Monogram : Drawing Challenge

Ink, i.d., initials

What's in a name?

I've been pondering a name change.

But I love my "smr" logo.

Lots of artists just use their name, so i just plucked out one of them.

Morgan.

So many of you have come to know me as "milady" - and that would never change.

But i need a cohesive i.d. Something that umbrellas all I do.

what do you think?

of

Morgan, ink.

?

besides, M's are the funnest to pen with ink.

I look forward to your thoughts on this matter!!!!!

Patrice A. is our hostess this week.See her Monogram flourish before your eyes!

Body : Drawing Challenge

 

What is a body?
A body of work, a body of water, a body of spirit.
A container that holds, hugs and protects.
A body that skims the surface of others bodies.
A body that knows barefeet on grass is the best way to relax.
A moving miraculous vessel of wisdom that continues to be my greatest teacher.

Julia , the birthday beauty has collected quite of body of work. go see!

Nadine, this is for you! I was intrigued too so I went on a little google adventure and found that the alphabet
was created by this wonderful man : Francois Huotin, a not so vintage frenchman. I was sure the image was from the 1800's if not earlier.  fascinating! Then, I read on to learn that he was a trained landscpape architect ( a career path I was once on)  who mostly creates fantastical garden designs in old world etched perfection.  yum!  Then, I realized that he is the artist of some beautiful dishware by Hermes I've been lusting over!  And to top it off? The picture of his atelier I had saved as my dream studio inspiration is his!  God! i love that. :) when it all clicks! ...and that was an intended pun! :)
ink, parchment, France and twisted tree limbs...a sweet stirring in my soul today.
dreaming of blossoms,
