#19 William Morris + inchies

hello!
finally i took the plunge to post some old doodles.as you see i got stuck somewhere at challenge 19 .
i still have some little drawings in atc format to show but it seams that time is not on my side.as we travel a lot in summer time to places where the virtual world is totally absent i always find difficult the coming backs.
beside these things i dedicate my little spare time to paper mache right now.it is good to have at least two hobbies you can jump form one to another when felling bored or overwhelmed.i'm having the paper period but as i start commenting again means that i am attracted slowly back to the black side of the moon ,lol.i'm exited then by the wide and various artistic material my tentacles reaches and my appetite groves again for taking the pencil instead of the paper pulp.
meanwhile i've opened an etsy shop ,finished a commissioned paper mache mirror -click here-or -here-and about 12 pairs of earrings,one bracelet,4 mini woodland creatures and started to paint a pm bowl.
that being said here are my little contributions:

see you,have a wonderful summer time!

pattern draw day

well,not today...but it was one of last weeks day when i made this new available atc.one lonely atc being the last days production....at the filling part two new patterns popped out from my pen.i just gave them a little attention now bringing in yours.they are v different and i can't tell you which one i like more.both my penchilds,lol so i guess i will take care of them equally.this is the responsible atc,blame the hedgehog if you don't like them ;)

and now tonight soloists 

drop strand against paper boats

take care,ildi

"something Blue"

week nr 12th challange is calling for a touch of blue..no problem with that,i love blue!
well,once again i had to smile reaching  the end of my little doodling.i never know what the string broughts to me ,shapes are getting "sense" during the doodle "process"...no struggling for a gorgeous outcome,lol.it is spontanious and that's why i love it! please beleive me i wouldn't have otherwise draw those big brests,lol...however they are beautiful in there voluptuousness and who doesn't love round forms ;)

now meet her,my molett mermaid lady in her way home,carrying goodies for the little ones...

how i made these two atc's

i don't want to teach you how to make atc's lol,you are better than me .i'm just showing the way i made these last cards.always loved the "how to" process at others so i thought maybe i could inspire somebody who never made such cards.just finished the "hearth" challange too but still trying to make something with an empty orb shading i find difficult to realise.so anybody would like to take charge an show me a "how to"pencil shade an empty orb????pleeeease :) (my best smile is here)

 still a picture is missing here,i just cannot find it anywhere and already erased the photo card..grrr...the missing picture shows how i thickened some lines here there...

the finsihed card is measuring 6.5 cm/10 cm just couldn't focus to cut right the card yesterday night and when it was ready i couldn't decide wich side to cut off so it remainde like this.almost atc :)
the next one,still same style

see you :)

yesterday doodles

yesterday night i fancy the watercolor pencils and i thought i may give a try to use them making a few atc's.
i must say that i'm not satisfied with the results,even cuted out the backgrounds of two of the cards and finally give up the wonderful pencils i didn't experienced before for some regular markers and just made my "regular" doodles that  were flowing naturally form the pencil. i thought it is easyer to make atc's but it is not.or i'm not at that level,lol...

the last atc is dedicated for Artoo, Laura Harm's baby who struggles with a bad cold in a hospital. i was thinking of him all the time and insted of the "heart" zt for this week challange i came up with this little doodled atc.i wish him all the bests,and strengt to his parents when there's nothing worse than you're ill baby....

collaborative cards

most of you dear followers already know Black Pumpkin over at TimlessRituals,we love her art ,we already know her addiction to ATC's and now i also already know that it can be contagious,lol...

i've met this abbrevation (ATC)about 6 months ago,checked it out but i didn't paid to much attention...untill Pumpkin made my fancy them. seeing her beautiful, funny,cute,obsessive little cards.
yet i was a bit surprised when i cutted them (6.4/8.9cm) i thought they were a bit bigger :)...

this and seeing another flickr friend's collaborative drawing with his son caught me in..
i always loved kids drawing,now my eldest son (almost 7)is showing his talent ...i'm amazed how easily he drew them (the monsters i've asked to ) and i can't tell you how fun it was completing the cards.we've made them on heavy glossy paper,using markers and pen.now i just wonder if i could seal them somehow. when i go out i plan to buy a copic marker (so we can draw on acrylics too) i just hope to find it in our art shop.i'm not familiarized to buy form the net.
untill then i hope to comlpete a few cards in these days as he has already drew them :)
ideeas flows further i will tell you later about ,now i present our first cards -9atc sized except the first one which is a bit bigger)

see you ;)

ps-thank you again BlackPumpkin for the inspiration!


recent m-am indragostit de atc-uri,a fost mai greu cu acceptarea dimensiunii standard de 6.4/8.9 cm,dar acum suntem pe roti...colaboram impreuna cu fiul meu cel mare de aproape 7 ani si ne distram de minune (mai mult eu).vom incepe in curand sa schimbam aceste card-uri cu prietenii, cunoscutii nostrii si straini din toate colturile lumii.
