Isn’t it amazing that a little hard dry kernel can fluff into a mouthful of heaven?
RECIPE
Put 1/4 c. popcorn into a little brown paper lunch bag. Fold the bag top over and crease it. Set the bag on a paper towel in the microwave and cook for 2 min.
When it’s done, pour it into a big bowl, spray it with butter-flavored PAM or sprinkle it with butter flavored flakes and it’s just as good as if it had been drenched with 1/4 stick of melted butter. Almost.

Rima of Evedom® is the picture of chronic bemusement, with a big question mark on top of her head. Wide-eye, innocent, she just doesn’t “get” the world around her.
If she directs that look at you, you might feel like throttling her.
I was thinking “fluid” dance constrasted with clickety-clack nameswhen I made these posters. I thought the tension was funny, so I put the words on their dresses.
The designs went out in an instructional e-book that included full-size hi-res graphics, the line art, directions for making them on the computer, and custom patterns and fills.
Click them for the precious details.
 Cheek-to-Cheek: Her skirt says, "cheek" |
 Two to Tango: Skirt says, "two" |
 Can-Can: Her skirt says what she will be showing in a minute. |
 Tutu: Her tutu says, "tutu" in the loveliest fluid way. |
Cover of the e-book. Even "book cover" has a staccato, for those wo can pronounce as two words.
“Dance of Words and Image” was a prompt from another art exercise group I belonged to years ago.
Evedom® Fish Stamp Set
I can’t remember if the fish and seaweed in the Nile (and also in the forest) or if the seaweed developed separately as ribbons of hair and horse mane. I love finding ways to exploit my reusable design elements in digital work. (Pharoah’s daughter in Moses? above wears a lovely collection of exploitable scarabs that may show up in a new composition soon.)

Popularity is measured by the number of hearts you capture. I increased the popularity quotient of everybody in the world.
For IF: Suspense. The moment the universe hangs in suspense as you realize you’ve made a terrible error.
For (Illustration Friday) ”forward” prompt, I thought of a young lady who “doesn’t know her place.” Little girls with attitude are a big part of my family mythology.
The brat kid who has “a mind of her own” is Penelope, an Evedom® character. She appeared in my original natural media work before I licensed the line art. Then she became a rubber stamp.
In this digital view, she is wearing lace from the Lace Girl and holding the poppy from my Botanicals of Evedom® collection.
I love the luxury of having pristine line art available on my computer to use and reuse in creating artistic compositions.
E-book, finished digital graphics and instructions for making your own.
 Good-bye forever. You'll miss us when we're gone (out in the back yard). The big black dog is a red herring. borrowed from Pharoah's Daughter. |
 Eww! There's a ;ive scarab on me! |
 The little one is pitching a phony tantrum to get the older one in trouble. |
 The little one is scared because her conscience is bothering her. The older one, disguised here as a boy, won't know for many years that a visitor often snuck in to sleep at the foot of [his} bed. |
