June Calendar

It’s hard to believe it’s July already, and the year is half over. 

Finally got to get started in the new art journal this month with the yummy paper I made over spring break.

stuff 229 It’s quite a bit bigger than my last one which has taken a bit of time getting used to working larger.  I do like not having to worry about running out of room especially with the calendars.

Here’s June’s calendar page for The Kathryn Wheel’s Calendar Challenge.

stuff 224
This was a busy month I guess since I only created 2 additional pages and some doodles
stuff 226 stuff 228
My plan was to add some pen work to “Soul” in the first one, but noticed when looking at the photo I had not.  Oops!  I’ll have to go back in and do that.

stuff 231 stuff 232I also think that there was finally some light at the end of the proverbial tunnel in June.  I didn’t have this overwhelming need to pour out my disenfranchised feelings that had been plaguing me the previous few months.  Looking forward to summer break to get in there and just play again.

Happy July!

    Happy Independence Day.

    And yeah, hell it's July already.

    I'm amazed you had the time to do that calendar this month.
    Do women actually hang bras on clothes lines like that.

      I know, I got a bit behind and had to catch up on a couple of the weeks which was more time consuming than just a quick one-a-day.
      Hanging bras in general as opposed to using a dryer or hanging them in that manner with two clips? For me, yes to both. I won't use a dryer because it ruins them AND because it's always windy at my house if I hang them by just one strap they wave in the wind like a flag. That one strap and sometimes the wire gets all tweaked as it blows around in the wind. :)

      I really don't care what you do with your underwear to tell the truth. Straight man here !. Yeah, folding them neatly, that's what we're known for. :-D
      I was looking at the little painting thinking how truly realistic your rendition of the line of washing. The bra simply added that touch that twanged it like a tuning fork. More that any one single item of clothes that did it. And only two dots of colour and two lines. But here, I've never seen bras hanging like that. They are cup to cup over the cable with a peg on the chest band.

      @Linda - Thank you! I had been previously using the little squares of paper for my color, but I got tired of cutting them out and then being limited to that palette. I'm having way more fun with each square being it's own little piece.

      Thanks Lynette! I've always been drawn to the chandelier prints that have been everywhere the last few years - simple and clean even if a bit trendy. Hope your July is wonderful too.

      Thanks Valerie! I didn't like getting behind like I did this month. Catching up is very time consuming.

    Gosh you have had a busy June. I like how you've illustrated your days and the zentangles are great...I'm playing with them in a separate journal...they're very relaxing. Hope July isn't as hectic for you x

      I enjoyed making those pages a lot. It's funny how the photos made me realize I wasn't quite done. They don't look complete to me so I'll go back in and add a bit more I think.
