I made two more corn husk dolls. As you can see, the one on the far right if the newest, since it hasn’t had time to dry yet.
I had way too much fun with these.

For one of Eden’s final school projects this week, we are making corn husk dolls. She made several yesterday. Today, I decided to make a couple more of my own.
I enjoyed making these a little too much, as thoughts of turning these into the subject of some sort of colonial voodoo doll ghost story started dancing around in my head.

And here is the full page of my latest art journal entry. Not sure if I’ll add any more to this later, but I have another idea I want to start on a new page.
Still, I really like the direction this took, especially the top sections.

I have decided that I absolutely love my library. If I ever have to move away from this library district, I will be heartbroken.
They let us check out Nooks for three weeks at a time.
I picked up mine today.
Inky Beasties by Taina Koskinen / Myrntai
While at night you oftentimes can’t see the things watching you from their hiding places among the shadows, Taina draws the otherworldly shades out (literally!) with Indian ink, Copic markers, and white gel pens. Though even on paper or behind your computer monitor, they still watch you…

Today, a tiny little black beetle decided to dive bomb me from the open window in the living room, bouncing off my forehead before landing in my sketchbook.
Guess what officially became my Venus Flytrap’s first meal.
And people wondered why I loved it when my husband gave me carnivorous plants for Mother’s Day.

Another close up of the abstract drawing I’m working on in my journal. It’s part of the same image as the last close-up I posted earlier.
Derailing My Train of Thought by Thomas Wightman
Says Thomas about this project: “The final book sculpture of my major project series. Like the previous two sculptures it uses a visual metaphor to convey the emotions of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and embodies my research by visualising an expression used by a sufferer of OCD. The expression was ‘derailing my train of thought’, because the person felt that the rituals they had to perform were disrupting their day. Where the compulsions and worry would side track them from doing everyday activities.
To convey this metaphor the sculpture shows a train travelling on a journey that has become disrupted, leading it to derail from its set path. Typography was used on the tracks for the title of the piece, also type was used for the coal. In the scene it shows the coal cart tipping over where the type has become mixed up to symbolise the mixed emotions during anxiety and panic”.

Since I finished reading the first Skulduggery Pleasant book, I couldn’t really wait to start reading the second book, Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing with Fire.

Close up of a pic I’m working on. I think this is going to be another image that will take me several days to finish.
