Art Car. Car Art.

Here's THIS, that captivated me for a good five minutes or so as I craned to see all of the detail work this gal put into her canvas.

And in case that link didn't work for you:

I don't know about you, but that's pretty impressive. Time-consuming, and probably nothing I'd actually want on my own car, but impressive no less.

I think I'll take the evening and draw something on real paper. (:

Doggie Love + Craft Time

Woops. In the midst of my frustrated rants and hazy post-disconcerting-blood-drive-performance yesterday, I forgot to mention it was National Dogs Day [yesterday, that is]! I didn't realize it until I caught a post early on from Tawny on IG, and realized my pups deserved some shouts.

So, in a backdated hoo-rah, happy National Dogs Day to our furry kids! [Rob was sweet enough to Skype them both in over the past few days, which makes me super happy ツ]

aug 26 : happy national dogs day to you & your furry loves!

I had every intention in the world last night of starting in on the project for Sydni's birthday party this upcoming weekend, but when I got home and opened my computer, my entire body refused to function and thus I was resigned to a night of doing absolutely nothing, on the couch. I was pretty much a zombie last night.

Tonight = entirely different story. I went straight to Michael's after work, grabbed what I needed and came straight home, where I've spent the last four hours of the evening putting together the pin-the-tail-on-RainbowDash board we'll be using for Syd's birthday this weekend. I can't wait until she sees it (:

Ready... set... go!

hoping for the best.. freehand is not my thing.

Process....

pencil outline & first colors painted on!

And fiiiinally... voilá!

finished! [minus the separate tail pieces]

.... & that's pretty much all I did tonight. Tomorrow = final edits on some pictures that have been on my list, volleyball and cleaning up some more around the house... maybe even some yard work if there's time. Gotta love busy summers!

Throwback Thursday Pt 2: Nalom Art!

I have a couple of friends who I'm certain will one day be famous. Haha. Seriously. 

Okay.. so maybe some of them are currently just becoming professionals at embracing that whole starving artist thing, but eh. I do believe this one's got some talent for sure! 

I found an entire album of his art that I'd saved... I'm sharing this with the class (:

I still admire how much those portraits really do resemble their models... if not exactly, then pretty daggone close. Haha. Well, except for mine, but then again I don't seem to think anything looks like me even if it's a photograph. Go fig. Haha. 

Sure brought back some great memories for me... Hope you enjoyed! ;)
