I met this bored-looking seagull on the beach the other day. I think he'd be pleased at being included in one of my pieces.

A Little Sketchy

My dad had a nasty fall and has been in hospital this past week and I haven't been able to give my creations much attention. So as things calm down again, I'm back on the computer. The first challenge that caught my eye was a challenge called A Little Sketchy over at the Order of the Opus Gluei. Well, you can't get any sketchier than a sketchbook, so I dug out an old one of my own, photographed it, and took it from there.

And Love Will Steer the Stars

Only old hippies will get this one (and perhaps a few folks born in February). A bit overdone I'm sure, but what the heck? It's what I was feeling at the time...

The heavenly bodies were all courtesy of NASA, but I made the stars myself.

Debbie's Note: The eggs were a brown egg from the fridge that I changed the color of and added the veins in another layer. The condensation on the egg outside in the heat made it nice and shiny, and helped with the stone effect.

Pick me! Pick me!

This is for the Anthropomorphism challenge at Collage Obsession.

I had fun with this one. I almost named this one High-Five-Biscus, but that would have been way-over-the-top cheesy.

Children are natural free spirits and much wiser than the adults they eventually become.

Deb's Note: I only noticed, after I posted, a terrible typo which must have occurred when I was in the throes of creativity and had gone a bit dyslexic. I was going to fix it, but decided that this was my inner child struggling with sentence structure.

The dove in the picture was a mama dove who nested in our palm tree a few summers ago. The raindrops were once clear marbles. Oh, and yeah, I knitted those fingerless gloves myself.
