ART EVERY DAY # 1,2,&3

 Well, I'm back (at least for now;)  I am going to try to participate as best I can in Art Every Day Month masterminded by Leah Piken Kolidas.  I hopped on that train at the last minute, and my biggest challenge isn't creating, but actually posting pictures of the dang things... I mean lovely creations of course.  So the above is AEDM#1- sketches that I did to prepare for a How to Draw video for eHOW.  I tape thirty videos in one session, so I like to sketch out all my drawings beforehand.  I had no clue what a chibi was, but now I do (as shown above).  I would post the video so you can see that I actually completed it, but it's not out yet.
Above is AEDM#2...in the midst of everything else, I've been working on 23 cigar box creations and I finished gluing my last one yesterday.  Now I get to go back to them all and add my acrylic touches.  I'm sure I will post more on this as it is consuming 25% of my life (a lot).
Last, but not least AEDM#3, A SKETCHBOOK!  (Do you hear the angels singing in the background?)  It's because I finished it, finally.  I bind all my sketchbooks because I am a particular about my paper (Ever tried using watercolor on paper in a sketchbook with drawing paper?- YUCK.  And even worse, purchasing a watercolor sketchbook for $25 and getting 10 pages? Double yuck.  So I bind my own.)  I love binding my sketchbooks, because it has two meanings, letting go of my previous sketchbook- a chapter closed, but not forgotten, and a opening a new sketchbook- a whole new world of possibilities.  The above is for my friend Holly on the west coast, and she's been waiting for it since May.  I can't wait to see her possibilities when I visit her over Thanksgiving!!

Now for my pledge- I PROMISE TO TRY TO POST MY AEDMs IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER, BUT PLEASE, DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!
