Wild Abandonment Blog Hop

Hi, hoppers! The best thing that I got out of this class was the idea of SKETCHING. I draw, don't get me wrong. I draw all the time. But usually it's right in my journal or on the wood I want to work on. If there's something to erase, I erase. If I decide I hate it, I erase it all. But to just open up a sketch book and let all the uglies get done at once, that was sort of a novel idea for me.

I sketched these fairy ideas for the Fairy Class at La Petit Academy, of course. I was in class and everyone else was studying for a midterm. I figure by the time we're taking the test, it's too late to study, so I amused myself with fairies while people who have only come to class once all semester tried to make up for that in fifteen minutes. SO funny.

Anyway, I enjoy this. Sometimes I sketch my day out in little rectangles, or sometimes an idea that just won't come together. Sometimes I make notes and brainstorm stuff. Anything GOES in here and it doesn't have to be "company ready". No one cares what things look like, not even me. It's just a place for all my ideas.

So, you should have come from Ashley's Art Closet and be heading to Seasonality. If you're NOT hopping but you'd like to see what the heck I'm talking about, you can go back to the beginning and start there.
