Artistic Outlets

Sometimes I just can’t write.  Like today.  I would love to work on my novel or the book that I’m ghost writing or this blog…but I can’t.  Words just aren’t coming.  So, I present to you today a blog post full of pictures.  This is some of the artwork I’ve created over the past year.  Sometimes I need to step away from the keyboard and get my hands dirty with some other form of art.  For example:

 I don’t actually have a picture of the final product for the monkey project.  Will update when I take one!

Happy creating!
