Day #14 AEDM and Sunday Sketches





I discovered Blue Chair Diary after I asked for suggestions for ongoing weekly challenges (thank you Kristin and Jenny)

Blue Chair Diary runs a weekly challenge called Sunday Sketches.

Sketching is something that I have only recently picked up.  I had purchased a set of 3 Moleskine journals and didn't realize they have those really thin pages.  I new there would be no mixed media going in those without serious prep to the pages.  So I decided to start carrying one around with me and sketch in them when I have time.

Play practice this last week was an ish time.  You know it will be done 9-ish.  So while I was waiting in the car, I pulled out my sketchbook and started to sketch.  I didn't realize how a very mundane task, waiting, could be so much fun.  

This is a good thing as swimming season is coming up and there is a whole lotta waiting involved.   Bring on those 3 hour swim meets!
