Day 20,311

Found this old drawing of a pumpkin dashed off back when I used a palmtop before the days of smartphones with a stylus. I think this was done about 20 years ago, give or take. So I guess you could subtract ~7300 days or thereabouts from that number at the top.

Different times, back then. I certainly prefer now to then. Married life in Virginia is certainly more my speed than being a single person in Florida. Prior to the Clie, my drawings were on a monochrome device, with even lower resolution. The original doodle was jaggy, but I upscaled it years ago, and I have no idea where the more pixilated version is now. Perhaps I will stumble over it sometime later.

My brother and me, Easter, on or around day 1490 or so. (Today is 20,311), bro, left, showed up around day 750.

Note my groovy teardrop peace sign necklace and his amazing ash-blonde hair. Even I was dishwater blonde in a captain kangaroo-style bowl cut (which was the fashion on the time)

Not shown, my matching jacket that went with the pants, channeling Herb Tarlick before WKRP ever aired.

Day 20,309

Still working on a background for Mr. Slimy here. Doing a little art tonight in a medium new to me, metal clay. I’ll share the results later, but I think it will be a good time! I printed out some pattern tools to try, and I may see if I can find any resin molds that I might want to try.

From – https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_clay

Metal clay is a crafting medium consisting of very small particles of metal, such as silver, gold, bronze, or copper, mixed with an organic binder and water for use in making jewelry, beads, and small sculptures. Originating in Japan in 1990, metal clay can be shaped just like any soft clay, by hand, or using molds. After drying, the clay can be fired in various ways, such as in a kiln, with a handheld gas torch, or on a gas stove, depending on the type of clay and the metal in it. The binder burns away, leaving the pure sintered metal. Shrinkage of between 8% and 30% occurs (depending on the product used). Alloys such as bronze, sterling silver, and steel are also available.

Little girl got tuckered out during our morning enrichment. Love the little T-Rex paws and blissed out face. She really is such a little sweetie. She sleeps on @maximillian_deersteak ‘s pillow more often than not.

Day 20,306

On Saturday, the in-laws are hopeful for today’s Virginia Tech game against Marshall. The Hokies are favored by 20.5 points, so hopefully they will do better than last week when they were favored to win by 12 points and lost anyway

More doodling, this time at Blacksburg Books, while the family browses the aisles.

Another great shop in the Blacksburg zone. Hard to resist the great collection of books, stickers and miscellaneous nifty stuff.
