Last few weeks have been crazy, right?
Avoided scissors but did break out my stamps, postcard stock and a few colored pens.
The completed work will be sent to family and friends.

We have a tiny valentine from Daisy to Zuuli Julie! I’ll drop it on the porch once the rain stops!
Bones are the candy hearts of dogs, right???
by Captain Quillard
Thought I’d experiment with origami. Results mixed but not bad.
Newspaper article was about women being subjected to unrealistic beauty standards, but not sure that really comes through in the part that shows, so… let’s just call them pretty hearts. :)
Next Week’s Assignment:
Play with your food.
This week, make art out of what’s on your dinner plate. One rule: you can’t plan your meal with art-making in mind; just pick a night and use whatever you’re eating then as the materials for your art.
