A Silly Limerick
It’s okay to want to be silly,
When day-to-day life can be pilly,
It just takes a word
Or a drawing absurd
To lighten your day willy-nilly!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It’s that time again… the third installment of “The Art of Silliness” starts in just a few days!
(January 5th!)
If you’ve been thinking about signing up, but just haven’t been sure, here are the Top Five Reasons that might just tip the (fish) scales:
5. You get to complete activity worksheets, third-grade style.
4. The drawings you create are meant to be silly: not perfect + not stressful = FUN!
3. You can mix metaphors all you want and pretend you did it on purpose.
2. You want to lighten up, in your artwork and your life.
1. January is the PERFECT time for an online class, and it’s just $25!

Hello! The class has officially “started,” but you are welcome to sign up anytime until Feb. 3rd and work at your own pace!

Thank you for the Silly Limerick. I’ll print it out and pin it up to remind me when I’m having a pilly day.
My husband gave me “Drawing Lab” for Christmas – what a wonderful gift that was.
So with the “Silly Limerick”, “Drawing Lab”, and the anticipation of both “Silly the Third” and “The Sketchbook Challenge”, 2011 is already off to a great start!

So I just wen to your blog directly (not through google link which takes to carlasoheim.com) where there was a different image – Garibaldi – (not fish? shown here) – and I was able to sign up – the fee was $25, wasn’t it $30 through the link on this page?
Anyway…..paypal says I’m signed up!!

My smart husband (he knows that way to my heart is through art supplies & books) also bought me the Drawing lab for Christmas. As being silly is one of my top resolutions for 2011 – I am getting to do the course too yipeeee. Plus I need to raise 1001 handmade journals for my charity event this year ………… the silliest things will help me achieve that
