Off the Wall Friday

I have been waiting for this Friday to come around, not that I wanted the week to go faster because they seem to go fast enough already.  I was going to get up early and get this post out, but DiNozzo ate a piece of meat with a toothpick through it as

I was making jerky.  I threw him into the SUV, grabbed my cell phone, (mind you I was in pajamas still at 6 AM) and headed to the vet.  At the end of my driveway, he threw up the meat and his breakfast in my back seat, all over my rain coat.  So I didn't have to embarrass myself at the vet's because I am a bad dog mom.  The pajamas should have been evidence of my care and concern, right?

I will post the story of Frank in a separate post, it is like a tale of unbelievable proportions.  Poor guy.

I displayed my Nudes Bathing for the first time in public at the Fiber Group meeting on Wed.  They were well received and I got a lot of questions about making the leaves.  Everyone loved their  cute little butt cheeks!  LOL.  I got some suggestions about doing some shading on the butt cheeks, someone suggested make up (of which I have none) or a colored pencil (which I have somewhere around here......hmmm).

In my desire to create more nudes, I have put together a box, appropriately labeled NUDES.  The paint pen I used has a large flat part to write with, and I was upset that the paint was runny.  But look at it!  I love the way it turned out!   I don't' think I can do that again if I tried!

Anyway, I have started on several other nude ideas.  Anne of Quilting in the Desert and I are going to make purses with Nudies on them!  LOL.  I think I shall start on that project.

Here is the new light box, a welcome change from what I have been doing on the window, the storm door, the light box Frank made.  Have you ever tried to trace something from an iPad?  Fun. The picture moves constantly.  I was able to trace a nice nude, although need to work on a pen that has better results.

I can make several nudes and then create the backgrounds as I have inclinations.  I keep thinking of situations that they could be in.  Like if I had one sitting down, she could be sewing.  Or jumping and playing basketball.  Or at the beach.  The ideas keep coming!

I will warn you, though, if you google "nudes playing basketball" you get some pretty wild stuff!  LOL.
