Flour Vintage Container

Joining Sunday Sketches with my latest entry for the Sketchbook Project 2012.

My theme is Encyclopedia of ... and I am including sketches of things I and my family collect along with thoughts about these collections.

The first sketchbook I sent in was with my originals.  This time I'm keeping the originals and printing the scanned drawings onto the sketchbook pages then adding color.

This is very sweet, Juana... I like seeing your handwriting... and the added pink tugs at the heart. Yes, what was in the flour container, anything? I like containers like these. I suppose I like outer orderliness... that maybe it might inspire some inner collectedness. ;o) Happy Week, Juana ((HUGS))
These are great! I love them and adore vintage containers like these as well. LOVE going to the local flea markets to see what I can find. :)

Thank you for joining us again. Hugs

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
