A STRESSFUL SUMMER

 The weather has cooled - it feels more like fall/autumn.  But it’s been a stressful summer all around.  

The online course I was doing ended with doing wrinkles - interesting.

Here are just a few I did.

AS IF I DIDN’T KNOW…

 I filled in an online questionnaire and it says I am on the high end of the Senstive Person scale, based on the answers to the questions.  As if I didn’t know.  But that explains that strong smells, noises, and too many people in a group talking are just exhausting to me.  Days filled with stressful situations wipe me out (even pleasant stress like family gatherings/parties) and make me so cranky until I have time alone again.  Why I often need time in my little art room, quietly creating something.  

How about you?  Are you a sensitive person?  Or are you on the other end of the scale?

If you want, check out the questionnaire here:







You don’t have to give them your name/address or any info unless you want to sign up for their newsletter.

JULY OVER ALONG WITH THE HEAT?

 Actually had a thunderstorm - for about 1/2 hour only - today and the temperature dropped until it was very nice for a change to sit out in the sunroom with the doors/windows open.  

Finished with beards and eyes in the online workshop - now on to wrinkles and I have a lot to learn about getting them right.

Was going to upload from photos but being told Google can’t access anything right now.  Oh, well, not that important.

GETTING CLOSE TO THE END OF THE WORKSHOP???

 And we’re doing eyes?  I would think that would have been the start of the lessons but, hey, whatever…

Beards and Eyes

(I do like the way the pastels and the conte crayons scratch across the paper, creating the beards!)

And I have one question:  Hot enough for ya???  It’s like an oven here.
