Stealing my own thunder: Block Print Design for Christmas 08

This is just the design. When I get to actually cutting the block, it
will probably come out differently.

A little early, you say? It takes a long time to plan, draw, design,
cut and print home-made Christmas cards!

Squirrel

At the Detroit Zoo, the free-ranging wildlife were almost as numerous
as the caged animals.

Our Roses, again today

I put a quilt behind them for pink. (I also Ortonized them. (A soft focus technique).)

I took some more of these tests. There were not always choices that suited me and the answers were sometimes way off--like my party thing! HUH? Where's they get that? I tried to choose laid back choices like talking and eating and listening to music, but some of them were too far out. As far as travel, I wanted to travel to almost all those places!

As far as movies go, I tried to pick things I thought I MIGHT like, as most of them I haven't seen (except Persepolis).

I took this test that was forwarded to me by Pam. It was fun to take, but in some instances, they didn't offer a choice that was right for me and I had to pick another. It was still fun and interesting, though, I enjoyed it and enjoyed the pictures they had for choices. You just pick the favorite of each group--the one most "you" and it gives you a new group and it doesn't take long.

I would have chosen a different bedroom than any they had. I like a dark cozy bedroom. I like lots of light during the day and lots of darkness at night. I chose the bedroom I did choose for its books. I would have chosen listening to music first choice in a really comfy chair in a dark cozy spot. The one I chose was my second choice. I like listening to music while I work. Also the art thing, I like manmade art, too, very much. But I couldn't resist the chambered nautilus!

This is a meme of sorts, and if you do it, let me know. I'm not tagging anyone except Coffeypot, because I know yr super busy. But it is interesting and fun.
