Latest art journal pages…just some experiments. I saw some wood glue & my laundry room & got curious…picked it up and used it on the pages to see what would happen. All part of the learning & exploration process of art.

I’m bored.

I have a puking kid.

I don’t feel like cleaning the bathrooms.

Thank you, Blogthings.com, for giving me some meaningless entertainment. Did you know that my Pimp Name is:

Your Pimp Name Is…

Foxxy Skillz

Kind of appropriate, considering my affinty for Napoleon (I got skillzzzz).

The workshop list is up for Art Unraveled 2006….I want to take two classes (well, actually, I want to take more than two, but, ya know…). I’m sending in registration tomorrow for Creating a Visual Memoir by Lynne Perella, and Uber Self Portraits, by Traci Bunkers. Yipee yipee yipee yipee.

Speaking of self portraits, here’s my SPT. I’m continuing the "I’m hungry" theme. I didn’t mean for it to be out of focus, but I like that it is.

Here are my PADs for yesterday and today. First is Cole, second is Curt, the current poster boy for the stomach flu. Isn’t cleaning up barf the best??

…you can get your very own fetus puppet. I’m not making this stuff up, folks! I’m intrigued and slightly nauseated by this. What’s next? (FYI, found the fetus puppet on this site.)

My PADs have been lacking, I know. I took some lame pics on Friday & didn’t post any…then slacked off over the weekend. I’m back on the bandwagon today, though. I’m waiting for the sun to go down a bit, then I’ll whip out the D70.

Wow, twice in one week. I’ve been art journaling to keep my mind off my hunger.

This page was in response to the "searching" prompt from the Art Journal Challenge. I did the central image with an inkjet image transfer (using gel medium).

Finally, an art journal page. The prompt was "positivity."

I’ve got an art journal page about 1/2 done. YAY! I’ll post when I’m finished.

I woke up with a sore throat…and a feeling of dread. I had a sore throat last year that was so painful that I’d rather have a baby than have another sore throat like that ever again. I was gargling with chloroseptic, but it didn’t help. On the plus side, I lost weight because I couldn’t eat much. Anyhoo, I really don’t want a repeat of that sore throat. Misery.

Yesterday’s PAD (the B&W version…I posted the color version at ScrapGal):

Thought it was appropriate to photograph myself and the fridge, since I am STARVING.

[Note…I can’t get any more pics to upload today…will upload two PADs tomorrow, I guess.]

Today is Self Portrait Tuesday, but it should be Self Portrait Nada. I took a few shots, but ugh. I’m not feeling creative, not really feeling this theme. Plus, I’m hungry. I started counting WW points (again). Counting the points is fine, but I always mourn a bit. I mourn that I’ll never be able to eat like a normal person again. Chips & salsa? Only if the chips are baked…and then you can only eat 12 chips. Eating out? Have to order a salad. Chocolate? Sure, you can have chocolate…but those 5 points of chocolate could be a turkey sandwich, and you’re freakin’ starving, and the chocolate just isn’t worth it.

I still have to do PAD, too. I’m waiting until my big boys get home from school so all my PADs aren’t of CJ.

On the art scene, I gessoed a few pages today. That’s as far as I’ve gotten. If my mojo is at your house playing, will you please tell it that it is time for dinner and send it home??
