This week's illustration friday topic is small. Since I was just reading a book review on "Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions" by Lisa Randall, my first thought was of string theory, the physics theory that attempts to unify quantum mechanics and relativity in a ten dimensional universe where infinitesimally small vibrating strings are the foundation of our reality. One of the biggest problems with this theory is that these theoretical strings are so tiny that it is not possible to build a particle accelerator strong enough to detect their presence.
Now if that isn't small, I don't know what is...
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We did-- and are feeling very thankful that we'll all be home this weekend to rest and play together. We're going to decorate for Christmas, play some board games, read a lot of books, and build a gingerbread house. Hope you all have a great weekend too!

Now what is this "friday-thing"? You come up with a word and illustrate it? That sounds like fun! Myabe I'd like to "play" too!
And maybe other artists will play!
Friday can be an art-day project like monday is a writing project on Jo's (
try this:

It keeps you drawing if you're feeling bereft of ideas, and it keeps you from getting overfocused on one thing if you're in the midst of an intense project. I try to keep them quick and uncomplicated-- otherwise I think it could become a real time sink!
Have fun!
Nice Music!
Here is the link, Kevin, I keep thinking I will participate, but the weeks just sneak right by!

Re: Nice Music!
I love to see what people come up with. Some of them are really good, and others, not so much. It's a really international crowd-- a lot from Europe, Australia, China, and South America. I just make myself a rule that the painting can't take longer that about 1/2 hour to do,so it doesn't bog me down-- I've got loads of other things I need to be doing!

Glad you decided to do it!
But I sorta like the idea so much I considered writing a PB around it. It was just two chubby little kid hands (you know, with the dimples still in the spots above the fingers) drawing a holiday painting with a "Merry Kwanzikah!" banner held by two angels at the top. The drawing was Rudolph, only with a black, red, and green colored glowing nose and eight candles balanced on his antlers. Oh well, it was cuter than it sounds. At least to me...probably good I didn't send it now that I read this description...

You're ahead of me on the Christmas stuff-- I did a little shopping today with my daughter, but we don't have the tree up yet. We always get a real tree, so we usually wait... I can't wait for that good pine smell, though! My youngest also asks every morning where we're going. He gets disappointed if we aren't!
