Day 213 – Digitally processed photo. I saw faces in the spaces between the pines. (Thanks Rachelle.) Goodbye to Lair of the Bear family camp. (Taken with Instagram)

Day 214 – Sketching games with my 8 yr old. Random accidents. We draw blind, then look at the scribbles and see something new. We crumple paper and find figures in the wrinkles. I hold the pencil while she moves the paper underneath to try to draw something. (Taken with Instagram)

Day 215 – Adin came home from camp with a bag full of Alpaca fleece. So we combed it into wool roving and felted some soaps. (Taken with Instagram)

Day 221 – The faint beginnings of another sketch for a page in the children’s book. I’ve started over at least 3 times because I keep changing my mind about the type of landscape. And the little girl’s reclining position is a challenge for me. (Taken with Instagram)

Day 226 – Taking a break from plush creatures to make a new altered t-shirt. I may add long sleeves, or not. (Taken with Instagram)

Day 230 – Taking pictures with my right hand while drawing with my left, I played a sketching game that I call “chasing the shadow.” I then created an OSnap video. Check it out above this post.

Day 242 – My 8 yr old returned home from her first solo trip away from home. So proud. And so happy to have her back. A simple hand made banner welcomes her home. “Mom, this is the first of many welcome home celebrations, because I plan on making a lot of trips.” (Taken with Instagram)

Day 223 – Created a new banner for my Etsy website. I used Gimp and Inkscape which are open source (FREE) programs for those of us without Photoshop or Illustrator. (Taken with Instagram)
