Scribble Picnic. . . . . . . . . . . . . Dot and line


. . . . . . . .be creative with a black dot and a straight line!




Oh gosh, for a non-artist like me today's challenge 'thrown out' by our
 creative host Michael was really difficult. I searched through many, and
 I mean MANY, of my own photos and couldn't come up with anything to turn
 into a meaningful sketch. I was about give up and then thought
 'stick figure' - anyone can turn one into something made up of a black dot
 and a straight line.

My husband loves baseball. Each Summer he returns to his home town
to meet up with his brother for baseball and beers for a few days.
He'll be off to lovely cooler, greener, New Hampshire next week, enjoying
brotherly pursuits . . . . .and I'll be happy knowing he's happy. . . . . and I 
don't have to cook dinner for a few unbearable hot nights. 
Wine and cheese anyone!

SCRIBBLE PICNIC continues to bring out the best in our 
wonderful artists - do go visit Michael's blog today and see what
they've come up with.

  2. Ahhh, Stick firgures ... right up my alley. It is the only way I can get a people drawing to resemble a people :) You are clever and thoughtful. Hope you enjoy your free time. I too like it when I get a reprieve from cooking dinner and especially if my hubby is off having a good time as well. Love your post ...

  5. Oh gosh, i love your happy stick figure, Mary! Totally perfect for the challenge and love the write up too. I've enjoyed playing baseball whenever I used to have the chance (well, ok, more likely, softball) but not terribly into watching it..but then again, I used to love getting hot dogs the two times I've done that!

    You know what is funny about your contribution, Mary? I actually, 1. thought it was the perfect set up for some stick figure fun and 2. had wondered what one earth you would be able to find for a photo if you ahd gone that direction! So, bravo! Excellent job. It is actually really well done! Love it.
