A New Beginning!

Hooray! I finished up my Chick submission last night and today I sent it off to Clothworks. I could almost hear the delight in my chickens as they squawed all the way to the UPS Store! Some might think it is weird to imagine this, but when you are a cartoonist, even people appear unreal and cartoon like at times. The world becomes animated! More than once I have sat in the pew at church during a quiet time of the service. The pastor would then say something and a cartoon would come across my mind to where I almost laughed out loud! My three girls are the same way. We see life in pictures. Often times that is how we take notes too. In fact, that is how I discovered I was an artist in the first place. I sat in my 8th grade geometry class trying to understand the teacher all the while drawing a picture of him hanging from a tree. (Don't you be surprised at that! I did not hate my teacher. I hated geometry!) To my surprise, the picture looked JUST like him!!! I was shocked. I had to destroy that picture before he found it! hahahaha
Tonight will be a quiet night as I take a bit of a breather before changing gears and starting in on my Baby Sweet Peas fabric art.
