Coincidence???

Is there really such a thing as coincidence? I'm a little blown away right now. Last night I got the urge to visit some of my favorite sketching blogs and decided to post a couple of photos of sketches I've done in the last year, hoping to do more sketching and posting on this blog. Thank you Teena for the blogversary wishes. I totally didn't even know it was my blogversary!!! I had to go look and sure enough, today, July 10th, was my blogversary! Now how bizarre is that?!

And thank you Anita, John and Margaret for always being an inspiration!

I'm still here!

Hi all! I know, I've been missing again! I have still been sketching, just doing other art too and working.... I've been doing lots of other art! I'm just finishing up taking an altered book workshop that has been a blast!

Anyway, I popped around to several of my favorite sketching blogs, John's, Anita Davies, and Margaret's, they're all listed on my sidebar. I'll try to post more often on this blog, not making any promises, but I'll try.

I just finished (June 13) a sketchbook that I started way back in August, 2009! So I thought I'd share a sketch and Zentangle spread I did. I need to get the whole sketchbook scanned and share it with you.

Thanks for putting up with my scattered-ness! :D

A new sketch

This is my daughter's wooden hand, that doesn't sound right! LOL! She doesn't have wooden hands or even one, she draws people and got this mannequin hand. She's decided she no longer needs it so I've taken off with it and will probably alter it some how... Anyway, I had a chance to do this while working one day, although I haven't had much chance to sketch, it's been really busy. I just got some sketches scanned and cropped so will try to post some more often.

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!!!

I like this one...

I really like this pen sketch. It was a really fast sketch of my hand and the Zentangle took longer than the hand sketch. I did this while I was working. I had to put my hand down several times due to phone calls coming in, but I think it turned out pretty good for how fast I did it.

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!

I'm baaack!

I've missed you!!!! I've been on a quilting and fabric kick for awhile but now that I'm back to working more I have some time to sketch more between calls. And of course it's that time of the year, the holidays are over and I am ready for spring!!!! Not that spring is coming anytime soon - today we're supposed to drop down into the 20s with a possibility of 1" of snow. We haven't had any big snows yet, they keep going further north to Denver.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesome day!

Come on over to my other blog...

I'm taking a break from posting sketches so come on over to my other blog and see what I'm up to:

New watercolor sketch

I've gotten out of practice sketching, trying to do better at that... I did this pear study last night. Just a quick study, although I can see the pears need shading, they look flat. I've been working on my other art, collage, quilting etc and have not been keeping up on my sketching. It's hard to do it all!

Thanks for stopping by, have an awesome weekend!

Tree trimming sketch

I did this sketch awhile back, in September. I had to go out and trim some of the trees and thought I'd take a break and do a quick sketch. My neighbor thought that was a little odd but oh well! I need to get back into sketching, I've gotten away from it a bit.

I'm still doing art, if you'd like to see what else I do check out my other blog:

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
