The Black Apple › Inside A Black Apple

More, More Girls

Last night before heading off to bed I posted the new set of Autumn Isobels:

Newisobels
And then I woke up, and they are all gone, except for the lovely little bandita-costume girl in the middle! She's still in the shop. And both of the dollies gone and two of the yesterday's drawings! Goodness. Thank you, thank you!

"Squirrel Present" painting is also newly right here , so they way things have been flying away, I would hop like a bunny over there if you love her! I do love long and skinny paintings...I don't know why. I think I've waxed poetic about this before. I also love black squirrels, since I saw my first one (at least the first that I remember) a few months ago and was instantly smitten!

I'm, of course, taking a trip to the P.O. this afternoon (EDIT: I am a moron. Thank you, thank you kind readers who informed me of this day called "Columbus Day". Otherwise I might have pulled what I like to call an "Ashley G")

So now I'm just going to be continuing the happy productiveness of my busy-making-things pajama-day yesterday, which was actually very conducive to being a good employee of the Black Apple! I ended up watching  "A Room with a View" (so strange to see the H.B.C. at, what, 19?) and also...waaay down the spectrum "4 Little Girls", which is a documentary that Spike Lee made about the Birmingham church bombing/the civil rights movement at large. Both films were very good...if a bit strange for me to be painting/crafting to.

I feel like baking this afternoon. Maybe cookies?
I also feel like stitching up a doll, but alas and alack, I am freshly out of stuffing (doll-guts).
Happy Fallish Week! Off we go...

Those Isobel's are wonderful (too bad I was too late to get one!) ~ your art is just beautiful! I love the prints I've gotten and can't wait to hang them!

oh my, those isobel's are darling. I think it's a good thing for me that their sold already. And is the PO open today since it's Columbus Day? I just don't want you going through the gross creepy guy gauntlet for nothing.

I was also going to remind you that the PO is not open today. Happy Columbus Day!

i am a fan of long and skinny paintings too. not sure why. and oh, room with a view. i watched that movie over and over and over in high school. i usually prefer men with dark hair but i had a huge crush on julian sands.

What wonderful creativity lately...alas, I am too slow to "get" anything though. sigh.

Room With A View is my most favoritest movie ever. When in Florence, I was running around trying to visit the same places. Let's just say, Santa Croce, while an amazing place containing most of Italy's famous peoples crypts...and some amazing gothic marble, was not the same place in the movie...hehehe!

Romm with a View was fabulous! Must see that again one day soon! I love your new long painting complete with squirrel! GORGEOUS!

Way to get into the squirrel spirit. It definitely is the way to be nowadays, small creatures have real appeal.

cheers!

The squirrel present painting turned out great! Lovely!

Love your drawings. Newbie to blogging here, great to have found your blog. I too know the frustration of running out of "dolls guts". even more annoying when you live on a farm and have to wait days to get some!!!

I saw what I can ony describe as a flying squirrel yesterday. I took my faughter to the park and watched in amazement as the squirrel lept from tree to tree and basically took flight considering some of the trees were a good tenty feet apaprt.
