Scribble Talk

This is a professional pencil artist site. I look 2 the color pencil artist section. WOW the works done in CP are awesome. i learned some tips from them. 2 of the images from Dustin Pike are my 1st experiments, I learned to color in small cork screw circles. Use a light feather like touch,lightly touch the paper.Use layers from light to dark. Very little hand pressure on these,saved a lot of hand pain.
The colors really popped out on these images. Takes a little longer ,WOW look,less hand pain.
I relly luv the skater. Hiss/board has @ least 8 layers

Battle Plan

100F days are going to hit any day now. I have a summer menu written out in case the heat puts me down to fall back on.The v/tion s/bk will be the last major project till the heat dies down in Oct.
2. Mending pile next! Allen been patient on this. Got to get the machine set up. the pile is in my mission s/bk. I can't drag the box out till I get the clothes out of it.
3. H&J's b-day card needs to get done. I want to try a new idea of sewing fabric & paper on my machine. I got a piece of charming Hello-Kitty fabric from New Zealand I want to make a card with. They both love Hello Kitty!!Again This is a card needs to be done ahead.I was down the week of Mother's Day & Mark H.'s b-day. All Allen had to do was go & take them down off the bulletin board. I never know when my body is going to throw a curve ball @ me.
4 I did get the ceramic S/W Indian piece done for Allen. I need to go back & touch up the branches of it w/ some brown acrylic paint. A year late for our anniversary. @ least we almost had another year.
5. Print out some of the digi's i have been surfing for on the web to color in my bdrm when it gets too hot.I have been looking for free dig's to color to save money. I put them away to make cards when it's cooler. some of the images I want to make for my GI card route.I luv coloring w/ my Prism color pencils. I got some watercolor paper to print some on so I can use my w/color pencils Allen gave me.

I went DIGTAL!!!

I finally got to use Forest's camera he gave me for my B/day. It's awesome. I can really zoom in & get the whole image of the card in the frame. this is our 1st digital camera. Now I can post my cards as I make them. I just had sent my 2nd s/ment of cards to Iraq. this was my biggest s/ment .Today another s/ment going out to a swap buddy in Florida for H/ween cards.
This is my 2nd batch of Dustin Pike's digi's colored images. This is the 2nd time I have printe dthese off. I need s/thing to color in front of my bdrm a/c unit. It was a very,very long hot summer here.I found these digi's while looking for s/thing else to color.This time I printed them off on GP110# c/stock founf @ Sam's. Allen didn't think I could print c/stock on our printer. On a thread on s/bk site I had seen s/one using a Cannon printer. I played around w/ the printer settings & figured out how to place 3 images on my paper. Not to bad for s/one who's not a tech geek.
I was so TICKED because the Prism pencils didn't SMEAR. I colored all these last Sat. to my heart's delight. I luv my Prism pencils,they lay layers of color down so smoothly. I luv the britilant colors.
I don't have pic's of the Botancials cards I sent to Iraq.I'm still getting back on feet from my asthma attacks & my hospital stay. I did post images of some Prism colored flowers that are in progress on my desk.on my Flicker site.Also Dustin Pike H/ween cards. I will have to go back later & type in my tags & descriptions. I get tired really easily. I cooked hashbrowns etc for Allen & I for breakfast this morn. It's actually cooler so I was hungry this morn.

Wouldn't let me post

I couldn't post my labels so It wouldn't let me publish my paragraph


As U can see I experimented w/ al ot of different media this summer so I could save my sanity sitting in front of my window a/c unit during the heat of the day. I' starting to put some of these together for cards.
i also used some of my b-day money to buy new colors Prism has putted out. W/ Allen's protests I also replaced some of the colors I really chewed up. Dick Bik had them for.95. HL didn't have some of these colors. Their pencils have gone up to $1.49. I had to pay s&h so I want ed to order only once. I had Laura go in w/ me since she couldn't find scratch board. That cut my s&h down in 1/2 to save money.
Now if I can only get some more energy & it cool down I can get my floral cards & finish up my Dustin Pike cards for my swaps etc done then I can start on s/bk projects. Since Forest & Laura have b-days coming up this fall, I can save money on postage if I finish their gifts. Forest will be his b-day fro m 1 to 15 yrs old. Laura's will her baby pic's when we lived in Conn. It will have pic's of her g-father,gr.g/mother & uncle who are now dead holding her as a baby. i just hope my health will hold out so I can record these events for my kids to have. My biggest fear I have brain damage etc, I won't be able to remember the stories behind the pic's. Besides money for C-mas is non exisent so I need to come up items I can make w/stuff here in the house.
