Hello there!
I don't want poor
Larry Fishing getting lost back in the posts, so thought I would give an update on where he
is! He is now on Larry's Mancave wall! All mounted and framed, just
"hanging" around waiting for the right time to make his move.
And
some happy news too...Helene of Alota Stamps has taken Uncle "Don Fishing!"
(Store name for this fantastic rubber stamp.) What I really mean is that she
is "using" (poor Larry to be taken advantage of like that) his picture
to spotlight Don Fishing. EWWW, it made me squeal in delight to see him
there. Thank you, Helene! You can see Don here
in the Alota Bugs Card Gallery. While you are there, check out Alota's
other bugs and stamping categories. There is such great variety and
super cool stamps to be had!
That's
it, my UPDATE. I hope to show Larry in all his glory very soon. Take
time to smell the roses this weekend. I think I mean get out there and
do some gardening. But who can pull themselves away from creating?
Very hard. Unless you are a friend who is in winter, then you have a
legitimate excuse because you have to stay inside all warm and toasty
and dry, so you may as well be crafting! My very best to you all.

Hello!
Just
wanted to share with you my first colored pencil picture. I am making
something out of the image on the right for my 20 year Anniversary...two
weeks late! I couldn't wait to post at least the picture and hear what
you have to say about the coloring. The picture on the right was done
on white paper and my second attempt. The left is on beigy-type and my
first try. I'm not sure if I did the water right. Or the shading
right. Or anything right for that matter! Used OMS, Prisma pencils and
colorless blender, and an eraser. I sure enjoyed the coloring and
think I have found the medium I like to work with best. So, I would
like your tips, critique, and suggestions, please! The rubber stamp is a
win from Alota Rubber Stamps (thank you, Alota!) named "Don Fishing,"
renamed "Larry Fishing!" Larry has loved to fish since he was a little
boy and always has a fish story for me. They never got away! Sweet,
don't you think? I think maybe Larry would rather have been fishing for
the last 20 years! LOL! I am very blessed to have him. A big thank
you for taking a peek and I hope you are doing OK. I really mean that!
Bye bye for now!
