Running out the door

Literally I am heading for the door. We are going to get the fabric for the spider body. I have it constructed. All it needs is the covering. That is my focus for the day. Once the costume is done my mind will be back into working on designs. I need to have the costume done by Saturday for a parade, another the Monday after and possibly one on the 30th and what ever events I can find too.

I do have an aquatic design today.

Crayfish Art
Nice little digital artist design!

No spider yet.

Thought I would have more done on the spider costume. Got to have it done soon! Will get the hoodie done today, my goal.

I have a honey bee today! Enjoy the weekend.

"Spinning" a costume

So far I got the body of the spider drawn up to scale, cardboard ready for cutting, the hoodie is pinned marked and ready for spider parts and eyes. I will see what I can get done today. I know I can get the head done. I am still trying to plan on how to "stuff" and cover the spider body. I will figure it out!

I like this design showcase today....

Red Fox
I like this illustration, brightened the colors and added a fun background. One of my favorites.

Today I have another bird print in my 14 image series!

Taco Tuesday?

Yes taco Tuesday today because that is my son's favorite! He did so well yesterday with his letters v - w - x and will finish his workbook the next session. He is picking up reading so fast and excited to learn!

Today I have the final sulky racing picture of the three image set.

Vintage Sulky Horse Racing Another cool image! I like the aging on this print.

Monday!

What a weekend, nice weather for October. Got the car washed, vacuumed and detailed (by me). Built some dinosaurs and started working on my son's Halloween costume. Of course he wants to be the scariest spider I can make him and they don't make scary spider toddler costumes so making from scratch. I got the legs and the black hooded sweatshirt. Need to construct the body and face. Need to have it soon, Halloween parade coming up!

Today a vintage match label to showcase.

Solo Sailing Ship Match Label
Nice label, just needed color correction.

Friday....PIZZA NIGHT!

Homemade pizza night tonight. I make a bunch, four large gluten free pies. We will be set for the weekend. I use Bob's Red Mill gluten free pizza crust. My method I get four large pies out of one bag (says only one on package!) I make thin crust so after all the toppings etc, it ends up to be a low calorie yummy pizza! Also number and math day for my son! He is breezing through his second workbook. His last workbook ended at number 12, this one goes up to 20. He loves it and we go at a pace that he enjoys.

Another parrot image from my bird series, they are quite cute!

Not much repair on this image, just color correction. Enjoy your weekend and will be back on Monday!
