Smaller and smaller - Sunday night

I had a few posts for IFN smaller and smaller. First I posted this:

because I recently looked at my hands and they just felt too small to be doing all the things that I want to do. Actually, what I need is a few extra hands - that would help.

I sat by the side of a river today, doodling and did these. Some computer addition, but since I am still a total novice at that it was more to say that I did it than having it add any value.

3 Joes whose neck keeps getting smaller and smaller as he gets older and crankier.



I did some drawings of acorns today also, each one smaller than the last. Fooled around with these also with photoshop (trying photoshop for dummies). I had added shadows to the original drawing but they were terrible so I erased them out. But - the moleskin has a tint to it and you can see where the color changes. Why do people love these moleskins so much? They are OK, as far as I can tell but if you erase hard on the paper it changes color and obviously there is a tint when you scan them. I might stick to the watercolor ones.





And the original one that I never posted either - I don't know what it is, but they get smaller and smaller as they bounce along uphill.

Hi Mim,

It wasn´t easy to catch up with the last 48 posts of your
blog, But finally I made it. Today I´m taking a little breakfast break before I´m off to the next round of shopping, planning and cooking for sukkoth.
I´ll have to plan 11 days, as during Chol Hamoed my daughter is having a birthday party, we´ll be inviting all the kindergaten kids to the sukkah and there is a German holiday too. I´m getting crazy already!
So I´m getting ready for this by reading your blog and relaxing. :)
