Small Work and Big Step

Monday, while VolleyGirl was practicing, I went down the street to Starbucks, splurged on a venti size and sat myself in a comfy chair. Finally finished my second ATC (above) and started my next one (below). A dear BB (blogbuddy) is way overdue of receiving a package from me, these will be a part of that package. Hope to do more in order to trade.........finally!
Almost every day I check our city's art blog and today there was a call for artists at the recently voted "Best Coffee Shop" in the northern part of our state. They will display work from one artist each month. Thinking that would be a nice place to show zentangles and small drawings, I called and committed myself for the month of November. My plan is to finish the 'maytagaramas' and get some more work done. This will still be pushing it for me....but I often work best when 'pushed' ! VolleyGirl has been sick this week with sinus trouble. She missed her games Thursday and sadly didn't get to go with the team last night for a tournament today. It's a shame with all the hard work she has put in that she misses a time when they eat out and have fun together outside of the game.
BIGBOY IS HOME THIS WEEKEND...YIPPEE!!!

  3. Wow ATCs!!! That top would make an awesome large piece! Have fun displaying at the coffee shop. Do you get to put prices and try to sell there as well? Hope so, if that is your desire. Nice to be SEEN.

    Hope VG is feeling well soon, and you all have a great weekend together.

  7. I love that first piece.
    Good for you for committing yourself to that coffee shop- and sorry to hear about the daughter.
    Two of my kids (AZ. and RI.) are not at their healthiest right now due to sinus probs.
    Hope you are enjoying having your BB around!

  8. Yaaaay! I'm glad you're going to show your work again. You are so good. I especailly like your zents. And I'm really happy that you had a moment to yourself to have that coffee and play with art.

    Yes, it is too bad that you daughter had to miss out on that fun night. I have sinus trouble a lot and I know what a drag that can be.
