As usual, I found myself sitting in my “death room” as Seth calls it, trying to come up with intriguing  ideas/things to sketch. Thankfully, I was talking to Amy on IM and she assigned me a theme for today’s sketching session; underwater creatures. Not usually a topic of my creative endeavors, but oh well. I could take a few minutes to humor the idea.  Here you are Amy, one of many majestic beasts of the deep.

As for my usual work/subjects, I started this last night.

Both of these are only 4 1/2 by 4 1/2. It seems to be the only size I’m comfortable with as the moment. They don’t  need a plan when I start them. If I start larger I tend to over think everything and they end up being less interesting, or unfinished.

Also, in the realm of sewing I altered a dress/smock thingy i got from a second hand store. It almost fits perfectly. There is a little bunching in the front if I don’t stand up straight. Other than that I am very happy with it. Nice for the summer, and is no fuss to wear (other than having to keep good posture.)
