I did get a lot done... I ever cleaned some... and played a lot... and then I even got rid of some things in my studio... and cooked a lot... and then played some more... and talked with my husband more than normal... we are always talking... but we got into some really major things this time... and it was really fun and good...
So on the flip side.. the withdrawal was a fun time as well...
So here is one piece that I did...
It is for Artists Play Room challenge...
LOL... After lunch, my sweet hubby wanted to show me the okra plants... how pretty they were... so we took a quick ride over to see them... and so when we came back I decided that I had better get to work and finish my journal page for today... so I added some OKRA... okra flowers that is... the leaves and the saying and the snail were all there...
Anyway... my page... I do feel that each one of us has a wonderful gift... and not everyone has the same gifts, feelings, knowledge, or ability... so we must be ourselves and enjoy what we have... Row with the OARS we have!!! And not be jealous, envious or desirous of what others have or are... BE ME... So this is just another way of saying that..
The paper was made with putting some spritzed inks onto my work sheet... (it you don't have a work sheet... do yourself a huge favor and invest in one... they are worth every penny you have to pay for it...
They allow the inks to really smear all over and you pick the inks up with your paper... so wonderful... you mix the inks on there too... just a delight to use...
I colored my drawing with just plain old colored pencils... they are not water color pencils or anything... just regular colored pencils.. .they were lonely and I hadn't used them in so long... so I used them... and love the effect I got with them...
The leaves are larger than a dinner plate... and I wish I could figure out something to do with them... the chickens will eat them when the plants are finished providing food for us... but until we are keeping the leaves on the trees... LOL.. .
Mmmmmmm ....
So that is my journal page for today... and tomorrow is another day... right???
I also published about another 200 cards or so... so take a look and see if you need any... if you don't maybe you know of some people who would love to buy some hand made cards... I have the prices low on these... as I have to make room for more art... so please help me out... Thanks a million... word of mouth is the best way to find people on line... right???
Thanks again... and hope that you have a super nice day... and play hardy and enjoy it all... Thanks also for stopping by for a visit... sometime you will have to stop by in real life for a cup of tea...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had computer issues! I know when mine died over a year ago, I had a panic attack...how was I going to stay in touch with my friends, how was I going to pay my bills, how was I going to survive without my lifeline to the world???!!! lol I raced out and bought a new computer the very same day. Yes, I'm an addict to technology. lol
I'm glad your computer's condition wasn't too serious.
Your journal page is delightful! How pretty the okra flowers are! I've never seen one before.
Btw, I know I owe you an email and hope to get onto that very soon. I've been busy trying to catch up online after my surgery. Just over three weeks now since I had it.
As it's Friday already here, I'll wish you a happy weekend. :)
Love, light and peace to you,

Bonnie, I really enjoyed reading your post. Are you living voluntary simplicity? Do you grow all your vegs and raise all your meat etc? How does one learn this? I planted about 10 veggies and only my tomatoes came up. I really need, financially, to do this. I would never never guess Okra looks like this. I am SO glad you took these pics. They are absolutely gorgeous and so is your rendition of it in your art. I didn't know your thing is a snail. I love that! Mine is the ladybug (tatoo) etc. one day I will email you and tell you why. I love looking at your art. It is always different. I hope you and Glenn are doing well and that whatever had you off course is on course. I am so glad you and Glenn talked and talked and made fun! Yes, each day is a new day (thank G-d!) Please write me and tall me how you are. You are special in my heart. I hope you know that! Love Samara. p.s. much is changed in my own life I would love to share.
ReplyDeleteSuch a delightful page. X
ReplyDeleteAdorable snail
ReplyDeleteI had no idea okra grew so tall. Well, not much idea at all about anything to do with okra. Not even sure I've ever eaten it, but it has pretty flowers. Love your journal page. Glad you got the problem fixed. I am always shocked at what it feels like to suddenly be cut off online. Have a good weekend. :)
