Productivity is a Good Thing.

Yesterday morning = the perfect way to spend the first few hours of a Sunday. Ahhh, Sundays. Not a strawberry in sight...plenty of coffee drinking in flannel pajamas...hardy, home- cooked breakfasts...and drawing to my heart's content! What love. :) I drew allllll morning, and did not feel even an ounce of guilt. I felt very productive. For weeks I've been dying to do some drawings based on some of Kayleigh Morin's 365 project (Delusions of Grandeur.) The concepts for her photos are inspired; when I see her images, I'm filled with the need to create. This particular shoot was centered around the color red, and what emotions it reflects to the artist (you can read more about it in her blog.) I asked her if she would mind if I did some drawing versions, and she said she didn't mind at all! I'm so lucky to have artist friends. They help keep road blocks at bay by continually stimulating fresh thoughts. ^__^

These were the best photos I could get, since I still don't have the use of a scanner :/ I managed to get the inked versions to look decent, because they were in black and white with very sharp lines. I shall try to get my hands on a pretty little scanner as soon as I can, because I really miss having one.

DRESS STATUS: Last night I cut out all the pieces and bought my notions. And I found some AMAZING pairs of shoes that would be fab fab fab to wear with my dress. Not sure which pair yet. And if I do get them, I shall have to train myself to walk in heels. As of now, I stumble even in my mom's clogs. I am far to used to converse and running sneakers >.<
