This is for the CAS286 challenge to use stencils and the CT0814 monthely theme " am I babbling". I used 2 stencils...an old Rosie's road show cloud stencil and a TH layering burlap stencil. The ENTIRE IMAGE IS COLORED WITH COPICS - woo hoo. I decided to stop whining, step out of my comfort zone (prisma pencils with gamisol), and just practice with copics. I discovered the main thing you need for copics...patience, and my patience is at the station waiting for the next train out of town. Thank heaven this is a small image. For the fan club theme - babbling- I have to add a short story. When I was 10, I got Mac, my stubborn parakeet. I was determined to teach him to talk and I sat in the kitchen by his cage every night repeating hundreds of times (how's that for babbling), "Hi, Francie". How cool is that to enter the room and have your bird greet you by name? Each night after about a half hour, my dad would come in with my little dog - who was a much quicker learner than the bird- and dad would say "bedtime Terry", and my dog would curl up in her bed and go to sleep. Dolly, my adorable old insomniac dog could learn something here. I would give up and go to bed only to repeat the same scene the next night. Well, finally, after what seemed an eternity, Mac spoke. He puffed up his green feathers, fluttered his wings, stared me straight in the eye, and I swear he grinned and said....."bedtime Terry". Drove my dog nuts for the next four years. TFL, Francie
