dreams and wishes

when i saw the new DLP challenge to create an illustrated wish list,

my mind immediately went to this artwork i created 

a few years ago about a dream i have…..

because to me, dreams and wishes kind of go hand-in-hand.

but the funny thing about dreaming and wishing 

is sometimes you have to fulfill a wish…..

before you can move on to the dream.

so until then, there's a sweet little yellow house
somewhere in france that's waiting to be filled with lots of love…
and lots of chocolate.  :))

inspiration monday

have you ever found yourself standing

in front of two doors......

but you can only choose one?

on the surface,  they might look quite the same.....

 but the smallest changes (even with just a word or two),
can create an entirely situation.....

and inspiration will always reward you
when you notice the difference.

:))

(p.s.  now go out and make it happen!)



{this artwork was created in my walls notebook using pitt pens,
derwent watercolor pencils, graphite pencils, white uniball signo pen}

make a wish

i've been itching to get back to my stamp carving.  i'm SO loving it, and kind of wondering how much longer before i go from addiction on into obsession!  today i wrote out the word "wish" and started carving away...i'm still very much the beginner, but having oh, so much fun!!
