drawing | 6 and 7

uh-hoh. sixes and sevens... starting with animals....


how shall we tackle this six and seven, if not for its dates? ghent playing cards?



i'm sure i had a plan, but when i opened up my cards box this morning...



i found more than i bargained for, all in the spirit of 6 and 7



without really wanting nor having to make my hands dirty... 

i ended up in another card domino game with animals. i'll say.  ♥

PS - i've tried the linky business, but it hasn't worked.... i'll pop back regularly and link everyone that's blogged in colour type below.
barbara, ariane rose, annton bs, veronica, tammie, carole, patrice, norma, lucia, sharmon, cerulean, mano, tanïa, ...

  12. That card box of yours is a veritable treasure chest of wondrous visual delights that get the senses going for sure! One should have/keep clean hands when handling cards! But...wait until the cards bring ideas...your hands won't be clean for long, dear friend! Thank you for hosting, N, x

  13. Now that's my kind of being at sixes and sevens! Usually, I'm in the middle of the other one!!! LOL. Especially this week since I'm hopelessly late. Oh well, chalking it up to the universe. Thank you so much for hosting Nadine, it was lovely resurrecting a canvas from my "burn" pile. :D Big hugs.

  16. so finally, a little time to properly comment. those sixes and sevens, first of all thank you for teaching me about this concept. I had never heard of it before, but it fits so many familiar situations. and on dealing with them, at least I can't be creative about them. not when I am in the middle of them. not at all. afterwards, when coming out of the woods, then I a can at least write bout it. never paint. oh these card games, beautiful! xo
