Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, a talented blogger and author who writes mostly about her experiences with mental illness (in a really funny way), recently posted some so-called “doodles” and now we find she can make cool pictures too. I don’t have the skills to do what she does, but her style inspired me to try a couple of things.
This is a seriously fun thing to do with just a pen and paper. It actually turned into a kind of frenzy that lasted a couple or three days.
Here’s a question: do mermaids have bellybuttons, or do they lay eggs? I vote for bellybuttons because they’re sexier than glutenous globs of fish eggs,
You can see where I tried something in the upper right hand corner that didn’t quite work out.
Breaking Ground 
You drew those?! I would hang those up in my home! You are an artist 😀
I just want someone to color them in!
Over the years I’ve collected and framed some of my favourite pieces of artwork that the kids did. I had a floral watercolour that Brent did hanging in the dining room and a poster sized drawing that Aly did in grade one depicting what she thought heaven would look like. It was done in vibrant, primary coloured pastels (the medium, I mean). Something about the brightness of the colours made it seem so alive. It hangs in her daughter’s bedroom now ☺
Yeah, I love homemade art. It’s what we hang on our walls too -my MILs watercolors and acrylics mostly. And also some framed things the kids have done. It’s amazing what a nice mat or mount can do.
Amazing!
