Didn't miss much

Today didn't turn out as I had hoped it would. And I ended up sleeping through most of it. I had hoped to get to see a friend, but couldn't get a hold of her. And I didn't have any other reason to go outside and freeze.

I should get off of here and go work on that. And also do some scribbling in my journal. I want to try and come up with a poem for my one friend, but haven't had any good ideas yet. I wrote her one a couple months ago, but it was really short and wasn't all that good, but she liked it.

I managed to finish the one drawing I did for my best friend's mother, I probably could have taken that over to my friend, but am waiting until I finish my christmas card to do that. And this morning I started working on a new idea, for this year's card art, which is the third change I have made. I usually only give out a couple of cards anyway, most people I just say "merry day and all that stuff" because I don't feel like giving them anything.

I also had a thought of how to do another self portrait idea. I read somewhere once that if anyone said they couldn't draw, they should try doing a self portrait, because those are the hardest to do. Or something like that. I told my pen pal from japan that last year and she drew one in colored pencil that looked almost exactly like her. Which was cool. I have done a couple of them lately when I have no inspiration for doing anything else. Some of them I like and others................

You made your own Christmas cards? That's cool. I made a few too. But then I found this really cool Gothic Christmas card site and ordered a few of thier cards too. I think I mailed off 25 cards last week. I really need to start earlier next year on my cards, they went out later than I had wanted them too.

I am still working on the final design of the card art for this year. I've already changed it three times. I usually only give out four or five, and only to those that I know will appreciate them, or have given me one already. I think this year so far I have only gotten four cards. I should have gotten the thing scanned and clored, if I decide to color it, but I started adding more detail to it tonight.

my husband helped me with a few of mine. He drew a skull and I put it on the front of 2 cards then cut out a santa hat and put on it. lol

I thought of going with just a skull in a santa hat, but changed that thought. Now it kind of looks like Frazetta's Death Dealer painting, with santa setting on Rudolph's back with a shield in one hand, and an axe in the other. Got to make it a bit more rough looking and then maybe i'll be satisfied with it.

That sounds really cool. Boy, if I could draw worth a lick I would have some really crazy cards to send out every year...lol
