Shaping Up

It's gorgeous weather today. How be my reader peeps?! I hope all of you are enjoying the renewal that's going on outside. Which reminds me--I need to renew some library books.

Not only that, but I got permission to buy some art supplies, so that's always nice. I got a new brush! Do you know what that means?!? It means I have a brand new brush!! The possibilities are endless!

And I'm still working away on my journal and my painting. Tonight is one of our rotating dinner parties. It's not our turn to host, so I have made some favors to take over with me. You may remember the placecards I took one time, and the magnets in matchbooks, and some other doodads at other times. I don't know. I think there were tiles one time. In any case, these little party favors tend to reflect whatever genre of creativity I'm working on at the moment.

Because I'm doing so much painting right now, I decided to make a little canvas for each couple. Luckily, I had three little canvases. I never have three little canvases! It was almost foretold that I would make these and then once again not have three little canvases! Isn't life amazing?!

Here they are. I wanted to do something Spring-y. I was going to make Easter egg-type images, but I decided that would be too topical. So, I just went with colors and shapes and doodles.

I liked doing these so much that I made one on canvas board for me to keep. So, there.

And, as promised, here is a picture of the hot-air balloon page in my journal.

So. I haven't done a damn thing else. I haven't kept up with my blog reading, I haven't posted anything for a week, and I haven't read The Annotated Alice, which is that I wanted to run home and do as soon as I saw this.

I wish I'd quit slacking around!
