30. Simple




I decided to do some paper animals in cars. Sometimes I need to do some really simple things and this was a good project for that. All paper...all goodness.














I have a few more but they aren't finished yet. I hope I remember to post them.

31. Carrot Car

I did this bunny and carrot car using paper scraps. I don't know what it is but I am just not loving the background. I can't let it go so I am probably going to change it. 


I have several more animals and cars that I am working on so hopefully I will get the background figured out. What do you think?

34. Birds, Birds, Birds

Here are some birds I did from book paper, acrylic and paper. They are a lot of fun and I always enjoy doing them...time to clean off the desk and get busy on something new.






I will have these for sale at White Linen Night in the Heights in August. It's been awhile since Ive attended so I am happy to see all the artists again.

39. Valentines Day Cards with Fabric

I was inspired by these cards by Ellzabelle on Twelve Crafts till Christmas.  She has an easy tutorial her blog.  I used some leftover scraps that were too cute to throw out, but I didn't know what to do with.  I made about twenty of them while watching Desperate Housewives - it really is that easy...  I cut out patterns from the fabric on the flowered ones, but I really love the cute cut-out shapes she did on her cards.

Guess who slipped a disc in her back? Yes, me. How? I have no clue! Maybe to many Karate Kid Crane Kicks with my boys (yes, I seriously was doing them)


Well, it's been hurting for awhile now but the past three weeks have been killer. I've been taking it easy and catching up on my pile of unread books. 

So it's time for a give a way...double fist pump!!

Total fact randomness... J.J. Audubon's The Birds of America, published in 1840, is the most valuable book in the world. It sold for $8,802,500 in March 2000—the highest price ever paid for a book.

Some interesting pieces featuring paper in action: being folded, cut, torn, moved—you get the picture.

45. Won Park’s Money Origami

One_dollar_koi_new_ver__side_by_orudorumagi11

Three_Dollar_Millenium_Falcon_by_orudorumagi11

Paper folder Won Park makes seemingly impossible works of origami out of American dollar bills. Check out the koi; not only is it shaped perfectly, but Park managed to even give it eyes and scales.

What’s more, he offers up downloadable instructions (PDF) and a series of instructional videos on how to fold your own dollar koi.

46. 33 pages

The 33 page picture book

No, there are no 33-page picture books. Not yet.

At a recent conference, though, I had a discussion about why picture books are usually 32 pages. One person suggested that some famous picture book author should come out with a 33-page picture book, and then the industry would print it.

Oliver

Uh, no. It really does have to do with the way paper folds and how much can be printed on existing printing presses.

So, the response was that when picture books go digital it won’t matter. That’s right: online, page counts can be anything you want.

But I argued that the 32-page picture book has developed into a certain literary form, much like the 14 line sonnet form for poetry. Yes, of course, writers of digital picture books can choose to write free verse; but they may also choose to write in the 32-page format.

We don’t know if or when the majority of picture books will change to digital versions. But it’s still worth studying and mastering the 32-page format because it will teach a lot about selecting events and details for a picture book, about language that works in a picture book, about planning for kids to chime in, about making it read-aloud friendly, and much more. The 32-page format won’t be completely abandoned even when (or if) digital picture books become the norm.

47. Illustration Friday: idle


It has been a bleak week as my pal Louie passed away. He is my mom and sister's dog. Louie and I spent 6 day's together just me and him in June. I'm so glad I did and we had 3 glorious walks a day, slept a lot, ate good food and watched movies together. He was never idle except for dog naps because he is a border collie and lived for the walks. He was sensitive and sweet and I am so glad that my Mom took him to Lakemont for his last walk because he really loved that place. Louie was a herder and therefore never idle. We will miss you forever sweet Louie.
My submission for Illustration Friday's "idle" theme is a birthday card I made for my sister Dee Dee and it features Louie. It is paper and ink.

50. Paper Hog (personal essay)

Paper is a hot commodity in my house. Some families complain about the phone hog, or the bathroom hog. My younger son is the paper hog. He draws on it, cuts it, glues it, or otherwise uses it all up. As a teacher and writer, I like paper too. After all, books are made of paper.
Of course, my younger son and I aren’t the only paper users in the house. My older son needs paper for homework and other urgent reasons, such as writing down game codes and friends’ phone numbers. My husband is the list-maker. You name it, he has made a list for it. My husband, actually, is the paper hoarder. He buys packages of notepads and hides them. I kid you not.
Everyone in the family knows where to find the good paper. It’s in the computer printer. The older son, however, is happy with the backs of old mail taken from the recycling box. He would probably even use old paper for his homework if he had a choice on that. My husband, like I said, has his own paper. That leaves me and the paper hog.
His need for paper must be genetic. I clearly remember my grandmother telling me, yet again, I could only have one piece of paper per visit. She worked for a paper mill and had whole reams of 12-by-18 white glossy paper in the bottom of the china cabinet in the dining room. She was a generous woman, and had plenty of paper. The one page limit was set because I was, you guessed it, a paper hog.
How could I deny my son the joy and endless possibilities of a new piece of paper? I can’t. I am proud that he is inspired by a blank page, and as a parent I must encourage him. Hiding a paper stash, as my husband does, doesn’t work. I’m ready to give in before he even asks. I can only blame myself when I go on a frantic search for paper at 11 pm the night before a due date.
Maybe in some families the members bargain over the remote control or last can of soda. Between my younger son and I, it’s the last piece of paper in the printer tray. So, to editors at the book publishers I would say this: handle with care. That paper my story is printed on may hold more value than you think. Sure, writers pour their heart and soul into their work and the end result comes at the price of sweat and tears, but have you haggled with a preschooler lately?
Not that it has ever happened, but if I am extra tired, or distracted, the next story I send to a publisher might have a bonus story on the back. My favorite? A house drawn with crayon and “MOMDADSAMNATE” written in the sky by a four-year old writer-in-training. Now, that’s a great story.
Did I mention he likes envelopes, too?
