My good friend Diana Evans has started a new interactive art blog called the Daily Art Stop that teaches, inspires and challenges its readers to create art and follow their hearts.The theme this week is friendship, and I am posting my two carvings above as my entry. I can truly say that Emmitt's friendship is one of the most wonderful things that has ever happened to me. Emmitt touches everyone he meets . The first carving reminds me of Emmitt and his best friend Oscar, and the second is a self portrait of him and me.
Another very important friendship in my life is with my twin sister Melanie. I am so lucky to have her.Here is a bear she has created out of felted wool sweaters. It is now available in her Etsy Store. Isn't he just amazing?
I just got my set of 24 pencils from Dick Blick today with a free pad of drawing paper!
I ripped open the package and drew this little pug. Isn't that fun! I felt like a little kid in a toy store and it is one of the best feelings in the whole world.
I appreciate all my friends that are fuzzy, family and in the blogosphere!
This last drawing is all because of my friends, Sandy and Marianne who both blogged about their new sets of Inktense Pencils that I had to try after their reviews.

Friendships are everything Melissa! You are so very lucky to have such a strong bond with Melanie and Emmitt!
I've also had the Inktense pencils for awhile! I'm such an art supply junkie and it sound as if you might be in the same boat... lol!

Love, love, love the 2 pugs at the top... reminds me of when I had Oskar & Louie. (Oskar passed away in 1997). I'm going to check out the art store to see if they have those colored pencils. Another excuse to go there!!
This is a beautiful post, Melissa! Love the one of you & Emmitt together. xoxo Diane
Thats it, I have got to get me some of these pencils! Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

True friends are a blessing :) And aren't animals the most wonderful friends? I just love art supplies & Dick Blick, i agree it is like being kid in a toy store (with a credit card, lol!) It is a sure way to boost one's creativity! happy drawing!
Melissa;
I love your friendship carvings and your pug drawing too. Awesome creations by you.

Thanks for sharing a great friendship post. I met my daughter's furry kitten friend today and we both agreed furry friends are great...and human friends, well they are just the best.

Friendships are what keep people going. Mom's best friend, other than auntie, is Blondie. They have known each other 28 years, and been through thick and thin together.
Mom knows about being a kid in a candy store with new items. She's like that when she gets new fabric. Glad you like so much of mom;s stash. Did she tell you there's more that you didn't see?

Great post M. I was working on my submission and it turned into a mess. :( Guess I'll wait to see what Diana has in store for us this week.
Frendship sure is the greatest thing, isn't it! Both in and outside the blogosphere.
Hugs,
Ane
