Scanning woes and art plans
I want to spend time *making* it, not scanning it, uploading it to flickr, and then writing about the process of it!
But I really want to document it beyond just having a sketchbook of it, so eventually I really will get around to it.
Although this week I have a major sucky cold and it's sapping all my energy beyond zentangling and laying on the couch and trying to find anything worth watching On Demand when you only have basic cable.
I've been doing masses of zentangles, and a couple of GPP's challenges, and I'm working on some earrings from this book.
Next I'm thinking of a frame for a drawing I bought my sister for her birthday - I was going to buy one, and then I remembered that I want to do much more using-up of my supplies this year - so I think I might make one out of felt, cereal box cardboard, and beads. I sort of have a vision.
Since the drawing is Ganesh, I'm thinking beaded shisha mirrors and sparkle on black felt - but not too much, because I don't want to take away from Mei's beautiful art.

Creative Experiments!
I don't believe in making resolutions, but I want to start updating my blog more, because I've been making lots of art that isn't getting shown to anyone.
I've also been spending too many hours looking at other people's blogs and their art - which sometimes leads to happy discoveries like this one.
Daisy Yellow is AWESOME. There are so many great ideas, inspiring art, links to follow, etc. that you could spend weeks just looking at everything there.
One thing Tammy does is post lists of Creative Experiments. List #8 has just been posted for January and I am going to get the hell off the computer right now and get to work!
(My current project - ok, one of zillions - is the online journal-creating class I am taking with Mary Ann Moss, Remains of the Day. I'm about to bind the signatures into the cover so I can start filling up my book and I am SO EXCITED.)
