crop of another bird journal page...have you gotten sucked into scribbler yet? i linked there from facebook one day and really had fun but there is another hour i'll never get back...i decided to add those same sketchy kind of lines to my bird...
...i have a .5 mm mechanical pencil that i've had since college...love that dang pencil so i've been using it all week, for my bird and for
altering some more scrap book paper...i'm thinking easter egg cards...i even had so much fun with the repetitive pattern green paper that i had to snip bits and write down what i did...i cut the pages into 6" x 6" squares, worked on them with my pencil and paints, then slipped them into a sheet that was 6" x 12", folded...a way to keep them together...you have to move fast with this paper, it's very absorbent so you just add the color and move on...if you try to work it too much, it will glob up and wear a spot right through to the other side...but it was a fun way to play this week...i was a bit unnerved to find that my Hafiz writing for today had this to say...
SELLING YOUR ART
At the very least you are a vital cell in a
cosmic holy body.
And everyone works so hard, no matter
what they do.
There is no place for you to go but onward
into a greater freedom.
The poor man rarely parties because of so
many cares. We should put an end to that.
Knowledge can be pawned for a good sum.
Find some truth and mix it with your talents.
If you can get the balance right between you
and others, and you and death,
shops will start selling your art.
And maybe even a masterpiece you will
become, your every gesture.
