Foxy

I wrote this post last night, and thought I hit publish...but in a sleepiness-induced haze, I apparently hit save instead...so hopefully it will still count as yesterday's post and I've got one more chance to win the class seat!  Anyway, here's the post:



This is the last post for the Blogalong with Effy.  I had a lot of...incidentals...come up, and I wasn't able to achieve all 30 posts in 30 days...BUT I did post a lot more than I would have if I hadn't committed to try.  So YAY!  I've thought about the fact that September has 30 days, so I may undertake my very own version of 30 posts in 30 days and try again...it can only contribute to me being a little more consistent in my posting, right?  I kind of like that I live in a world of infinite do-overs...

And because I am a glutton for challenges, I am REALLY excited about this (If I did it right, you should be able to click on the picture and it will take you to the site...If I did it right...if not, I know the button in the sidebar to the right does work...):


29 faces


It combines my INTENSE OBSESSION with faces and my love of challenges I will probably fail at! (Haha!)  Seriously though, I am super excited about getting all that face practice in...so even if I don't manage to make 29 faces, I'll still be happy I got the face practice in!  And since it happens to coincide with my do-over 30 posts in 30 days, be prepared for lots of face related art posting in September...

In the meantime, here is what I got done today:


"Perhaps that sly fox had not come to steal her heart away."

Yes, another page in Gregg...I am really liking Gregg so much...not that you can tell... *eye roll*  His beautiful journal-y self makes me ridiculously happy...  This anthropomorphic fox also makes me happy.  Big words like 'anthropomorphic' also make me happy.  Not having to work at my day job for the next three days makes me VERY happy!

I'm saying goodnight at a happiness high!  Happy squishes for you all!!!

  1. I LOVE the word anthropomorphic! I love words...it's a "thing" with me. I keep a dictionary next to my chair when I read. Of course, now I can just look words up online. SO much faster!
    Great post! I'm doing the 29 faces, too. We can cheer each other on!

    1. Thanks Raine! I love words too! Don't laugh too hard, but I keep a dictionary (and a sketch book...I SAID DON'T LAUGH!) in the bathroom! I actually get quite a lot accomplished in there! (haha!)

      I'm so excited that we're both doing the 29 Faces challenge! *SQUEALING WITH EXCITEMENT*

  2. Oh I love this fox! And am very excited because I am going to do the 29 faces thing to. Tried to make the link post on my blog, but didn't do it right I guess. Will research that. But figured, why not try since I am practicing faces anyway. :-)

    1. Thanks Shirley! I am so happy that some of my favorite people are doing the challenge too! I had to play with it a little myself...but the lady does have instructions for how to do it somewhere on the 29 Faces website...I found them after I figured out how to do it! I can't wait to see more of your faces! <3

    1. Thanks Boo! I had to give him pants...wouldn't want to see any fox bits! (haha!) I've always wondered why they gave Porky Pig a top and no bottoms...clearly he's a boy, and you wouldn't be offended by a topless man...but he's got a top on with NO PANTS?!? He just looks like a crazy person!!! :)
