What Have I Been So Busy Doing?

I don't know.  I really don't have much to post today as far as pictures go.  But, this is what I have been doing:
About two weeks ago, HRH and I bought a new travel trailer as he is going to retire soon and we expect to go out into the world traveling a bit.  We like having our house with us when we do this.  The travel trailer we has was just a bit small to "snow bird" in.  This new one seems to have much more room.  So, I have been busy transferring all the stuff from one house to another.  And I made HRH a new quilt and pillow sham since he has COPD and is eternally cold.  I finished up a paper swap over in blissfully art journaling group.  I put some hangers on some wood batiks I made last fall/winter.  Isn't that fun to be able to say fall/winter as in the past!  I did try some grid drawings which I will post below.  I am not really sold on the grid drawing techniques yet.  I think it would be a good thing if you wanted to reproduce something exactly.  I kinda like things to be a bit skeewampus though.  Makes things look a bit more artsy to me.  I have been to four or so yardsales and found some fun tags with ribbons, new and in package.  They seem to be made out of maybe heavy watercolor paper, so I will have fun playing with those.   So, I haven't really been doing much of anything as far as things I can show you here.  I have things rolling around in my head of stuff I might try, but just haven't gotten into anything worth showing.  I am wanting to buy a flip video camera so I can make some tute videos.  Has anyone used them for this?

The process is to make a grid on a transparency with a permanent marker.  Then hole the grid up and closing one eye make a contour drawing with a wipe off pen.  I used a transparency pen.

Then you can trace light grid lines on your paper and transfer the drawing.  It is supposed to make your drawings more accurate.  I was not concentrating here, I guess.

My second effort was of a cute coffee mug (or in my case tea mug) and candy flower suckers a sweet friend gave me, because she said the mug fit me since I am always creating, lol.  Much better drawing this second time around... I used copic markers and brushes.
