By Jove!

I think I've got it! I just finished this pencil painting, and it was FUN! I didn't feel like I was struggling with it the whole time--I just worked on it and enjoyed the process. I'm so pleased with the way my little birdie came out, so if you don't mind, I'm patting myself on the back and tooting my own horn.

The piece is about 8x10, done with Prismacolor pencils on matboard.

The weather lately has been picture perfect Autumn in New England weekend gorgeous here in my neck of the woods, so not much stamping has gotten done. I've been out enjoying Mother Nature's spectacle most of the weekend. Maybe I'll get some stamping in tonight during the football game, then again, maybe I'll sit in front of the game and do some knitting. So many crafts...so little time, LOL!

What about the rest of you? What'cha been up to this weekend?
