HANGING IN THE BALANCE

Tinkerbell’s habitual tardiness
was beginning to put a damper
on her hot air ballooning.

A dusted off and polished version of an older image that I’m also using on my new website, (which is almost done… woo!)

Seemed to fit this week’s Illustration Friday theme. Killed two birds with one… er three birds… stones… oh, I don’t know.

(No birds were harmed in the making of this post.)

I belong to The Doodle Diner, a delightful group of talented artists. Above is a tribute to Eric Carle that I posted onto our collective blog.

Throughout the month of November, we at The Doodle Diner will be celebrating Eric Carle, one of our favorite children’s book author/illustrators, who has recently retired. In addition to our tribute we’d also like to invite all of you to join us by creating a piece of artwork, poem or share a favorite memory.

If you are interested, please send your submission to thedoodlediner@gmail.com.

Little known fact: Despite his otherwise great girth, Santa is plagued with quite the spindly, chicken legs.

The “Illustration Friday” theme for the week is skinny and, well, it’s time to break out the Santas, eh?

While gazing at herself in the mirror this morning, Henrietta was frozen with a sense of pride at being one of the rare hens with teeth.

A bit of a stretch perhaps, what with the Illustration Friday’s word of the week being “frozen.” But being a relatively new user of a Wacom tablet and playing around with Photoshop brushes, I redid an older post today. So, being quite lazy, figured heck, why not post this… heh!

Constantly looking over here shoulder, Zeldalina was more concerned about where she’d been than where she actually was at the moment. A tad hazardous while flitting around on a broom, wouldn’t you say?

So our lesson for the day is what?
Our lesson for the day is: Live in the moment… or end up as a Halloween decoration, wrapped around your neighbor’s tree.

The end.

… of an idea.

I finally got one, at the very last minute!
……………………………………………….

The Illustration Friday word of the week is “germ”.

With the Halloween season fast approaching, fraught with witch, ghost and goblin air traffic, Villiam is reluctantly forced into a holding pattern.

Happy October to everyone! The Illustration Friday word for the week is “pattern” and I’m just making it under the vire.

With a strong will you can accomplish just about anything.

The Illustration Friday theme for this week is strong.

Please cover your mouth
whenever you sneeze.

You know not what lurks
within that breeze.

Ever have one of those days?
