ALWAYS PLAY

Hello Everybody!

That’s exactly what I am doing this weekend. And Always Play is the title for this piece here.


Playing in and around Athens -- aside from a quick trip to Atlanta -- The Farmers Market at Bishop Park where I hope to see Rose Pringle, going to The Midnight Iguana for its 20th anniversary of being in business … seeing friends for Indian cuisine chased down by a slice of coconut cake at The Last Resort…

And in and around and up and down it all is none other than ART SHENANIGANS. (And four hours’ worth of work – oh yeah, I conveniently forgot that!)

Check out these ATCs and Envelopes I found at Hobby Lobby (thanks for the tip, Kitten! ). $2.49 a pop. Not bad.


The Assorted Pack has 12 or so cuts of all types. So far I think I like the Illustration Board best, but we’ll see. These should help me prepare for my tiny canvas…
Take care and batten down the hatches. Molly says, believe it or not, Autumn is on her way.

Get More of What You Love No Matter What,
Candace

A quick comment: love your drawing. Jumping rope without holding on. Great. Nice dog? A racer? - Jeanne

Wow it sounds like you are having a great time, I love the suspended jump rope of the soul.
We sell those are cards at my shop! Artists love them! You can create many sweet things on them as you always do!

Hey Candace! I hope you're having a great weekend doing what you love, and having lots of fun, like this little beauty jumping rope! Great drawing! I love that dress! Oh Molly...I can't wait for Autumn either!!! Hopefully, she'll be here soon. Hugs, Paulette :o)

That picture is great - I love how she is letting go of the skipping rope and just skipping through life on her own steam! (PS I had a good laugh at your Idea of Roughing It! Hahaha - that is it for me too...)

This is my favorite drawing ever. I love the suspended rope and her softness.

Hi, Candace! By the way ... did you see this post by Sarah Wallis of Circles of Rain? http://circles-of-rain.blogspot.com/2009/07/sketchbook-project.html

It talks about a very cool project called The Sketchbook Project which will be exhibiting in Atlanta! Thought you might like to know! :-)

Hello Everybody! Thanks for your comments and visits. It's always good to hear from you and see what you are up to, also.

Anne, thanks for the reminder about the Sketchbook Project. Can't wait to see all the works!

Jeanne, Molly is indeed an old American Greyhound ex-racing champ. She was rescued at the age of 4 with less than 24 hours to go.

I took away her racing name and gave her the moniker, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" for obvious reasons.

Shooooo, can you hold up a tad? Been in the bush for a while and my two brain cells are struggling to connect to therefore take in what's been happening?!?!?! Molly is sleek and divine by the by!
Hugs

Have fun playing!
I'll have to look for the 12 pack of ATC's at HL.
Thanks for the tip.
