having survived friday....
the temperatures soared, but a wee bit of rain cooled things off again. lovely weather just now.
today, this is my favorite book ever:
i picked it up at half price books. yes, it's a children's book for ages 9-12. yes, it was written by the robert kennedy. yes it's less than fifty pages long. but it has wonderful artwork, replete with battle scenes and (oh my gosh!) blood! and it uses the phrase "petty despotisms", which i think all nine year-olds should be well acquainted with, so it's my favorite book ever.
that and Joshua Chamberlain is just the coolest. right after George Washington, of course.
okay, enough of that pitiful fangirl dwibbling. i finally completed Eleison no. 5 today (and without a moment to spare!). the manolo says it is the superfantastic issue and you will all want to read it! official announcement to be posted later today or tomorrow, so stay tuned!
: D
for relaxation, then, last night i went to bed with my light box, a pencil, and some scratch paper so that i could work on dolls. and i did. and they're going to be cool. i am not posting the doll yet because she's just a scribble too at the moment and really not much to look at.
all paper dolls start life as scribbles on scratch paper. and i tend to save the scribbles because they make good templates for others things.
i haven't decided if this is the color scheme i want to go with, but it's likely.
happy sunday all!
