EDM Challenge

holiday items

(the item on the right

in orange was a stamp)

I drew it below that...

I think the nutcracker came out the best as did the duck probably because I had something to look at and draw as opposed to imagination.

ART

An amazing,

unexpected gift!

On 12-25-2005 at my sister's home we sat between our main meal and coffee and took 10 minutes to draw it was so great to see all of us drawing at the same time, totally surreal!

I am so blessed to be in such a creative family. Thanks for all contributors! I will try to frame this for Grandma and Grandpa to hang in HFNY!

What is in your bag? A common question on an old game show that I used to watch with wonder.When I was a kid in the 70's there was a game show on called, "Let's make a deal!" Monte Hall was the m.c. I watched people pull the most amazing - really incredible - stuff out of their bags. My bag broke yesterday and while wallowing in my simple sadness that I might not be able to fix it now I drew the junk in the bottom of the bag. I had the notion that I never ever could have one any of those Monte Hall competions where people had socks, dolls, and any other combinations of unusual stuff, I just have the old work potty pass and big red and oh trash ... so if you look real closely you can see all the lint and if you sniff you may be able to smell the cinnamon in the big red... In closing I'll just ask, could you win a Monte Hall competition these days? If so, draw what is in your bag!

Well for me that means "Surprise, You Need to Clean Quickly!"
