...to take care of this week long (ARTzona withdrawal)</div>
<div align="center">
MIGRAINE I have been having!!!</div>
<div align="center">
I really miss <br />
all my artistic sisters <br />
and all that wonderful 24/7 addictive art fun we had.<br />
Things are artfully quiet these days.<br />
I think my migraine felt the void and hopped right in!</div>
<div align="center">
Actually...</div>
<div align="center">
I cannot really blame ARTzona for my discomfort...</div>
<div align="center">
although my Muse wouldn't agree.</div>
<div align="center">
Unfortunately,</div>
<div align="center">
my migraine situation is</div>
<div align="center">
definitely a very, very fierce reality...and</div>
<div align="center">
I felt just like I look in my sketch above...all week.</div>
<div align="center">
Fortunately, </div>
<div align="center">
thanks to Imitrix, the pain seems to be easing</div>
<div align="center">
a bit...good news.</div>
<div align="center">
I am certainly glad I am not a die hard Denver Bronco fan</div>
<div align="center">
as I don't think my brain would</div>
<div align="center">
bounce back to normal...</div>
<div align="center">
ev-er!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
artist retreat held last weekend in Mesa, Arizona.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
40 artists </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from all over the USA as well one gal from the United Kingdom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
participated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cards at the very top are called "signature cards"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and they are given out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by each artist </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as a way to get to know one another.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Notice the selection of hearts here...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this might</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
soon become a new collecting obsession</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will definitely post the four pages of cards I received </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in trade for my ATCs </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a later blogpost...:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Red Hand.Book.</div>

No holds are barred here.</div>

the colored and the "ink only"...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the single day and the multiple day...</div>

just plain "pen dancing" events of my sketchbook life.</div>

no lead sketches or markings or guidelines...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just raw pen markings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
finding their way across my sketchbook pages....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which were usually balanced uncomfortably </div>

on my lap.</div>
