Catching Up! Navy, Negative, & Maroon Inchies...

The office I'm working in is moving and guess who has been in charge of coordinating pretty much EVERYTHING.  On top of my regular duties of course.  And, the truth is that I really believed the move was going to get pushed back so I was caught a little off guard when it really went down.  So, I've been working 12 hour days and since I live a minimum of 90 minutes from where I work, I move din with my mama for a couple of weeks.  Needless to say my life has been insane lately and here I go getting behind in inchies again.  I know, excuses excuses.  But, I'm still here and I'm catching up before I get too behind!

Luckily, I brought my art box with me to my mom's and since I got home early today (YEAH!  I am working on SUNDAY, Saturday happened, too!) I had some time to get my pencils sharpened and my paintbrush wet.  I present to you the following:

Navy:  Okay, this was hard.  Mom and I were brainstorming and I finally came up with a Navy Tattoo.  Pretty simple, but I like the choice.  Navy.  Geez... some of these words bug me.



Negative:  Speaking of BUGGING... hm.  I thought about drawing or painting something negative, but I really did not want to go in that direction, so I guess I took the easy route and drew an old fashioned film negative, was supposed to be sepia and all, with colored pencils, but now on here it is looking more yellow.  AH well.


Maroon:  I thought about the color maroon for like 5 seconds and then I immediately pictured exactly what I have here.  My little marooned fella.  Had to go with that, plus I love using microbeads!!!!


Have a great week all and I will be back for next week's EVERY INCHIE MONDAY!

    I feel for yu being so busy. It sucks when you cant do your craftwork, I miss it when i am unable to bead, So I get it! Glad you were able to catch up. I love the Navy tatoo, great job! also great with the negative, I think that was a hard one to do and you did a great job on it. I love the Maroon one as well. I never thought about that take until after i did mine lol

      Thanks! It was tricky, but I want to keep doing this. I realllllly want to do even more projects, but that time thing really kills me. I will have time one of these days, so for now, I guess I just practice practice practice!

    Good to see that you eventually got to get some time for yourself! Never thought about a tattoo for this week - nice effort!

    I feel for you Jenn, moving offices is awful - I did it 3 times at one company and made sure I was well outside the radar for any of the organisation of it!!!! Still did my bit with boxes and red sticker dots. Fabulous collection of inchies, especially love the effect of those micro-beads.

      OH MY GOSH! I am never moving again... this was the third move for me, too, with this employer. It might not have been so bad if I had been allowed a little rope, but this was one of those times when someone else wanted to be the boss of everything, but wanted me to do all of the work! hehe We're making it though!

      I LOVE the micro-beads!!!

    All three inchies are great. I may be looking at a classroom move when school starts so I sympathize with you.
