 300 one heck of a lot it's probably not your cup of tea. Lots of blood and guts and fighting. I don't know why I drew a rat... perhaps all the trickery that goes along with it or perhaps this is just Ratacus. I suppose that will be up to you. FOR GLORY AND CHEESE!

I did just realize I happend to watch the second half first but oh well, tis fate. There is one thing I really enjoy about the show. The way the people talk. It's hard to explain it. Perhaps I'll think of a way when I watch the first portion another day.

This drawing is open to anyone who hasn't won in April yet. The deadline to enter is 12am pst, April 20th.

 I've got a migraine. I've been watching a show online that airs on a channel I don't get. This card was inspired by that show. The head outline taken directly from the opening sequence of the show. Anyone feel like guessing what show I've been watching?

No winner yet on this kingly creature. I think there was something else I was supposed to list but my hear hurts so I'm going to postpone the listing for a few days. I will post the auction links when they arrive.
