A step by step of the process.

step 1

Starting with an acrylic background on the 8.4" x 11" spread.

step 2

I planned a face & originally to use security envelopes for hair.

step 3

But I picked up a blue paper scrap and just went with it.

step 4

Still no real idea in mind, just playing with paper.

step 5

Now she's starting to tell me what she needs?

step 6

Arms might be good.

step 7

Using a sewing pattern for the eyebrows. 

I could get another effect by lining with a marker, 

but have decided to use just paper.

step 8

My Aunt Martha was a wonderful teacher & artist, 

and on days like this, I feel her with me. 

I don't care if that sounds crazy ...

step 9

because this is nothing like what I thought I would do today.

step 10

 

 I like it. Thanks Aunt Martha!

Little rituals.

I have them and I bet you do too. Daily rituals, but today I am talking about monthly rituals. Since it's November 1st. I change my Terry Garrett calendar, a most wonderful gift from a great artist. Each year he sends me, and others, 12 art calendars that he has designed and I get to live with each art for the new month. This morning I changed October to November and made the month official. I have kept every month's art since 2014. A real treasury.

                        

           

  

   

The other first of the month little ritual is changing my desk calendar. I live by my desk calendar.

 

Luckily, Carole brings me a calendar each year. Thanks, Carole Suzuki

What are your little rituals? I'd really love to hear?
