Tomorrow I will design the seahorse painting.
I have drawn the "strings" or separations for the zentangle designs. Each section will have a design. I have an idea that I will decorate the tips with jewels. All is a trial and test.
I will also buy the styrofoam head and start building the mermaid. I have 11 days. Yikes!
Attempt#2
I am beginning a great new project and plan to blog it daily. It is a mermaid sculpture riding on a seahorse. I call it Dream Rider.
It is a fundraiser for the children's hospital in Fort Myers, FL. 
I have designed and planned the project and will begin tomorrow. Some adjustments have to be made as it looks different in person. Here are my plans and the actual first look at the seahorse.

graphic novel - science lab

first page can't rotate yet


I found a graphic novel I started a few years ago. I have placed it on my do list. Here is a copy of one page. These are the drawn pages and the pages I used for inspiration or model.  Not working!

paintings in progress

Here's an attempt to get some pictures on this blog.
These are in progress paintings in oil.  I'll post my illustrations next.

I am learning to age  paper from Jean Rubman. She showed me how to darken the edges with walnut oil stamp. I bought one .  I also bough a two tip marker. I am looking for my spray bottle of walnut oil. she also reminded me of tea staining.
