I created this post as an experiment to see what would happen! The images come from a cloud-based art archive service that I recently signed up for. It works!
And wow! You can click on an image to see it bigger! Woohoo!
Additional observations:
It's a "live" collection - as I add images to the Archive Collection, they show up here. The java script made my blog layout strange (just for this post). Click on Home to regain normalcy!
Daily Goals:
Do a Daily Drawing. (Fashion sketches count). 12/31
The fashion sketches are TOP SECRET
This, however, was a fun "Sunday Challenge" in my Facebook sketch group:
"Draw yourself as royalty in 3 minutes"
I used Procreate. [It took longer than 3 minutes!]
Procreate doodles (new) 19/31
This one got the most Likes:
List at least one item on Poshmark4/4 Upload new art to Redbubble. 2/4
Sew one patch onto Crazy Quilt (new). 0/4 [sigh]
Summer Goals: 54 FASHION SKETCHES (new)13/54 Get taxes done. not yet DeClutter the living room (again). started and needs more constant/consistent work Get sewing machine repaired. (how many years has this been broken now?) not yet
Do you have any sort of "To Do" list? Or maybe a "Honey Do"?
I'll report back again at the end of the September, progress or not.
The SUMMER Link Party closes at 9/2, so get those summer things linked!
There will be a different sort of Link Party for September -- check back tomorrow!
Create a new Waterlogue from old road trip photos. 2/30
Post a piece of art on Saatchi Art. 2/30 These two items are done simultaneously. Did a bunch in May before vacation for digital entries to two shows. Finding it difficult to do both a daily drawing and a daily Road Trip waterlogue during the work week. Maybe it's something I do on the weekends.
Weekly Goals: Sew and/or repair at least one garment. 1/4
Still not entirely sure about this mend.
It's my schlubby around-the-house tee, but the mend made it less soft and comfy.
List at least one item on Poshmark10/4 In the process of uploading my remaining 4 x 6" EDGE digital watercolors.
Summer Goals: Get taxes done. not yet DeClutter the living room (again). no Get sewing machine repaired. (how many years has this been broken now?) no [Green text items are carried forward from 2017.]
Do you have any sort of "To Do" list for Summer? Or maybe a "Honey Do"?
I'll report back again at the end of the July, progress or not.
Hey procrastinators -- last day to link up for June! PSYCH! The party continues until the end of August.
Remember doing those summer vacation reports in grade school? Me neither.
I'm doing this more for me than for you. I'll be writing more detailed posts on my various blogs. This is functioning as my Table of Contents and link center (adding links as posts are written). You're welcome to come along for the ride!
LAX - BOS
I mended (until I dropped my seam ripper under my seat) and sketched.
Getting from Boston to Providence was an adventure. More on that later.
A few tense moments chasing the box of art, which I picked up at the Post Office as I was leaving town:
Vermont
Rendezvoused with Annie at her sweet cabin.
Finished customizing the tiaras for our 45th high school reunion parade.
Covered a random princess (on Annie) and Hello Kitty (on me) with our school's founder, Emma Willard
It seemed that every time we were in transit, it rained. The drive from Barneveld to Newark was especially harrowing -- Severo almost hit a deer on US17, a six lane highway.
BOOM! tunic is made from a scarf, a 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target scarf.
This is not the first time I've worn this, but it may be the last, until I figure out how to make it less of a walking static nuisance. Maybe the back needs to be cotton?
The big news here is that I'm all excited about the online Procreate (iPad drawing app) class that I'm taking with Traci Bautista. We're also learning how do do digital art journaling using the Noteshelf app. I think this will help me get my ideas organized.
My first page:
So. Much. Fun!
Today, learning more functions:
Note the consistent color story.
I seem to be stuck in a cobalt/cadmiums situation.
I also can't find my Apple Pencil charger, so I'm finger painting.
I'm posting my Procreate experiments on Instagram as a 100 Day Project:
