Guess what? I went to the doctor to double check my thumb, took my Xrays (that now come in a CD, news to me) and.... it was broken! Aggh! They told me it wasn't but I knew something was wrong, after so many months of pain, stiffness and overall annoyance.
Now I will need a thumb-holder thingamabob (Can't remember the name) and just let it be.
Also will get some acupuncture too just to help with the pain :o/
Enough complains. Now for the hearts:
I made this some time ago with paperclay. Turned out with very nice texture. I will be giving it for a blog giveaway in a future post towards the end of the 31 hearts challenge. More info later!
As for art, here is an image of the sketch I'm working on:

ReplyDeleteWe are melting over here in the valley aren't we? But I think you guys have at least the Delta, we just get the dust lol
DeleteGosh, and I was so excited that it finally got to 80 here... we're just a bit cooler in the Pacific Northwest. :) I love that heart and your 31 heart project. Wish I'd seen it earlier, I adore hearts of all types. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteYou can still join! not a problem ♥
Deletesorry about your thumb, glad it doesn't seem to be getting in the way of your drawing or painting.
ReplyDeleteAll so nicely done. HPPF!
OMG...how long have you been working with a broken thumb...and who told you it wasn't broken???
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lady in your sketch, and the heart is beyond wonderful :D XXX
Apparently, close to a year :oP the Urgent care said it wasn't broken, after looking at the broken XRays. Figures....
DeleteThat painting is going to be great and hope your thumb starts to heal quickly... that would be horridly painful... sending healing thoughts your way...xx
ReplyDeleteI might actually paint a few hearts today!
ReplyDeleteRinda
Crap! A broken thumb! Hope it heals soon. And I love your paper clay heart. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful 'work in progress' creations ~~ thanks ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteYou should all come to Iceland... we have had the best summer ever, sun every day about 15°c and it feels so good.
ReplyDeleteLove your drawing, so beautiful, I wish I could draw like this.
We were 31 C at 7:30 this morning... imagine? Our winter is about your summer weather, except we get a few Zero or -1 maybe 3 or 5 nights during the winter. I'm sure you get a lot colder that that!
DeleteYour portrait is looking great. I love your 31 Hearts project. What a great way to lift your spirits.
ReplyDeleteHope your thumb heals quickly.
Thank you!
DeleteCan't wait to see your sketch evolve! So sorry to hear about your thumb. You always think of such creative challenges....Loving the heart challenge! Happy PPF! :-) ~ Rhonda

ReplyDeleteWhat a great line drawing. I can't wait to see when you paint it. Blessings!
ReplyDeletewe had that unbearably hot weaither last week but it's finally cooled down here. hope the cooler weather is headed your way.
ReplyDeleteyour sketch is wonderful... can't wait to watch as you turn it into a painting!
Great Sketch! Sending you some cooler weather from Australia -it's been cold and rainy here lately, you can have some of ours, we wont miss it:) It may take some time to get there though. Also sending you wishes for a speedy recovery and pain free times. Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great? I send you some heat, you send me some cool air... we were 46 Celsius today! 115 F
DeleteFeels almost as hot as last time we went to Las Vegas, you really feel like a piece of bacon hahaah
The heat has been bad this year!! You know it's been REAL HOT when you walk outside and it's 95° out and you comment on how nice and cool it feels today :0/
ReplyDeleteExactly! When you feel like 95 is nice, you can just tell it was so much hotter before :o/
DeleteOh, what a happy wonderful sketch (of course she's drinking coffee :) ) Grief so many people are coming to So. FL to cool off. We usually go north to cool off, but I guess we actually do live in paradise. . . . winter and summer.. .. We do have 2-seasons. Blessings, Janet PPF
ReplyDeleteI hope to see your girl of the Cup finished...Saludos
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! So long with a broken thumb. How brave of you to still be creating such great work. An inspiration to be sure! And I was geekily excited to see NZ mentioned!! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if being brave or just plain stubborn ;o]
DeleteAnd I have to say, I have never met a person from NZ I didn't like. You stay warm ok?
The drawing looks like it will be wonderful when done. Cant wait to see it done. I sure hope the thumb is on the hand you dont draw and paint with. HPPF
ReplyDeleteOh, no, of course it is in my right thumb, my writing hand :oS (My "throw books at spiders while pointing the thumb out" hand)
