Sharpie Work on New Substrate

For last night's effort, I've directly applied Sharpies on a new substrate--Master's Touch Watercolor Paper (140 lb.), a Hobby Lobby brand.  Some of my Sharpies are getting low on ink and some have slightly worn nibs, but overall I like how the color went on and most was done with one coat.  I'm impressed with the paper.  There was a bit of bleed-through on the back but so slight it isn't important

The florescent Sharpies in this piece have a big role, and using the neon pink for the border was a last-minute decision.  It is a competitive color...competing for the attention of the observer.  That said, do you think it distracts from seeing the face first?

What I find distracting to me -- are the loops in the upper left because the colors don't work well together.  There is no flow.  I may have to audition some other colors to see if they could have made this area better had they been used.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
