Panda-monium

The other night I started drawing panda bears and could not stop myself. The first panda looked so funny just standing there I thought, "He'd look even funnier dancing, riding a skateboard, hanging out on the playground, and riding a unicycle." LOL! Was I right?













With this blog post I also learned how to insert a table. This is useful for posting images without taking a lot of space on the page. I'm still experimenting with this bit of HTML code but so far I like it. I just wish I could figure out how to get rid of that extra space before the table! Any coders out there? LOL!

Moms Got a Brand New Blog!

My Mom has a million great ideas. She's always telling me about a wonderful recipe I should try or about some strange trivia she found on the internet. I told her she really should start her own blog. It would be a fun way to connect with other bloggers and share ideas and inspiration. She said she might.
Time passed, nothing happened.

Yesterday I got an email "Check out my new blog!" Suddenly that idea I gave her started sounding a little scary. My Mom out in the Blogosphere. Telling stories about the crazy things that happen in Jasper GA, sharing all of her crafting adventures, telling funny stories about her kids when they were little. You see where this is heading don't you?

Yep, Mom has a scanner and she has a blog. Will she resist the temptation to tell those hilarious stories about my brother and I (complete with photos)? Too soon to tell. If you read this Mom, please don't post the picture of me running naked to the refrigerator...

Please visit Mom's blog and say hi. Encourage her to write about her craft work, cooking, her battle with Georgia Power, UFO sightings... Anything but me!

Traveling Between Dimensions

OK, that sounds like some cool new Sci-Fi mini-series. It's not. It's only describes me at the moment and my how my interest in art moves from sculpture to illustration and back again. While I'm away from home on the boat, sculpting and creating funny polymer characters can be a challenge. Lack of a workspace, a safe place to store unfinished work, an available oven, etc.... You get the idea.
Lately I've been drawing and painting; working hard to improve those skills. My old blog design didn't really work well for the new material I've been posting so I decided to give it a much needed face lift.

Now when I create things like this:


Or this:



They'll all feel right at home on my blog...



I've also added a third column, removed a lot of older widgets that were unneeded, added a few cool ones (like linkwithin) and made the page design stretchy to fill your screen better, regardless of resolution. Let me know what you think of my new design, I'm loving the change so far and always looking to improve!

Everyone Should Have A Best Friend

Someone to lean on
Someone to love
With arms wide open
You offer a hug
Someone to cry with
Laugh with and smile
Someone to make
Every moment worthwhile
When times get rough
And my world falls apart
You´re someone I run to
You offer your heart
From tearful shoulders
To stomach aching laughs
You´re someone I need
That's Something everyone should have
You´re the person who always
Shows me the brighter side
And I can always tell you
What I feel inside
Someone to be thankful for
Someone to never forget
You´re someone special I´ll always love
Are we BFFs? You bet!
