Coloring Page TUESDAY: Princess Dance
Every little girl is a princess to somebody. Celebrate it! CLICK HERE for more coloring pages!
MONDAY: Rosslyn Chapel
If you've ever read or watched Dan Brown's THE DA VINCI CODE, then you've heard of Rosslyn Chapel. It's where the movie concludes, where they discover Sophie's lineage. And while it put the chapel solidly on the tourist map, it's actually been around for over 9,000 years. CLICK HERE to read more.
SUNDAY:
Video of the Week...
A Monster Calls: I am so looking forward to this movie. The book, by Patrick Ness, was amazing! Click the image to watch the trailer at Empire Online.
Porty on a Pretty Day
One of the things I love about Edinburgh is how quickly you can be... elsewhere. A short bus ride can export you to completely different worlds - skiing, hiking, or laying on the beach. Click here to read more.
SATURDAY:
Illustration Challenge #49
Today's challenge is pen and ink. You can go fancy with a micron, or go old school with a ball-point. But give this one some time. Build up dark areas through crosshatching and make sure to create strong contrast.
FRIDAY: Linky List
CLICK HERE to check out this week's interesting links, including the article, "Debunking the Myth of the 10,000-hours Rule: What It Actually Takes to Reach Genius-Level Excellence"
THURSDAY FEATURE:
Rafael Lopez's MAYBE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
INTERVIEW EXCERPT: This was the first time I had the opportunity to create a book based on my own experiences as a community muralist. I like to create mood boards where I paste imagery, textures and key words that might fuel the visual storytelling. I rode around on my bicycle and took photographs of neighborhood buildings, printed these out and put them up in my workspace.

WEDNESDAY:
The Union Canal
On the west side of Edinburgh begins the Union Canal. This man-made waterway, a true engineering feat, flows from downtown Edinburgh all the way to Glasgow. It opened in 1822 chiefly as a way to ship fuel from the Forth & Clyde Canal. It has a small lock at Fountainbridge (Edinburgh) near Akva, a restaurant we frequent for our friend's Scran Salon (a gathering of foodies), but we'd never followed the path alongside it. The weather has turned gorgeous here, so we recently decided to go exploring. CLICK HERE to read all about it.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"Writing without revising is the literary equivalent of waltzing gaily out of the house in your underwear."
