1. How To Make A Toy 101

Yesterday three little birds came to my house for try outs.  What great fun to open the package!  Three baby chicks popped out!  Who will be Peepsqueak?  #1,  #2 or #3 ?  Do I like the eyes?  How about the beak?  Not sure I like the feet … Color is good… but is he smiling? He HAS to look happy! … Love the red PS shirt…the shirt might need a little horizontal seam under the arm to make it fit better? All in all it is great fun to learn the process of making a TOY!  I LOVE TOYS! When I was little all my toys talked. … and yes … mostly… they still do! ha ha ha ! … and yes, I still have TOYS!

2. A Whale & Silly Number 1 pink

27Whale

The whale was requested by a friend as a fun drawing, so is not meant to be an accurate representation! I went through hundreds of photos on the internet of Humpback Whales (as whales are momentarily unavailable in my area to pose for pics), sketched a whole load of them for practice, and then put them aside and drew one of my own.

This was drawn between guests and summer socializing, which is why it has taken this long -- I'm refusing to pressure myself as far as work is concerned at the moment as there just isn't enough time in which to do everything. Am enjoying the final long days of warmth with good friends, and I know I'll eventually catch up on it all once the weather turns cold and I morph into a work-obsessed hermit once more :)

I did manage, however, to begin a series of Silly Numbers and Letters which I am posting slowly, as and when I get them done. Drew them out in marker pens, scanned them, cleaned them up, then fiddled around a bit on photoshop. Here's Silly Number One for you in pink (I have both the Numbers & Letters in red, blue, pink, orange, lavender, lime green, chocolate and white. Yes I tend to go overboard at times, what can I say?) and the Silly Number 1 chocolate Invitation Envelope for which I received a Today's Best Award on Zazzle :) Cheers ...
