Deer Trek - in our yard!!

It can hardly be a good sign for gardeners when deer are hanging out around our little city lots. They were quite a sight in the middle of the night/Friday morning though. While I saw the four deer, Dick only saw these tracks, but they do tell a story. We even followed them a bit in the neighborhood. They were headed up toward a main street.

Heritage Photos in the Snow

Snow is predicted to arrive rather soon. Not looking forward to that, but it seems like a good time to share two pages I put together recently. The first is my mother and me when I was a baby. It sure looks cold! The song was even written the year I was born. The second is Dick's Aunt Gladys as a young woman, maybe 1939 or 1940. Her grinning in the snow always makes me smile. She was a super lady.

Drawing #35 - Northern Delights

It might be something in the air that the new drawing has a bit of the holiday about it. My intent had nothing really to do with the season, but was influenced by birds we're seeing and a new tube of paint in alizarin crimson. I even like to say its name and could hardly wait to open it and spread some color. I've again dipped into my box of old stamps and used four versions of a Swiss stamp of a landscape. I both scanned and photographed the drawing, again the small sketchbook size. There is so much greater depth and brighter color in the photo version so that is what I'm posting here with its digital framing.

As always, click on the image to see it larger.

Drawing #34 - a better look

Before wrapping, packing and shipping "Texas Rocks" I took some quick photos to add to yesterday's scans. The photos show so much more of the texture and better color, so I thought I'd share the different look. You can see it wasn't lying quite flat, but it is still an improvement over the scanned version, I think.
And thanks to Deb and Helen for your super comments!

Drawing #34 - Texas Rocks

You could take the title in different ways, but I refrained from writing ZZ Top in the drawing and stayed with the literal version because this was designed for a geologist who lives in Texas. Since she doesn't follow this blog (or even know about it, I think) I can post it now for the rest of you to enjoy. The collage elements come from a photo with a rocky outcropping of mountains and a map of Texas from an old atlas. Ideas for this came to me all at once and just about drew itself. I'm also grateful for a Sharpie paint marker that I recently found. It goes over everything very nicely. I've used it some on the larger piece that's in the works. The image of this one is about 5 x 8 inches.

As always, click on the image to see it larger.

To Be Bold, Brave, or Fearless

A quote challenge this month had to feature being bold, brave, or fearless. There were lots of amazing quotes, but I found one attributed to Coco Chanel that really caught my attention. She was certainly one of a kind and the message was: "The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud."

Essence of Autumn Sun

A happy photo of sunny flowers hosting a small skipper (butterfly) appealed for last week's AnnaLift. We were at the Philbrook Art Museum gardens last year where I took a lot of photos. The weather has changed in the last few hours, trying to give a dusting of snow, so this sunny page is the perfect antidote. Hope all who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday had a wonderful time doing so. I have so much for which to be thankful. Sunny days are sure among them.

The Spirit of Summer

The song keeps running through my mind as I look at this page. I created it with a summer photo shot into the sun. I took a Digi Dare challenge to use silhouettes to make something of it and wound up with the idea of the song, (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay. I did this last month but it and the pelican page of this month look like they could be close friends. Be sure to check out the YouTube video for an original Otis Redding recording. Listen while you look and dream of summer.

____________________________________
Digi Dare #295 called for extractions of people turned into silhouettes plus brushes/textured overlays with text and a fun alpha for the title. I've used the title and final lyrics from the song by Otis Redding. It wasn't a good photo, but this technique allowed something nice to happen with it!

Inspired by Pelicans

I really have been creating scrapbook pages for various challenges, but never seem to get them posted here. Two recent ones I really like celebrate the migrant American White Pelicans we saw on our recent visit to Oklahoma.

Drawing #33 - Riding Glory

I began this one long ago in the small format of my 7 x 10 inch sketchbook and finally finished it. I love the excitement and motion that fill it. Do click on the image to see it larger.

If you are interested in the origin of my drawings, you might want to call this "An Exuberance of Chocolate" as the collage elements feature the wrapper of a bite-size Special Dark chocolate bar by Hershey's that my sister regularly stocks up on. Anything chocolate (especially dark) has to be cause for celebration! On the other hand, Dick sees an eruption of a flock of birds, possibly rosy finches.

Birds Have Wings: Art Journal page

We have an art journal challenge this month and for the first time I feel like I really got into the concept to create something personal and fun. Using a bird theme was part of the greater success I'm sure. "Birds Have Wings" is something we say when an unexpectedly rare bird shows up. It is true in both a literal sense and figuratively. I used a letter-size page (8.5 x 11 inches).

Images of Autumn

Both new and older photos of autumn scenes have been the focus of several new pages. First below are wild flowers called New England Asters that I love. They are also popular with bees and butterflies. Second is a picture of a dead tree that was apparently split down the middle, the two parts falling opposite one another, with the middle now home to a vine, its leaves turning color. Last is a beautiful scene from two years ago.

Faces of Family

This week's AnnaLift was inspired by a beautiful page of photos of the ages of a man. I chose to interpret it with photos of my great-great-grandfather, his sister and three of their cousins. Their faces show a strong resemblance. I used the same pictures along with those from other generations in an earlier page here, but much prefer the design of this new one.

New Family History Pages

This month we had a Theme Challenge for family history and a question we wish could be answered. I used a postcard I recently bought on eBay of the National Soldiers' Home in Milwaukee. It reminded me of a puzzling bit about the daughter of my 2nd great grandfather and his second wife.

From my husband's family I decided to use a photo, possibly from the 1950's, of his Aunt Alice and UncleAl. I had a wonderful time playing with elements to create the cluster from a tutorial just posted.

Last Days of Summer

September 12th and 13th were the last really warm days here. We made sure to get out for a little birding to soak it up. We encountered quite a few fall migrants in the process including a Hooded Warbler one day and Philadelphia Vireo the next. We saw numbers of Chipping Sparrows and Swainson's Thurshes. Lots of Gray Catbirds were enjoying the berries on pokeweed in Lake View. We didn't see much in a brief tour of the lakefront, but did see a Green Heron, Northern Shovelers and Blue-winged Teal. Lovely memories of warm days and passing birds.

Old Bird Pictures in a New Look

I've recently scrapped new pages for old bird photos and an old drawing. The first is of an Ivory Gull in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. My BIL found this arctic species on Lake Erie on the 17th. My photos are from the 18th of December 1975. This is still one of my most special experiences. I've used the photos before, but really like this treatment a lot more.

The next one is of a White-tailed Tropicbird where they nest in Puerto Rico, a photo Dick took in 1996. We've also seen them in Florida. We both think tropicbirds are so fabulous! I called it "poetry in flight."

Most recently I was inspired by the eyes of a child in an inspiration page to use an old drawing. I settled on this favorite of a Red-headed Woodpecker from a page of them in an old sketchbook from 1984. I got to use this one as the basis of the cover illustration of a local bird publication.

Favorite Teachers

There's a special topic just now on school days. One question asked was about favorite teachers. I did pages for my top two favorites and just have to post them here as they went away with the former site.

Here is my current post: I've done pages for two favorites teachers. One was my 2nd grade teacher who was so kind but still got us to work. Then there was my math teacher who taught three of my four years of high school math. He encouraged me and pushed me to apply to a summer math program & I got in. It was wonderful. One other teacher stands out as special. She taught 9th grade general science. She made everything so very interesting.

Panoramas, another make-over

The camera challenge this month at Oscraps is to create a panorama with at least two photos. I did one with new photos, but wanted to tackle a makeover of an old one too. In part I wanted to tell more of the story on the page. As a result, you'll really have to click on its image to read the text. Here is the new version.

Stop to smell the roses

Tonight instead of looking at the roses outside the parking garage as we went by I stopped to smell them and take their picture to celebrate a birthday for an online friend.

Summer Sail Redone

This week there is another makeover challenge with a summer theme. For some reason I really wanted to work on a page from four years ago of a sailboat on a July evening. At the time this is what I said about it: "After working hard all day we took off for the lake this evening and saw lots of interesting birds and this sailboat heading into the reflected sun on the water." The new version slightly reminds me of Turner watercolors and their "tinted steam." Here are the before and after versions.

Treasured Childhood Memory

A journaling challenge this month calls for a treasured childhood memory. It made me think of a really superb experience my parents provided when I was ten. The took me by train (my father worked for the railroad) to Utah and Colorado, fabulous places for a flatland child. Their goal was a national iris convention in Salt Lake City but we did lots of other things. All these years later the sights and memories of that trip are bright. They also gave me my very own camera as a birthday present shortly before the trip. I've scanned some of the snapshots from that camera for my memory page. Don't forget to click on the image to see it larger.

Another Beautiful Iris

Yesterday's dedication of the Willott Iris Garden was extremely nice. It was a bit overcast but bright and never got as hot as expected. A large number of people, not just relatives, attended. My sister looked lovely and everyone was gratified. The iris society exhibit was then opened in the green house building. Though many iris were through blooming, there were still lots of gorgeous iris present as specimens and in the flower arrangements. One flower intrigued me in particular. I've used its photo in this week's AnnaLift.

Iris Garden Dedication Today

The dedication of the memorial garden is in an hour. I made a page about it with photos from last week. The iris bloomed so early this year, I'm afraid it won't be as beautiful today. But it has been a lot of work by a lot of people to make it all come about. My BIL would be so pleased!

Wedding 1940

So many things came together for this one. Helen's new kit Nostalgic Scrapbook (Retro Designs) had me eager to create a heritage page. Another scrapper created a cute freebie template that I wanted to use with it. We recently were given a copy of a wedding photo in which one of Dick's aunts was the bride. The wedding was in 1940, a year much on our minds as we are among the many thousands of volunteers currently indexing the 1940 U.S. census. And last, I am providing some genealogical research for the people involved with a collection of wedding garments that will form a fascinating display beginning next month at the historical society..

"Sandy" Revisited (from October 2008)

It was all Deb's doing, I believe. A long time ago in October 2008 we were asked to pick an object to be our prop or "avatar." Then we took photos including that object and scrapped them. I think a certain number of pages were required. Here is the intro page on mine plus two of the pages including her and one of her Oklahoma "cousin." You can click on the images to see them larger.

           

Laj, I believe yours was left behind on your travels though later returned. As a result you didn't get to keep up with the challenge. Helen, I don't think you had to participate. Deb can chime in any time with her memories of the event. I don't have the designer details for these alas.

Different Styles: a Make-over

Would you like to see a traditional scrapbook page done in an "artsy" style? Anna's team has challenged folks to take a previous page in a traditional style and redo it using Anna's methods. I chose a page that I really love from the ending days at D-P when we were all scrapping cows for Nelleke. I used Retro Designs, mostly the kit Scraps of Memories. It is elegant and very fitting for this heritage topic.

Still, I was sure these bovines would enjoy a romp in a different setting as well. I kept the photos about the same but went to town with the artsy goodies. I also left out the humorous comment and covered up the little images of then avatar "Sandy" (only old-timers from D-P will know what that's about). I think the result is just about as much fun and certainly a different look.

Drawing #32 - Tiger Junction

I'm delighted with the latest large (16x20) drawing. For a mental landscape, it looks rather like a physical landscape as well. Do click on the image to see it larger.

I saw it as being an interface between two states, or a junction. The majority of the collage material is the label in my bread, a multi-grain loaf from a local artisan bakery. I couldn't call this multigrain, but it does contain the letters TIGR, hence the name. It doesn't really have anything to do with tigers and certainly shouldn't seem threatening. I look forward to all your wonderful interpretations as always.

More Joy in Scribbling

I'm working on my big drawing, but just felt a need for a quick outlet while listening to an online session. I turned to the Scribbler that I dabbled with a while back (see here.) I've done a new scribble and think it looks like a glow in space. It was very fun to do.

Thanks for everyone's comments on the drawing using the stamps. I'll definitely revisit that source of collage.

Drawing #31 - Gardens of 20 Centavos

Hooray! At last another drawing is complete.

 Many years ago my brother-in-law and I bought a mystery shoe box at a stamp auction. It was salted with some nice things, so worth the (small) price. Mostly it was filled with a large quantity of common used stamps from around the world. I've been thinking about them as collage material and have used five examples of one stamp in this drawing. It is a 1950 stamp of Mexico in the value of 20 centavos and pictures the Puebla cathedral. If you're into stamps, its Scott catalog number is 860. I used one copy intact but the other four are cut in various shapes. Remember to click on the image for a larger view.

Spring Thoughts of Nesting Birds

I've been wrapped up in genealogy work and a three-day conference here last week, but I did do some pages and a special bookplate too. Today, though, I did a new page for the AnnaLift of a photo of Dick's that I don't think I've ever done before. It is of a Semipalmated Plover on its nest in the tundra outside Churchill, Manitoba. That is in the far northern part of the province on Hudson Bay. You may know it as a place people go to see polar bears. We were there in June of 1980.
