Artist's Comments

The first scratchboard ever for me. Didn't scan quite right. I got through it as well as I could. I'm overwhelmingly depressed today. The scratching and scraping was really therapeutic. I felt like I could take it out on the board. Anyway, I saw this old gal in my mind today and I figured...I'm beyond stressed, I'm beyond tired, I'm in pain, and I still have to do something traditional for traditional week. Old gal...let's go, you and me, you've got one hour before this hand goes and takes the rest of me with it. She reminds me of my mentor who I love dearly and who is terminal right now.

Not much, off to scraps soon.

I tried that once. Dam it is hard. Reverse dark to light. I used to dyes eggs in brown onion skins, and do, or rather, try to do scratch art on them. You cant go back and make correction, sigh! CHEERS my friend!!

Oh man, this is really your first time? You did an excellent job!

I don't think this belongs in scraps at all. I know that I've got a whole stack of your work to comment on, but I think it's worth saying that I really like this piece. Also, I'm very sorry to hear that you're so stressed out. :hug: I know I haven't been on dA much as of late, but know that we still love you. :D I was actually mentioning you to my mom earlier. XD

I miss you!!! How have you been?!! Thanks for the :+fav: and your observations on whether this belongs in scraps or not. I think it's a weak piece...one that started off promising, but my lack of skill in the new medium sort of trumped me. Not for long. I have nine more sheets of this stuff to practice on. :) I'm glad you still love me. I've been pining away without you and Aida.

I miss you, tooo! :hug: I've been doing alright, aside from the fact that my job is killing me. This is my first day off since last saturday. >_>; Somewhere in the middle of that was the day we were giving out free iced coffee. Needless to say, I'm beat at the moment.

And I think that you're being too hard on your work again. It's a good piece, and for it being an 'experiment in a new medium' it's a great piece. I'm psyched to see what else you might scratch out. :D

And we could never stop loving you! The other day, we were talking about you, and after a moment Aida says "Wow.. She's kind of perfect for you, isn't she?" For a minute, terror struck me--I thought paranoid jealousy was coming. Then she followed it up with "It's like.. Insert best-friend here." and I couldn't agree more. Just for the record (and I hope that your boyfriend doesn't mind me saying this), we half-consider you our 'Other Girlfriend'. We haven't asked Lime how she feels about that, yet, but I'm sure she'd agree. :D
