DooDad Flowers

I started playing by drawing stem-like lines in gray on regular copy paper.  Then I drew the leaves  followed by the flowers (some odd).  Once everything was colored in, I cut out the drawn and colored part and glued it to black paper.  Changing the background to black was a great way of immediately creating contrast.    

Because this was a play effort, there was no planning of what it might be beforehand (aside from maybe flowers) or become - during the making process.  

What I really like is the red and pink jagged-edge flower with the center black dots over white.  It's gnarly and fun at the same time.  Many more together -- might make a strange and winsome 'garden'!

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.

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.

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'...
