The Will To Draw: Pastels
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2015/04/pastels.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. If you are like me, you enjoy experimenting with different mediums. I decided to try using soft pastels after watching Lynn Chapman. All in all it was quite enjoyable, and I plan to do more in the future. Below is the video of Lynn creating an illustration in pastels. Posted by Tom Barrett. Hey Tom, nice illustration. When I was in art school we used spray fixative to keep the dust down, and create hard edges. Glad to see you are still drawing, and blogging. 8/1/15, 12:51 PM.

The Will To Draw: July 2014
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Yes, though it may seem that I have once again left the blog-o-sphere, I am still here. I have recently found the time and will to begin working on some art, albeit small and quick and a bit messy. I say messy as I did not stretch or tape the watercolor paper prior to working on it, which makes it a bit difficult to work on the more it curls! I can already tell a difference in my attitude since I started back, so I am looking forward to doing more. Posted by Tom Barrett.

My Wee Blether: July 2014
http://myweeblether.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 4, 2014. Almost 56 years ago. I always like to reflect on my birthday. I've never been one for a big show, and when I am alone and pondering, I like to imagine that day, what might have been happening moments before, how excited my parents might have been even in the throws of labor. And what of my spirit? Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Another fun assignment from the Liahona! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My name is Elise and these are my various musings. View my complete profile.

My Wee Blether: June 2014
http://myweeblether.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2014. I made this family tree chart for a sharing time. In primary today, and had much more fun creating it than the children in the lesson could ever have. The reason I share this is that I have for a long time now felt the pull from my ancestors, and the gentle urging the Spirit has given me to search and find them, learn who they were, and do temple work for them, creating links through generations.

Friday, October 31, 2014. Sketch - Day 12. Did this quickly in the early AM while taking a break from working on the magazine I design. Watch for the final version to come soon.

Thursday, February 26, 2015. I had hoped to have this more completed before posting, but alas, the day job has to take precedence. Anyway, it is complete enough that that you get the idea. At the top is my initial thumbnail, and on the left is me trying to get the boys' hands correct (hands and hair still give me trouble). My goal is to complete this, along with others, in time for the Don Freeman Grant. Deadline (getting really close). Prayers and encouragement always welcomed! Posted by Tom Barrett.

My Wee Blether: May 2014
http://myweeblether.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. Andrew with fellow officer Anthony Garcia at the OCS graduation. I can't allow myself to worry about the future or what he will likely face as a 2nd Lt. in the USMC, but today my heart is overflowing with admiration and great love for this wonderful young man.

My Wee Blether: January 2014
http://myweeblether.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 18, 2014. Actually, my thoughts are seldom very deep. I'm sorry to admit it, but there it is. I mean I have thoughts that border on the deep from time to time, but nothing incredibly substantial. Emma is in her final days at the MTC. In fact she leaves next week on the 21st. I have mixed feelings about this, as I will miss her terribly. And though she will be completely in the Lord's hands, I still have an anxiousness in the pit of my stomach. wait, it's more in my throat.

My Wee Blether: Christmas Surprises!
http://myweeblether.blogspot.com/2014/11/christmas-surprises.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. I know it's hard to believe, but here I am well into my second half-century, and I'm bursting with excitement for Christmas! In my efforts to personalize gift giving, I've made many of my gifts this year, and feel almost a little kid again myself! And what's added more to the fun, has been skyping with my sisters while we crafted! Oh how wonderful modern technology can be! It is almost as much fun as our Sister Teas when we get together to make things, though many miles apart.
