….day 145
I can’t believe that I haven’t made more art this summer. Last Friday Carla’s assignment involved taking a fat marker and drawing an object of our choice using a heavy line, a light or thin line and a quick line. We were to make a 9 or 10 quick drawings and then choose three that we favoured. I decided to draw tea cups. It was easy to do while I was at the cottage.
Now I have to enlarge the three pieces that I chose and do whatever I want with them.

After being away for three days I’m trying to catch up with Becky’s September Squares. These beautiful pink salt lamps were on sale at the ROM.
….thanks to Becky B for starting off September with a new September Squares Challenge
The theme for squares this month is ‘In the Pink‘ and the one rule as always is that your main photograph must be square.
My first entry is from the ROM in Toronto where I saw this ‘pink’ dinosaur. As you can see it wasn’t really pink, just lit with pink lights. My granddaughter wanted to know what happened to his head.

At the beginning of the summer I went to the ROM and took in a show called Iris van Herpen: Transforming Fashion. This wonderful designer creates fashion that is a form of art that is closely related to her and her body. Her garments combine the often friction-filled world of technology and nature. She pushes the limits of haute couture.
….the word for Word of the Day Challenge is patterns
Patterns are everywhere. Some are man-made and others occur naturally in nature.
