The whole point of this response was Symbol. I got so engrossed in figuring out how the sidewalk and road woudl look htrough a window that I forgot to put the symbol in! I had to wedge it in at the last minute. I am still pleased with how this one came out.

I am really pleased with how this drawing came out. I did the red and orange first and thought the yellow wouldn’t show up, but the yellow made the whole piece. YAY!

This response really took me outside of my comfort zone. Linger was a really hard word. Who thought of that one? 😉 Also, drawing the body made me think I might need to switch to ATCs for my responses. We’ll see.

I had an hour on Monday and, still in cleaning mode, I needed to get that ‘C’ off of my desk. It was the bottom of the Leaning Tower of Paper Pisa and the Leaning Tower was not getting any more stable. It needed to go. I wanted it on the wall, so I just put it up. I didn’t look for a stud or make perfect other letters. I just did it.
When I arrived home from work, I immediately went down to the computer with the printer and printed letters that I thought might be big enough to see. The font ended up being 700 pt! I did try 800 pt and 900 pt, but they were too big and I didn’t know how to center one letter on the paper.
After printing one letter on each page, I cut the letters out and traced them on scrapbook paper.
This started a long time ago with a photo I saw via another member of the Creative Mom Podcast Circle and a photo that she posted. Then I saw more possibilities in Anna Maria Horner’s Handmade Baby book. I talked about it back in June or so. AMH’s are more fiber related. I haven’t done either, except take this first step. Immerhin.
Other ideas:
- I may put some paper behind the letters to make them stand out a bit more at night. During the day I can see them well enough. At night, they kind of blend into the life sucking beige.
- One could just print out letters on a sheet of paper and put them up on the wall as a stop gap measure.
- One could print out letters on fabric and embellish.

I had a talk with my mom, who has been a drawing teacher in her past, about wanting to learn to improve my drawings. My dilemna is that I want to learn to improve my drawings and I don’t want to learn what normal drawing teachers want to teach me.
My Young Man made some comment and my mom (his grandma) said that I had always wanted to learn this way, that I wanted to get into a topic myself with minimal direction and then get specific help. She continued that she thought that is why I had always been bored in school.
I thought it was interesting to hear my mom’s take on my life, even a small slice, and to hear her having this discussion with my Young Man while I was sitting right there.
Anyway, she gave me some tips, which I will try out. She also said that she could see the improvement in my work, which turned out to be a much needed boost to my ego.

Creative Prompt #86: Lines
Note from the Management: Please comment on whether or not you would like to see this project continue and why. Thanks.
Definition: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A representation of one line segment
Three lines — the red and blue lines have the same slope, while the red and green ones have same y-intercept.
In Euclidean geometry, a line is a straight curve. When geometry is used to model the real world, lines are used to represent straight objects with negligible width and height. Lines are an idealization of such objects and have no width or height at all and are usually considered to be infinitely long. Lines are a fundamental concept in some approaches to geometry such as Euclid’s, but in others such as analytic geometry and Tarski’s axioms they enter as derived notions defined in terms of more fundamental primitives such as points.
A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points and contains every point on the line between its end points. Depending on how the line segment is defined, either of the two end points may or may not be part of the line segment. Two or more line segments may have some of the same relationships as lines, such as being parallel, intersecting, or skew.
