Reading and research help my writing, so those get attention, too. Things which don't help my writing don't get as much attention. {Smile}<br /><br />Except for friends and relatives; they're a separate priority. {SMILE}<br /><br />Anne Elizabeth BaldwinAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083766769757259822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265566975813453385.post-91331071059489377232011-03-05T12:23:00.718-08:002011-03-05T12:23:00.718-08:00That's kind of how I feel about the violin.

If I got serious about music I'd probably do sorta okay, but then I wouldn't have as much time for my writing and drawing. :)Chicoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504144663440678542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265566975813453385.post-50544605830975644222011-02-28T01:33:54.610-08:002011-02-28T01:33:54.610-08:00I know.

I'd like to do that with my writing some day. {Smile}<br /><br />I've never done woodcuts, but then I'm not much of an artist. I might have a little of the family talent, but I have more for writing. Besides, that's what I concentrated on developing: my skill at writing. {Smile}<br /><br />Anne Elizabeth BaldwinAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083766769757259822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265566975813453385.post-53272298307248639202011-02-16T09:36:12.984-08:002011-02-16T09:36:12.984-08:00That's awesome that she's able to make mon...That's awesome that she's able to make money off her hobby. I'm really impressed that she does woodcuts. That's a medium I've never tried. I find the idea a little intimidating, because mistakes would be hard to recover.Chicoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504144663440678542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265566975813453385.post-89928219576955347482011-02-15T20:52:49.002-08:002011-02-15T20:52:49.002-08:00I don't mind; I just got distracted from answe...I don't mind; I just got distracted from answering for a bit. {rueful smile}<br /><br />My cousin does two dimensional pictures in a variety of styles. I have some nice woodcut bookplates she made, along with some cards that look like watercolors. One of her paintings we have is an oil. She might do sketches, too; I'm not sure. {Smile}<br /><br />Art is sort of a paying hobby for her. She does it on the side of being a store clerk. For years she worked in a bookstore. After it closed, she tried having an online store, before becoming a clerk in a department store. She really enjoys leaving management decisions to her boss now. {Smile}<br /><br />Anne Elizabeth BaldwinAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083766769757259822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265566975813453385.post-17252865637177090502011-02-12T09:40:32.235-08:002011-02-12T09:40:32.235-08:00What is your cousin's medium (if you don't...What is your cousin's medium (if you don't mind my asking?)Chicoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504144663440678542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265566975813453385.post-85544324097680471382011-02-10T23:59:16.734-08:002011-02-10T23:59:16.734-08:00I guess bubbles would be tricky.

I've never tried shading bubbles before. <br /><br />One of the things I love about mouse stories is how writing about such a small creature changes the perspective of everything. A Lilac bush is a forest, and so is a bed of daffodils. (I used to play `My Little Ponies' in the flowerbeds.)Chicoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504144663440678542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265566975813453385.post-24916154736624886132011-02-08T22:46:41.574-08:002011-02-08T22:46:41.574-08:00She's cute! {SMILE}
