November 20, 2008

A simple doodle tonight.  Brian started it off with a scribble which I then turned into this shape and filled in with color.  A nice, quick exercise!

Today’s creation: the “exploding box.”  After seeing my Unfolding Your Life Vision collage books and my collaged dream boxes, a lady launcher made me one of these surprising structures since she knew I would appreciate it.  I love how the box is simple yet complex.
