Not so genius inventions....

2007_0127yourselfexpress0002 Remember this art journal??

Well I never finished it...So after not finding anything to make a journal with...YET! I thought I would dig it out and work in it a bit!

It is mostly illustrations...I didn't say good ones! lol But it is a good place for me to practice them!

Working on faces mostly...when I really should be trying to learn how to draw hands and feet! No can do...Not something I was ever very good at...but hey! I got the perfect art journal to try it out in! :)

And soooooooo...my morning illustration page for today....

001 Up a Four-damn-0'-clock this morning! WHY FOR!! Lawdy!

Too dang early if you ask me!

I was sitting at my desk with much the same look on my face as this gals...Ok so it's a self-portrait..fffffft!

Me with my brownish-red hair (yes if you may know it came out of a box lol) and my hazel brown/green eyes(nope no contacts..I sorta omited the glasses I wear hee hee)

And my bright red night shirt..t-shirt type...just made it plain..but it really has on it the words..."Dear Santa...I want it all!" *snicker*

Gee...you think I could of drawn my bewbies a bit bigger! I look like I belong to the itty bitty titty commity! LOL Not that there is anything wrong with small titterz but maybe it is just wishful thinking they were something non-exsistant! Heck! Who really likes wearing bras? Really! The warmer it is the tighter they become and make you feel like they are going to cut off your air supply! lol And I must not have any shoulders...because the straps keep easing their way down off my so called shoulders! *hands up in the air* Why are we tortured this way? Who invented these contraptions anyways?! Like it's not enough crap we gals have to endure...Like sanitary pads!!! Gahhhh! Feels like a wad of paper between your legs and crawls up where the sun don't shine! Ha!! Go figure.......

Anywho! Much love and hugs! Happy Creating! :D

    And so life goes on....

    001 I really don't have alot to say today...It is all in my head in a jumbled mess and just not sure how to straighten it out right now.

    I am sure I could find something to say but it wouldn't be nice or it would come out all wrong! Ever have those days??

    And no it's not pms time LOL

    It is not me to just sit and bitch bitch bitch...But there comes a time when you just want to scream and break things! lol Know what I mean Vern! lol

    Let's just say ...there are people that come into your life who just don't get it and don't know how to shut up long enough to listen! Like I said I don't bitch very often or have alot to bitch about...just one time I needed that ear and they went about it in the wrong way and turned into one big nightmare! Now how does that help! And then you just have to draw a line and say BUH BYE! Gahhhh! I hate that!

    Today I just needed a place to vent so just ignore this post LOL Did a little art this weekend! Will have more to show you all through this week! :) For now..I am going to go throw and break things! ;o) Ya...you all know better hu! lol

    Much love and hugs!

    Tagged again!

    I have been tagged by, RobenMarie for a meme. This one uses the letters of your middle name.

    Here are the rules:

    You have to post these rules before you give the facts. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had. When you are tagged you need to write your own blogpost containing your own middle name game facts. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and to read your blog.
    I was given the middle name Lynn...so here we go!
    L~ Larry my brother second oldest ...I was the baby of the family. Even as obnoxious as he was when we were young and I don't think we understood each other then as we do now like best friends! Love you hun!
    Y- Youth..now there is something I have lost along time ago as far as in age! lol Although I might be older on the outside my heart, mind and soul is just as playful as it was then!
    N~ Nancy-my given name at birth! My saints name Ann ...N..ann..cy..I never have liked my first name much..sorry Mom and Dad...Most of my friends either call me Nance or Fritz!
    N~ Nicholas~My first born son...20 years ago this November 16th!  Named after St. Nicholas. I have not seen my son Nicholas since he was 10 after a bitter divorce. I will be patient and pray to God he will find me some day and his brothers too William and James Cody. I miss you boys so much! And love you with all my heart!
    Ok! Before I bawl like a baby I need to name 4 people for each letter of my named to be tagged
    I tag:
    Much love and hugs!

    Here is what I have been up to...

    021 As my DH says, "up to no good" hee hee

    I mentioned that I would show you what I was creating on wallpaper! So here it is!! I have one more just can't get a good piccy with out the glare! hmmph!

    "Soul Visions" I might changed that lol Not sure!

    Like I said these pieces are oddly shaped! It measures 14-3/4 x 10-1/2 at the tallest and widest points!

    I had to clip it to a piece of cardboard..which is temporary btw...I didn't have enough hands to take the piccy! lol ...and it was too windy and cloudy outside for piccy taking!

    I will keep working on getting a good photo of the other piece and hopefully show it to you tomorrow!

    020

    Now on to something new and I am really excited about... This!! Please ignore the clippy things and the cardboard behind it...it too is temporary until I can either find something to mount it to or hmm something!! lol You got any ideas! They are both created on wallpaper...???   "Charming In The City".

    Creating my own faces by drawing and painting is not something I am totally used to doing just yet...so hopefully this last piece is not a one timer LOL

    So now I am off to work on some backgrounds and stir up trouble in my studio! hehehhee

    Much Love and hugs!

    Sense of wonder....

    Journey_unleashed_001 First off..I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes for my daughter and my hippy guy! And for all your lovely comments you leave for me every day! They make my day! :)

    Another loose leaf Journal Art Page "Journey Unleashed" 8-1/2 x 11 on cardstock! A whole lot of journaling going on here! The quote reads, "Always be yourself..an original is always worth more than a copy". Always be yourself! There is no one else in this whole wide world just like you! You are unique! A one of a kind work of art! And never let go of your sense of wonder!

    It will be awhile till I can work on cardstock again...so I am working on wallpaper at the moment a lot larger and a bit different as in shape! I can't scan it so I am racking my brain for a place to take a good photo of it!

    You know...I just thought of something...I know don't hurt yourself there Nance! hee hee ...I have been working out of the same 5 fashion magazines I bought last year! Holy dang! I swear each time you flip through them you find something new you can use in a collage! Try what Teesha suggests...turn the magazine upside down ..ya sure people will look at ya funny but so what lol...But turning the magazine upside down you are able to disassoiciate the adds and photos and see things differently! You'd be surprised what you can find!!! Try it! See if it works for you! It doesn't have to be a fashion magazine either any ol magazine will have some amazing stuff in it! Use pieces of the whole and turn it into something all your own! :) Go play!!

    Much Love and Hugs,

    Nance
