Yay...I finally christened my Moleskin! I was feeling very child-like and whimsical today so I thought I'd go for that style. Just loose and scribbly! I used acrylic paint, colored pencils and alphabet rubber stamps. In case you can't read it, here's what it says.
"What's good today?" I asked.
"We have really good duck soup with alphabets." she replied.
"Okay, I'll have that."
Who knows where my head was...but I know this makes me giggle!
Alphabet soup...what a great idea. Sweet image....but I'm worried for the duckie...
ReplyDeleteAww.

I could go for some alphabet soup about now!
The alphabet rubber stamps make a terrific background. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love the whimsy with the Duck Soup... and the colors of the China Cove painting. Thanks for your comment and the congrats for the Merit Award! I'm curious, did you notice the posting on my Blog or from the Portfolios.com site?
