Day 31 Naarmamo

[feng_shui_house]

And so, my friends, we've arrived at the end. Post any art, art comments, and any thoughts you've had on our month of Art. :^)

Comments

[vera_j]

My dears, I am really sorry I didn´t contribute anything this year. DW keeps refusing to post my pictures but the main reason is that I really was unable to stop and do something - not that I was lazy or ignorant.
I at least tried to watch and comment at least. many thanks and greetings!!!!

Picture hosting/posting has become really difficult, I know. I have been able to get pics from LJ to *SORT OF* post here, but I have to use a different browser from my normal one just to get to the Scrapbook, and then when I DO post them, they don't show up for me in the post until I click on the link and visit them in the Scrapbook, and the next time I visit the page, they're invisible again!

I don't know if the situation will improve next year-- I wouldn't even have thought of Naarmamo this year if Squirmelia hadn't posted the first day and reminded me of it.

I have been pretty much NOT blogging at all. I got out of the habit. :^P

[vera_j]

It was a pleasure for me to be with you and see your lovely designs! HUGS to you, dear!
I wish I could take part next year but posting the pictures here haas been my problem. I did do everything what friends advised to do but no, it doesn´t work...

[feng_shui_house]

Did you try asking Dreamwidth for help? They may have some useful advice.

*HUGGLES*

[vera_j]

Oh yes, I did and i actually did ask EVERYONE around. The problem seems to be a format of my pics but I have been unable to adjust it yet. Since I have been here on DW, that is...

Thank you! *BIIIIG HUGS*

[liadt]

But you did contribute, you commented!

[vera_j]

Do you think so? Oh dear, thank you very much! It is always so amazing to see what other people create!
Hopefully we will get together again next year!

[liadt]

There's an art to comment writing (and an unsung aspect of 'fan work'):) I hope to be around next year. I have lots of ideas for drawings that will take me ... more than one day:D

[feng_shui_house]

I asked Jekesta to make me an admin, so I could tweak the Naamamo profile a bit, so hopefully, we'll continue next year.

If you know anyone who might be interested, I hope you will direct them to the comm.

[liadt]

I did pimp the comm around but I think everyone was wilting under the global heatwave.

[feng_shui_house]

Ah. In my case, The heat makes me more likely to use art at the 'puter as an excuse to avoid yard work. ;^)

[liadt]

I was worried my computer was going to combust in the heat. Oh well, art installation I suppose;p

[feng_shui_house]

And have some Borzois. :^)

[liadt]

I love borzois! Very cheery:)

[feng_shui_house]

Thanks! There are so many beautiful dogs in the world... Can't own them all, but I can draw them. :^)

[liadt]

I guess this means I'll have to do some dusting now?

One last royal. Looks nothing like George IV but then neither does the source picture I used, lol:

[feng_shui_house]

He's definitley blue-blooded! I love his expression 'I'm bored, how long do I have to keep posing? My collar is choking me.'

[liadt]

Thanks! I thought the collar looked seriously uncomfortable when I was drawing it too.

[vera_j]

THis man looks very authentic no matter who he is. I must confess that at first he reminded me of N.S Pushkin, a great Russian poet and dramatist from approximately same period - the fashion was international!:-)
I admire that lovely nose and big eyes. So lovely!

[liadt]

Thank you! It's my favourite nose I've done this month. The picture I copied from was attacked as not being an accurate portrait of George IV as he wasn't as attractive and the artist argued it was!

[pebblerocker]

Thank you to everyone who did art or commented! I'm sorry I didn't manage either. I'm glad to see NaArMaMo carry on, and sad not to have joined in.

[feng_shui_house]

Maybe next year will be better-- hard to say. If I wind up the only one doing it, it'd feel egotistical. ;^)
