30 Day Drawing Challenge

 

 

 

One of the very best things I've done was to join a journaling club. My friend Sue had been with her daughter and raved about it, she then invited me to go along. As usual in many situations I appear to be the token male (men seem really odd or adverse about group activity?). We always have great time and laugh a lot. For $10 we get to try out various journaling/art techniques with support and of course use of the fancy supplies (I am usually too mean to buy fancy stuff, usually using supplies form the Dollar store or stuff I have recycled or found at the Thrift store) so this is a real treat. I joined the clubs Facebook page and they posted a 30 day drawing challenge, two lists of stuff to draw on a daily basis. What fun! I don't always draw in my art work (I love collage and use magazine images a lot) so this is pushing me in new directions. Have a peek see what you think?

 

New website!

Back to work today after 10 days off, including my birthday. Have launched the Slap Therapy website in addition to the Facebook page to keep the interest going for the Slap Therapy manual.

Please view at: http://slaptherapy.doodlekit.com/

Will endeavor to include as much fun stuff as possible.
My first delivery of books arrived on Friday, which was kind of a big deal! The books look great and another bulk order has been placed.

Art Journaling was great last night with the gals at She Runs with Scissors. We made stamps which was super cool. Loving it! TTFN

1930's influence.

 I have posted a number of art journal pages onto the Gallery page. These were inspired by a thrift store find, a 1930's Eaton catalogue packed with black and white images of the fashions of the day. I have of course added my own slant to the images by adding some risqué comments or a modern twist to make them fun. I have also scanned these finished pages and had then printed to stick onto greetings cards (at the suggestion of a friend). They are not half bad.

 

It is Victoria Day today (Public Holiday)_ so we have been busy building a new roof for the back deck, sadly rain stopped play at 4pm. Dinner is being prepared as I speak. My contribution is Lemon Brownies, never had them before (recipe posted on Facebook and Pintrest) I hope they taste as good as they smell. TTFN

Sorry for the delay....

 

 

Over a month since I posted anything on this blog.....sorry. Been kinda busy with stuff. Lots of work in the garden, thanks to the good weather and then the self publication of Slap Therapy. The book is now available to purchase, in three styles from Blurb.com. Prices start at $13.99 so it is absolute bargain. It would make a perfect gift for a good humored friend or relative.

A big thank you to all my work colleagues who have been super fabulously supportive with this crazy project. Decided to self publish and may try my luck with some local bookstores?

Slap Therapy

For a long time I have suggested that some people are beyond therapy and require a good slap. Today I launched my Slap Therapy manual on the folks at work. They all agreed that it is a very practical solution to some of the dense and deranged nonsense that we are exposed to on (it seems like somedays)a daily basis. My little art project provided lots of laughter in the workplace today, which is not a bad thing. Job well done I say!~
