My oldest daughter, Brandy, who doesn't think she's creative....

She has an etsy shop, BarefootBananas, but doesn't think of herself as creative at all. I think she's wrong about that. I love these guys she created so much I wanted to show you this week... The descriptions underneath are hers, copied from the etsy page....

 

 

 

Vladimir, the ugly shark

sharks get such a bad rap. Poor Vlad just wants someone to swim with. Does this face look viscous to you??? Alas forever alone... and ugly.

 Boris is simple. He does not understand that he is ugly nor does he care. leave him be and all will be well...
Boris is roughly 6 inches tall and made of grandma's ugly fabric scraps!

 T double-E double-R double-R double-I double-F double-I double-C, C, C. That's some ugly pig!

Phyllis was all set to play the role of the pig in Charlotte's web but lost the part to Wilbur's good looks and boyish charm. I wouldn't bring it up she's still a little salty...

 Klawd is an ugly koala, and he doesn't apologize for it. love it or leave it.

 

Here's the group in my daughter's etsy shop....

 

And since it is Paint party Friday and Haiku My Heart I thought I needed a piece I made and wrote so here's a quick one...

 

 

 

Still drawing black lines

another unfinished piece

too many to count

 

 

Lines and thoughts criss cross

Not confused yet overdone

should I simplify?

 

 

Finding more small magic

I have another video for you that I made,  there's a mandala in flowers and  a little bit of me painting a self portrait, although I will say it looks more like me when I was younger and thinner than it does  now. My eyes are too big here, and my  hair in this is black instead of brown,  but I guess that's the way I saw myself when I looked in the rear view mirror to paint it. I don't show painting the whole thing as it was too hard to hold the camera and paint in the car! But it's only a few minutes long so please watch it!

I do see myself

Without wrinkles and still thin

Mirrors tell small tales

Pieces of ourselves

Shared on fridays with others

Pieces of my heart

Happy paint party friday and haiku my heart!
