The cleanliness of Tumblr's design really excites me and will make me blog more frequently. I'm still working on customizing it, but it's definitely useable now so please update your links and RSS feed. Here is the new site: smalladventure.tumblr.com. It's much cooler looking there, you'll see. :)Keiko / Small Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16575342408914207295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632715503746669158.post-15405143389867437812011-05-18T11:11:00.000-07:002011-05-18T12:02:34.406-07:00i knight thee awesome: nobrow 5!We bought the book this past weekend and I love it!

The ram was a struggle to finish, but it was a good exercise in problem solving. I like the way it turned out. The pheasant was really fun to paint and came easily. Why the difficulty of these two drawings was so extreme I have no idea. Weird how that happens sometimes.<br /><br />Also, I'm starting to put up the wood slice paintings I didn't sell up in the shop for sale. They should all be up by today or tomorrow. Thank you all for continuing to follow my little progress blog.

Although we got back on Monday, we didn't have any internet until last night so that's why I've been a little out of the online loop. Anyways, I got to hang out with some cool friends, namely <a href="http://jordanmichaellebrecht.blogspot.com/">Jordan Lebrecht</a> and <a href="http://www.designbyanna.com/">Anna Hurley</a>, and got to visit some cool places! We saw a lighthouse right outside of the city, visited a small beach right inside the city, and went to some awesome stores. Here are the stores we saw:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvVUwUGJd9k/TaELYnAz4aI/AAAAAAAAB1s/MQRhyl-fc_Y/s1600/store_front.jpg"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvVUwUGJd9k/TaELYnAz4aI/AAAAAAAAB1s/MQRhyl-fc_Y/s400/store_front.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593764729588015522" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.theperishtrust.com/">Perish Trust</a>, a great antiques shop with beautiful presentation.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vdmdjbB3kN4/TaELYoo-40I/AAAAAAAAB1k/zrwfWbYuCC8/s1600/about1.jpg"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 131px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vdmdjbB3kN4/TaELYoo-40I/AAAAAAAAB1k/zrwfWbYuCC8/s400/about1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593764730024944450" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://potandpantry.com/">Pot and Pantry</a>, an adorable store full of new and used kitchen goods.

It sounds kind of gross I suppose, but I'm actually quite proud of using as much of the animal as possible. It was my first whole roasted chicken! And now I get to put these small bones on a shelf with some pine cones and little ceramic vessels.Keiko / Small Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16575342408914207295noreply@blogger.com2
