ALF ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

If you're on facebook you've probably already seen a gazillion of these...I did this instead

Impound

I had a very quick, but lovely trip to the Northwest over the last week...sad and bad news when I arrived back in Chicago:

I would love some help finding copyright free music I can incorporate into my videos, feel free to share! As well as any editing tips you may have...this music didn't really fit, but was 'legal'.

Day 2 with the sketchbook video:

Monday...day two, experimenting with video capture! Sorry, I'm having trouble centering this, and clearly the video I took of actually writing that lovely quote by Tyler Knott Gregson didn't work out...foiled again!

I had the extraordinary experience of paddling on the lake without another soul in site, in the pouring rain. It was magical and a little crazy. Don’t worry, there was no lightening, Mom!

I rigged up this tripod (rock/candle/brick from my old house) for my phone/camera (which I took the photo with, so you can’t see it!) Unfortunately the 12 minutes of sketching I did were cropped too small. Trial by error…that’s my method!

Before & After...

I love a before & after photo - and transforming spaces! This was my booth at the Windy City Pet Expo in Villa Park a few weeks back. It was a fun day, met lots of lovely people and their pets! Also got to see lots of wonderful folks from the local rescue groups and other pet businesses, like Tracey Gold, from Chicago Canine Concierge:And at the end of the day I met this darling little girl, that reminded me so much of my sweet Alice! She's available for adoption via Players for Pits. Nina is a Husky/Pit Mix...14 weeks old and so loveable!

A Paper Pup!

Look what I made! I've been wanting to try this with one of my dogs since seeing something similar done with holiday deer, on Pinterest, a month or so back. I created this guy very quickly on my way out the other night. The next morning I found it collapsed, so I bent the legs and suddenly had feet...even better (: I love working with cardboard and this idea has huge potential for my work...stay tuned!

PS...check out the other cool images of 'Cardboard Art' I've found on Pinterest.
