My First Entry in My Walls Notebook...

By now, you've probably noticed that I've been blogging less...I gave some consideration to letting it go all together, but I really do enjoy it. At the same time, 3 times a week was getting a bit much with my commitment to my future dog guide puppies, warmer weather and life in general.  So, I've decided that I will post once a week, and more if I have things I want to share. And so, let's get on with it.

I've been playing in my new Walls Notebook...

Children's books in general, but especially Dr. Seuss books, are wonderful sources of some fabulous quotes. I've always liked this one from the book Oh, The Places You'll Go. When I was flipping pages in the Walls Notebook for a suitable page to write it, I found this one with the 'walk' sign and thought it was perfect.

 A little bit of pen work...

And some colour and shading...

So if you're feeling stuck, to quote Dr. Seuss, "Get on your way..."

"Water" Travelling Show...

As some of you may remember, my piece, Ode to Dr. Seuss was accepted into the Threadworks juried fibre art show earlier this year. It was also was selected to be part of the travelling show.

These photos were recently shared with me, showing the exhibit as it is displayed at the Temiskaming Art Gallery.  I must say it's pretty awesome seeing my work hanging in a gallery!
