The Adventures of Blaize la Palette

Everyone is having so much fun drawing stick figures and animals, I had to give it a try.

Yesterday, Blaize rose to see the sun shinning and the roads dry, even though it was only 24 degrees out. So she hopped in her little red car, drove across the river and into the next state.

In a hip town down river she shopped in a upscale yuppie grocery store, of a type rare in this neck of the woods. There she found the wheat bran cereal she prefers, kukicha tea and green tea, and a loaf of locally made bread.

At a book store she indulged in her weakness: two books.

At Swirl, a clothing and knick knacks consignment shop, she bought a small purse, though larger than the one she has been using. Perfect for the camera, notebook and pens she now wishes to carry. She bought a ceramic heart with a cat print in the center and an old silk scarf as presents for a friend.

Once home, she drove her 90 year old Mother to the library so she could choose some books. Good thing she did all this yesterday as today it is snowing again.

Well again, it is Andrea to thank. Firstly to come up with the idea of illustrating a life with stick people. And then for being generous enough to not mind that we all "copy" her idea (although of course not the drawings style. We each have our own drawing style.)

That you everyone for all this lovely feedback. Wow, makes my chest swell, not a bad thing as I've always been so smaLL IN that area!!!
