General Update: Woodland Alphabet, Collages, This and That

1. Woodland Alphabet - As I mentioned in my last general updates post, Wesley and I bought a scanner/printer/fax combo awhile back on a trip to Raleigh. Due to the ability to scan now, here are a few of the Woodland Alphabet series of calligraphy drawings that I had been working on off and on for a long while. I had more of these done and still have some half completed, but the other finished ones got messed up (um...really frustrating as they take awhile to draw -trust that there was much gnashing of teeth ha - oh well). The plan is to keep on with the method until I get all 26 letters and 0-9 complete. I plan to sell them as prints individually, on canvas with all 26 letters and 10 numbers aligned with no gaps on a square canvas, and as stationery. Despite the set back in the damaged drawings (about 4 letters got damaged), I am liking the way that they are turning out and am looking forward to keeping on with them.

2. Collage - I am still continuing gathering images for the piece that I mentioned briefly in my last update post, but here is a mostly completed, quick little collage study done on a 6x6 canvas panel. I want to attach a 2 inch thick block of wood to the back to raise the collage off of the wall and to give it a little more dimension when displayed. I may go back in with some paints too, but I need to go restock my paint supply before I do.

3. This and That - Cosmetology school is still going well but is taking a lot of my time of course. I'll try to post some pics of some of those developments all along as well, but I definitely need to update my flickr and such soon. That is one of the next things on my list, so be looking for a ton of uploads over there shortly as it has been forever since I have uploaded any of my photography jobs; it's purely shameful. I may share a few writing projects soon and will try to update and scan in more work all along as soon as I get a virus on my computer fixed today/this weekend. Until we meet again via ye' ole' world wide web, take care of yourselves.
