A page from my sketchbook in the artsyville style...

Recharging My Creative Battery
My original intent for this post was to do an ICAD update, but instead I've come to a pretty big (and pretty scary) decision...
I've decided to "unplug", except for my behind the scenes work with EVA at Paint Party Friday, for the remainder of the summer.
Yesterday was Tyler's 7th birthday... If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you may remember me mentioning that we celebrate "Birthday Weeks" in the Dudish house. In the midst of the merriment I became a little bit wistful thinking about how fast time seems to be flying...
I was reminded recently (by a couple of wonderful blog friends) of how truly precious each moment is. So, as a result, I have decided to enjoy the school-free time I have with Tyler and savor each and every moment!
I'll be back, creative battery recharged, in September...
(I hope you will all still be here!)

Grateful
 |
| An amazing paperclay creation created by the talented and kind Stephanie Estrin |
I received the most wonderful gift in the mail recently and I just had to share! (How lucky am I?!?)
Stephanie Estrin (from the Creating Flow blog) has been creating some super cool paperclay pieces. She says she is new to the medium and that she is just playing and "getting her feet wet", but I think she has a real knack and natural gift for sculpting. (I can't wait to see what else she makes!)
Thank you Stephanie!!!
I feel so, SO grateful for the amazing community of artists I've met online that I now call friends. Because of that, this week I've decided to share a little blog love.

Another Weekly Round-Up!
This week was busy... Between end of the school year activities for Tyler, a memorial service for Corky, and my wedding anniversary, I knew finding some studio time was going to be a challenge. But, I was determined to stay on track with the index card a day(icad 2013) and doodle a day challenges.
So, armed with a stack of index cards and a couple of ballpoint pens (black and red), I created the following quickies on the fly...
But, wait! Before you look at this week's doodles, I feel I should issue a warning of sorts. Based on the frequency of Bob's eye-rolling and
"oh boy"s as he looked at my cards, I feel I may have really pushed the limits of pun-making.
Okay, you've been warned...

doodle a day june: "activity"

icad #9

Weekly Round-Up!
I have been having so much fun playing along with Daisy Yellow's Index Card A Day (icad 2013), and Ello Lovey's Doodle A Day June.
It seems that these prompts have brought out my silly side. And, my dear friend Tracey has issued me another challenge of sorts... She says that if I'm able to complete 61 of these punny cards, I will truly be the "Queen of Puns". Well, since I love puns, cliches, jokes, riddles, and basically all things ridiculous... And, since I have a hard time backing down from a dare... I say,
"Challenge Accepted!" (Get my crown ready, Tracey!)
In case you missed any of this past week's index cards, here is a "round-up":
(An elephant (with a trunk), wearing swim trunks, carrying... A trunk!)
If you want regular index card updates, please be sure to visit me on instagram or on facebook. Daily blog updates are seeming more and more unlikely (especially since I'm planning on participating in The Summer of Color at the Twinkle Twinkle blog).
Please stop by Daisy Yellow's to see what other artists have been creating for Index Card A Day 2013. And, to get the Doodle A Day June prompt list head over to Ello Lovey's blog.
Stay tuned - there's lots of summertime silliness in store!
