A Life (Changing) Sentence!?

My new scanner is very blurry, so here's the text..

My model buddy lisa invited me out to a runway show for Vancouver's Eco-Fashion Week.  "It's fashion-y" she said. "Wear heels."  I wore this great little wool strapless Kenzie dress and vintage choker from my sister's closet.  The dress has an empire waist, front pleat and pockets.  I love pockets!  Then for the shoes.  I was deciding between these fantastic 4 1/2" slingbacks and my comfy stack-heeled everyday boots.

And then, from seemingly nowhere, the little voice in my head piped up and said "It's February, and you're forty-seven".  I zipped up the boots.  The show was great.  I loved Nicole Bridger (www.niclolebridger.com).

Still not talking to the voice in my head though.

May Colouring Book/EDM Challenge - Day 1: Shoes



  Thought I'd join in the 'May Madness' and draw the first 31 EDM challenges, one each day. I did this in Crayola crayons. I did the black line, colouring book version first, scanned, and then coloured it in like the good old preschool days. We were talking at dinner the other night about colouring books for grown-ups. I think that's what inspired me. I started out by cutting out paper to make a 31 page colouring book, totally forgetting that the black felt pen would soak through each page and the back side (and in my case the next page or two underneath) would be rendered useless. I'm so used to using good, thick watercolour paper in all my sketchbooks. Oh well, I can do these separately and stick them all together later. My intention is to stick with it for the month. Let's see how I do!
