I can’t believe we are in the homestretch of #inktober !! Today’s prompt is EXPENSIVE which made me think of where Id@like to travel next and just how expensive (but so worth it!!) travel can be. What’s your dream destination? #create365 #drawing #create #penandink #sketch #mightcoulddrawtoday #mightcouldinktobertoday #travel #flight #airplane #letsgoTake me to your clogged DRAIN because today is Day 21 of the 2018 #inktober challenge! I thought I’d try to draw a ‘simple’ shape like a plunger. Turns out there are a lot of weird complex overlapping curves in a plunger! #create365 #create #drawing #penandink #mightcoulddrawtoday #mightcouldinktobertoday #draweveryday #sketchCalling it in a bit today for #inktober (prompt: BREAKABLE) because I am trying to get organized for the first episode of my live video series, “Pillow Talk with Nikki”. Which sounds rather more scintillating than it is likely to be given that the intent is to read a short excerpt from a book each night at bedtime. In a perfect world half my audience will be asleep by the time I’m done... That’s going to get underway at some point within the next half hour and I’m not exactly ready! I’m hoping to simulcast (!) here and on my Facebook page, but the gods of technology will determine how successfully I manage to pull that off! So, meanwhile, here’s today’s quick inkreation... #create365 #create #artjournal #penandink #mightcoulddrawtoday #mightcouldinktobertoday #breakableHard to photograph Icarus about to get scorched because my #artjournal is very bulgy! #inktober Prompt: scorched #mightcoulddrawtoday #mightcouldinktobertoday #collage #getmessyartjournal #collage #icarus #create365 #mythology #draweveryday#inktober prompt today is BOTTLE, handy because the #creativebug Inktober lesson today was about bottles... Combine ink with one of my stash of prepped background pages and a bit of carefully saved shiny gold paper (yes, I have a chocolate habit) and some lovely origami paper all fastened together with my good old Mod Podge... #getmessyartjournal #artjournal #mightcoulddrawtoday #mightcouldinktobertoday #collage #penandink #bottle #create #create365 #alteredbook #draweveryday #gold #shinypaper #modpodge #modpodgerocks #creativebug #creativebuginktoberSWOLLEN is today’s #inktober prompt... tried to do minimal drawing and maximum inking... there is an eye in there somewhere. #blackeye #mightcoulddrawtoday #mightcouldinktobertoday #draweveryday #create #create365 #artjournal #penandinkDown to Earth: How Kids Help Feed the World

Awesome – I was watching it at work and had to repeat the video to show a colleague because I was giggling so much! Shades of the opening scenes in the Temple Grandin clip from the other day, except it didn’t turn out so well 🙂

It was watching the Temple Grandin video that reminded me we had shot some silly footage of me lying around under the turkeys (as one does) earlier in the season but I had never got around to doing anything with it… Glad you enjoyed it!

That is funny. We have wild turkeys that attack our cars. Does that count?

Absolutely! One year we had a pack of wild peacocks start attacking shiny bumpers and mirrors. It was so bad everyone on the street had to drape their vehicles in bed sheets!
Thanks for stopping by!

I had no idea it was so bad–I know my chickens get angry about the words “stuffing” and “Sunday dinner.” Turkeys have developed an intelligence beyond… 😉
I love this!
