…to another page that I prepped earlier in the week

This page was a lot of fun. I really didn’t know how I was going to approach the marks that I had laid down but I remembered how I used to create birds from scraps of paper. I decided to use the blobs like I would paper scraps and the plaid below became a fence.

Here is what the original piece looked like.

It’s hardly the Seven Seas but the Great Lakes are big waters and when the waves come up it certainly reminds you of the ocean.

Someone Found Out That We’re Going on a Trip

…some of Kevin’s favourite characters have decided they want to join us

Tomorrow we are starting our trip to the UK. I’ve been prepping my blog and scheduling posts for the next two to three weeks because I’m not sure that I’ll be able to post any photographs while we’re on the trip. Even though I’ve deleted over 500 photos from my media page it still says I have no room for new ones.

I can still see other posts and leave comments (hopefully) but if I can’t I’ll catch up when we return May 20th. In the meantime here are Kevin’s friends all ready for the trip.
