I finished up my final piece for the art swap. To read more about the other pieces I created you can read this post. After drawing the picture with ink, I thought it just didn't have enough punch, so I took out my pencil crayons and started adding colour.

Today the weatherman predicted a blizzard which means our island basically shuts down. I live right on the Trans-Canada highway which is usually plowed frequently. Today it hasn't been plowed at all from morning until noon when the first plow when past.
Some of my friends lose power and so have to plan ahead, but I usually have found that we are in a fortuitous location and I have the luxury of baking on storm days without worrying about losing power. I signed up for an art swap organized by one of my friends. I agreed to create three pieces of art and mail them out by a certain date.
Before I could even begin on my pieces, I had to work on another (secret) project with a deadline. That means that I didn't even begin until 7 days before the deadline... I know, I know. It sounds like procrastination, leaving things to the last minute etc. I decided to use the recipient's initial for their first name and create a personalized piece of art for each one. |
