I also have a giveaway on my other blog...

Can you tell what this is?

Okay, can you tell what this is without me giving you a hint? I think I crunched it up too much......

The end of the last moleskine...

I'm finally uploading some more of my sketches that I ended my last Moleskin with. I'm getting a little sick of sketching things around the house and ready to head out and do some landscapes...

A new sketch

Here's another sketch I did in the Moleskine that I just finished. This turned out pretty good, with the exception of the wizard and the fact that in reality there are 2 more pens in the case. Now that is creative license! LOL! I have a bunch more to scan and load - just making sure my scanner works.......

I just recently noticed that Moleskin is spelled Moleskine - I wonder why?

I missed you!!!

Oh it's been a very long week!!! My other computer got all scrambled and I had to get a new one - with Windows Vista instead of XP and it's all different! And of course everything had to be reloaded, thank you DH. I finished my Moleskine and this is one of the sketches I did. I finished it early! On the 13th I think. I'll have to post more photos when I get the hang of this new way of doing everything.... Sometimes change is good and sometimes it's a pain in the rear!

Only 5 1/2 more spreads to go!

Here are a few more sketches I've done the past couple of days. I only have 5 1/2 more spreads to do and I will have finished my Moleskin in one month! I just wanted to see if I could do it.

The top sketch is my crochet bag and the bottom is a Zentangle I was playing around with.

Someone asked me which one I enjoy doing more ~ Zentangles or sketches. I really like realistic work and when I'm drawing and painting I like to try and get things as realistic looking as possible. So I guess I would have to say I like doing a good sketch more. Zentangles are relaxing and fun to do and serve a totally different purpose.

Have a great week!

I'm a sketching fool...

I have been sketching up a storm! I decided this morning I'm going to try and finish this Moleskin in one month, I started December 18th so I've only got 8 1/2 days left!!!! I've done 5 or 6 spreads this morning so I only have 20 - 21 spreads left, counting the inside of the back cover. I know, I'm anal, it's just not done until the back cover is drawn on too! I also draw on every single page, including the backs of pages... These are a few sketches I've been doing this week. This morning I sketched the Hibiscus, I wasn't going to color them in but decided I just love the colors when I'm flipping through the pages.........

The other night I was out of ideas and too lazy to get up and go find something to sketch so I did a Zentangle. These are lots of fun to do, very relaxing and don't take as much time as you'd think.

I guess I'd better go eat breakfast since it's 12:36 pm! :D Have a great weekend!

EDM challenge 44 - draw your pet

This is Sapphire. She is one of our 3 cats, and the one we've had the longest. She finally sat still long enough for me to do a quick sketch. Sapphire has "attitude!"
