I've been sick the past few days with a cough and a sore throat, and my step-dad came home two nights ago complaining of the same symptoms I have.  So then next morning, when I heard a kind of 'thunk-thunk' from the basement, I thought it was him tinkering around down there and paid it little attention for the duration of my breakfast.

Then, I ( Read more... )

Yeah, occasionally I post pictures of dolls.  They're not the 'Watch a story about my dolls and pretend with me" kind.  Mostly comparative and investigating their construction.  I've done two others -- Fulla, the Islamic Fashion Doll who came with an abaya and hijab, and Lagoona, a Sea Monster girl from the Monster High line.  They're here, on my ( Read more... )

Don't know how I feel about today's thing.  It's sort of the result of some of my polling of you guys, but the image this will be part of is more of that than... yeah, whatever, that's not going to make much sense.  What it boils down to is that I made this much too large and took way too much time on all this little stuff and I'm not even sure if ( Read more... )

Whew, this was sort of a tiring batch.  BUT here we go, today it's two watercolors.   One of them has come from polling the audience about what Jamie and the Doctor should do before Yeti madness happens!  One of these days, I'm going to have to start keeping stuff from you guys so the final book thing is at least partly a surprise/enjoyable.  After ( Read more... )
