Today was the day 232 artists would find out if they made it to the next round. I chose to spend the day at the zoo to take my mind off the MI Great Artist contest.
Needless to say, the car ride home was filled with screams.
My daughter read the email to me. I made it!
If you had cast a vote in my direction, I thank you.
This is only the beginning...

I'm very happy with this mistake, or should I say, discovery?
Thank you for reading :-)
I just completed and turned in my DaVinci Mechanical Dragon entry for the Renaissance Festival! Wahoo!
Below you will see that I took my original sketch and enlarged it using the copier.
You'll also notice a grey sheet next to it. This is transfer paper and saves me a lot of headache in transferring images to their final destination. I can't place the plywood on top of my light table -right?


What was I thinking??? I realized this error about 2a.m. the night before deadline.
Yup.
Note to self: hide the watercolor markers with the watercolor paper with a sign "only use for illustrating".
But sometimes our errors can change the way we see things and turn into a thing of beauty...
