Valarie Wade Illustration: acrylics and digital

Just a warning post. I am getting ready later today to try out a few new blog templates I found online. It might look a little messy for a few days while I tweak and revise the blog site.

(I will be saving the old template just incase the new ones don't work to my liking.)

Ok...my digital camera is on the fritz first off. I couldn't get a good picture of drawing at all so I thought well why not try recording it and see if that works. So I recorded a video of the drawing, then captured the screen image off the computer, pasted the screen image into paint, and finally saved it. *sigh* so a lot of effort for these little pictures. Hope you like the before the paint goes on sometime this week.

I am back. So I had all kinds of fun stuff going on the past four months, but after going to a few different doctors we finally got it all fixed and I am patched up and ready to roll again. I haven't picked up a brush with in the four month period because most of my time was spent in agony....

New stuff... I have found a free to use website! holy cow
so my www.valariewade.com site is now being routed to my new website I am trying to put together. There are a few pages and some stuff up. Nothing special at the moment, just something other than the blog. I hope to have some originals and other offerings like digital stamps up sometime in November.

I need to take the time to scan my newer paintings, but here are a few bad camera shots to give you an idea.

I thought I should post to tell everyone that I am still around. I am still not feeling that fabulous but am slowly trying to get back into some sort of a schedule.

Here are some previews of possible stamps in the future. I will be working on making them into acrylic paintings as well. If all works out, I will post the originals for sale on my website.

I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. Here is my newest set for mygrafico. This is the digital stamp version of the cupcakes. I will try and get a colored version out by Saturday night. I just couldn't decide how to color each of them. I may make both vanilla and chocolate versions. : )

The set is at mygrafico under Beccakay and is priced at $2.95. The set includes 3 large 12x12 digital papers that can be resized to 8x8 if needed.

I will try and get back into a schedule again. I know for the rubber stamp buyers you may be wondering what it going on! Well I have a definite back log of line art for fairie song art stamps... I am working on the rest of the line art today, tomorrow, and Saturday so a new set can be released soon. As for my own line, I am putting that on hold for a little longer while I get ready for the only art show I have left this year and I am so far behind in painting *sigh* but I shall keep going and will get it all done.

K I went to the Doctors office yesterday night to see if my new cramping on my lower right side was appendicitis or not. I had been having extreme cramping there for 3 days until finally breaking down to go and get it checked out. No I do not have appendicitis, yes the new doctor said the bladder infection is finally over, I have occasional stomach cramping and lower abdominal cramping that goes away when I stop stressing about it all. So, I am going to try and put good bacteria back into my body with dannon yogurt, try! and this one is really hard lately <---- to stop stressing so much about everything and see if I can get the cramping to stop.

I am going to try and paint something later tonight and see if that can help lower my stress level to stop the cramping.

That being said... if you have facebook here is my new face book address:

Bactrim Ds didn't work
cipro. didnt work
amoxicillin (allergic reaction, my muscles still hurt)
now on levequin (doesn't seem to be working)

I will be calling into the clinic again tomorrow morning. I just got off the phone with a Doctor who pulled my chart and told me it might take 14 days to get rid of the amoxicillin allergic reaction and to take an allergy medication for it and to call back after 10 am tomorrow to talk with the Doctor I have been seeing. I hope all is well. Wednesday when I went in, I was told that the infection wasn't as progressed as it was before. *sigh* crosses fingers that this will all be over by the end of this week because tomorrow July 6th makes one month that I have had this.
