I’ve been hiding away here in the apartment with my cp’s having a hay day these last two days. I’m working on some projects, more like practice lessons this week.

My first lesson ~ take an egg (a white one) and place it on a cloth and draw it. I can’t leave the cloth flat as I want as many folds as I can possibly squeeze in. It’s so much fun playing with shadows, highlights and watching them dance about. But with this lesson, a white pencil is not allowed at all. You truly have to look at the color and shadows and deliver them to a white piece of paper. I’ll have to say I’m having more fun with eggs than I could have ever imagined. I’m learning so much and growing so much too.

I’m not going to share just yet but I’ll post the pics when the project is complete. I may need yet another week with eggs ‘til I get them the way I want ’em. I’ve already worked on two eggs today and I plan to pursue these, who knows, a series on eggs may be in the works.

As for my little toe, she’s hanging in there. As many times as I’ve stubbed my toes, I don’t ever recall anything as painful as this. Hopefully it will be up for some shoes soon.
