I really have been wanting to get another tattoo recently.



















I drew and watercolor painted this in my moleskine journal yesterday. I've been working a little bit more in my art journal which makes me feel so much better. You wouldn't think making little art pieces in that size in a bound journal would be so enjoyable. I love seeing my books getting filled and bigger. I know as the years go by I'll enjoy look in through them and seeing them stacked in a row on my bookcase.

I drew this picture after seeing this photo on flickr. I was practicing drawing with ink only again.



My throat has a weird icky feeling to it the last 3 days. I'm assuming it is allergies. Usually I only get bad around when the orange blossoms bloom. I wonder what is setting me off now. I think that is the only thing that would be enjoyable about living up north. Having many winter months with no allergies. Sure colds go around more when its cold it seems, but still. I hate feeling icky for no reason and just having it last. I think I might need to drink some hot tea with honey.

Today I'm going to go eat lunch with hubby and pick up more garage sale stuff. *fingers crossed it all fits in the SUV*

Thanks for stopping by!

Fantastic watercolour Gina, so well done!
I have yet to come to the end of my first journal but I love seeing it getting fuller and all the wonderful colours along the edge knowing I have less than a third to go is exciting.

ok i am ALL FOR you moving north!!!! (hint: NJ is lovely in all seasons!!!!!) :) :) :) except, yeah, we only have the pollen allergies in spring, but there's ragweed all summer, and leaf mold in the fall and god knows what in the winter. but YEAH i hate that allergy sore throat thingie the worst b/c you really CANNOT tell until the next morning if you WERE getting sick or if it was just allergies AGAIN. i am now taking claritin every day and i think it's better than just benadryl for symptoms but still...

btw the chicken painting ROCKS!!!!!!!! i am loving these ones with the ink base instead of pencil sketching! not that i don't love the pencil sketching ones too, but these have a sort of immediacy and a minimalism to them that is VERY VERY cool indeed! ♥♥♥!!!
