i started with a photo. i haven't uploaded any photos from my camera yet so i'm afraid i'm the only subject of my experimentation on my new ipad. shameful. yet uproariously fun at the same time.
used tracing paper app
then went into sketchbook xpress app to muck things up a bit.
a dramatic hairstyle!
pink lips!
a lime green chair!
i simply have no aptitude for realism.
finished things off with a luminance app chaser. i didn't have a choice really.
p.s. in my last post i mentioned sketch & draw app. it's actually sketch & frame app

wanna take your regular advent calendar for a spin? a high voltage, kick in the arse spin? go HERE and just do it.
a sample below. courtesy of my SISTER! i was SO doing this in my garage today while i was cleaning it out. it's my new excercise routine. play their advent calendar and dance along.





























Oh SISTER! There should be an age warning on this one. My leg just fell off. Merry Christmas eh?!! As for your recent adventures into your new toy, Mary Ann ... Well ... this blog is obviously headed in a whole new direction ... ha ha ha ha .... Donna ps: glad you are both having fun.

Just read your reading list. I love May Sarton. My favorite is House By the Sea. It opened my eyes to so many things. I pondered the thought of someday being alone like she was after her lover died. It is an excellent read.

Wow, you now have a virtual visual journal! Love your creations. The dancing duo are too funny but I couldn't watch more than one minute as I am nursing a sore back and all that twitching made me nervous. I torqued it while vacuuming -- how depressing. I'll just tell everyone I did skiing in Aspen.

Every guy I ever danced with in high school danced like the guy in red. Always cleared the dance floor. Love it.

Mary Ann,
Where do you buy a stylus to use with your iPad. Also, do you have some sort of protective film on your screen so it doesn't get scratched?
