The completed goose egg has found its new home, so now I can share it. I was quite pleased, after years without practicing, at how smoothly this went. I really enjoyed working on this egg! I have several more in process atm, but I think I'll keep at least one going at all times from now on!

This egg is I think my favorite to date. I hope it turns out the way I see it!

Throwback Thursday made me think of the end of the year coming up so soon. I look back over my year in art, and this one still just sings to me. I think she's my favorite piece of the entire year. She'll never be for sale, because she lives on my altar now.

I set up a little contest on my facebook to get an interesting headshot of someone recognizable for the extra challenge. I picked this image because I thought it posed a few interesting problems. I'm looking forward to figuring this all out!

A few folks have asked me what I use for my newfound pencil addiction. This is what I keep in my little drawing bag. I wonder how it'll evolve down the road.

My favorite mother-daughter duo had me over to visit last night. Mom said I could play to suit myself, but the daughter (my Whovian hands from earlier this year) wanted to challenge me. "Can you do a galaxy?" she asked. I said "You want spiral, elliptical, dwarf, Seyfert, or how?" she got herself a quasar of her very own.
