numerals and dates

It's a very cool, dry morning. Everyone's enjoying a cool morning pace. The grey cat, Zoey, sleeps and snores gently. The white fluffy cat, Buck Wheat, paces looking for some mischief. Zeek sleeps up in her usual spot on our bed. Deezel sulks as he is restricted to inside because he's discovered the little woodchucks living under the garden shed. His interest seems more than curiousity.
Our walk will be to go to the garage to pick up my car. I'll have some art time when I return, I hope. Then I'll go to school. Lots of end of the year preparations to finalize.

DAILY HAIKU 2009
This entry combines the numbers for the date and the retrun of the rain. I used a stencil for the numbers and filled them with lines made with a
unibal marker. The card was first stamped with a Cat's Eye ink pad. The repitition of the numbers creates a texture on either end. The text is written on tracing paper. A scrap of a page from a small sketchbook balances the numbers and text at the top.

The other numeral based work was on 3/03/09 - Square Root Day















June 8, 2009







This is another entry based on the text. The background's texture is a combination of the edge of a stamp pad and the text written several times with a purple gel pen. The flowers white ink outlined with a white out pen. The date serves as an additional texture written at the bottom using a calligraphy pen. It includes the day.
