Baby, It's HOT Outside !

PhotoStopShop
With Doodling, There is a Sense of Being Done.
Of somehow Knowing When To Stop


But, With Photoshop


I have not figured out When To Stop
~ Nothing Quite Feels Right Yet ~


Maybe That's Just "Learning"....


SomeOne asked, did I paint that background ?
haaa- no !
It's a picture of a pillow
Magic Lasso cut and duplicated
Then a click on the Filter "underpainting"
And BooP.
That's what came out.


Cut some bows...


Paint some polk-a-dots...


Pick a Flower....


And Enjoy Summer

P R O C R A S T I N A T O R


I do love to Dooooodle


Even though I know I should be Working On This


I have stalled the Round Robin
And I pray that The Royal Confections
Do not decree
Off With Her Head !
Just.Yet.

Did You see Wall-E yet ?





We Did....


And if
You
DID
See Wall-E,

Then You
probably saw
The Preview
to THIS


Which had me about to explode in tears of excitement
As I sat there in the dark of the theater
TRYING TO ACT LIKE A GROWN UP

Royal Confections - Part Deux


The First Journal & Dress Form
In The Royal Confections Round Robin
From Art Esprit


It was so exciting to unwrap it
And investigate all the contents in the box !


But it's scarey at first
to start working on someone Else's WORK !
I had to lecture myself that this was My Objective
~ To Add On ~
And that while it was here with me
It was Mine.
(thats when she got LEGS)


The Journal Opens
And some idea of what
the Original Artist intended
reveals.


Then I was cookin' with gas
As the ideas started to come


Her "Wordy Within" Poetress-ness
Called for a game of clipped out words
And various Objects of Royal Girl Court
To mix and match as the mind sees fit
(more on that later)


And then...
What to Wear ?
A Bookish Queen must still be dressed for Court !


And if I ever get the beadwork DONE
The Bodice of Sparkling Roses
Can then be worn
On Her Journey Forth
To The Court of Madame Rochambeau !

It was a Great Fourth of July Weekend

Tacos and beer, and movies,


New pens, Fabulous New Air Conditioning System,


Naps, Fireworks, Bar B Q,
A Nicely Chilled Chardonnay...


And Just Being H O M E.

Super
Sweet
Sigh
of
"Ahhhh"

I don't even mind going back to work today.
