GREETINGS...


MOSTLY ART... 
July 31, 2011 

Hi Friends, Family and Visitors,
Happy to "see" you here. I hope you've had a good week! 
As is my custom, here's this week's 6-Word Memoir to start my blog posting...
"world traveler, unique friends...same heart" 
A while ago, I collected some of my favorite people photos from a variety of our travels and constructed the poster above...such different faces, lifestyles and environments...but all have the same heart. The more we travel, the more we realize that basic human nature is the same...a good thing!

It's wonderful to have healing time for my back, stretching before me...lots of time to make art! Here are some of this week's challenges, answered...
CRAZY AMIGOS asked to see in which shoes we walk...
TAKE A WORD asked participants to work within the SEPIA color range...I did two...the one above (MODELS) and below (NATIVE)

The newest TAKE A WORD challenge has to do with illustrating a favorite song...
COLLAGE OBSESSION announced it's challenge to be based on the theme of GLUTTONY...
and finally, SUNDAY POSTCARD ART was in the mood for WINGS...

That's all the standing I can do for now...so, 'til my next posting, thanks so much for stopping by- I hope you'll return again! Have a great week, all!

xox,

  7. I love your "long and winding road" piece, Abby. I recently watched a PBS special on John Lennon, and have been revisiting some of the Beatles songs. I've enjoyed them all over again!
