Hurrah!

<br />
<br />(...yes, I know - but I just had to break out the vintage dancing bananas for this one...)
<br />
<br />Now it's time to finally finish various website updates I started working on back in June, begin showing this Doodle Diary some love again at last - and maybe even finally manage to influence the movements of the Universe enough so that my MildredLovesYou.com domain is finally (FINALLY!!!) back in working order <span style="font-style:italic;">as well</span>. Wish me luck!
<br />
<br />Cheers, LaLaVox

There was a major power outage on Sunday apparently caused by lightening. Since I am not well versed in server-speak I don't know exactly what's going on at this point, but what I <span style="font-style: italic;">do</span> know is that my website has been offline <span style="font-style: italic;">since Sunday</span>!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://status.aws.amazon.com/" target="_blank">http://status.aws.amazon.com/</a>
<br />
<br />I don't suppose it matters <span style="font-style: italic;">too</span> much, since I don't run high-powered, financially important sites - and also since I've sort of been on a mental vacation away from my websites and Doodle Diary since our big MildredLovesYou anniversary/birthday bash back in mid-June - but I still find it quite distressing!
<br />
<br />I'll post again once service has returned.
<br />
<br />Cheers, LaLaVox

Portraits and Mutants from the Archives<span style="font-style:italic;">I know that I will absolutely</span> <span style="font-weight:bold;">not</span> <span style="font-style:italic;">have time for new Doodles today (my Doodle well seems a tad dry at the moment anyway). But here's something I've had lying around as a draft for a while, wondering if I should actually post it or not. Since there will be no new (or old) Doodles today I've decided to go ahead and post it after all:</span><br /><br />Alright... This has nothing to do with Doodles or doodling, but since my <a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-style:italic;">Mildred Loves You</span> blog</a> seems even <span style="font-style:italic;">less</span> like the right place for this post, I will deposit it here...<br /><br />Once upon a time one of my cousins asked me to draw a portrait of a cat of hers who was getting on in years. I did several from photos she sent, but wasn't happy with any of them really.<br /><br />They are hanging on my cousin's walls though, and looking at the photocopies I made of them back in the day (while sorting through boxes recently), I've decided they're not really all that awful after all.<br /><br />The following are scans of these photocopies...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/CatPortrait2002a.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/CatPortrait2002b.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/CatPortrait2002bDetailCrop.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/CatPortrait2002c.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/CatPortrait2002d.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/CatPortrait2002dDetailCrop.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />And here is a series of mutant animal "mash-ups" from even <span style="font-style:italic;">further</span> back in my foggy past. It was <span style="font-style:italic;">so</span> long ago in the meantime that I'll spare you the details. Don't ask, just look at the pictures... ;)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/zebrahippo.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/tigergiraffe.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/pandarhino.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/kangaphant.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/GatorichDetailCrop.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/TigeraffeDetailCrop.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />The drawing materials used for these animal "mashups", by the way, were a <a href="http://www.rotring.com/en/produkte/technisches_zeichnen/rapidograph.php" target="_blank">Rapidiograph technical pen</a> (the 0.18 nib - if I'm remembering correctly), a no.2 pencil, layout markers, and white bleedproof gouache (for some of the the highlights).<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LaLaVox<br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com" target="_blank">www.lalavoxbox.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou.html" target="_blank">www.mildredlovesyou.com</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/2011/05/mildredlovesyoucom-is-turning-three_28.html" target="_blank">The "MildredLovesYou.com-Turns-Three" Party on June 15th</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/html_pages/doodles/index.html" target="_blank">The LaLaVoxBox.com Doodle Gallery<br />(unlikely to be updated anytime soon, but thanks to this<br />blog, now continually acquiring new future members ;))</a>LaLaVox (Mildred Loves You!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077048759845907030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800646594905918626.post-23055648014747310672011-05-30T20:07:00.011+02:002011-05-31T01:04:24.467+02:00Doodling Again: Day 50 (Rejects!)...My <a href="http://www.stationeryart.com/pentel-pentel-gfkp-refillable-pocket-kanji-fude-brush-refills-p-52.html" target="_blank">Pentel GFKP Refillable Pocket Kanji Fude Brush Pen</a>, by the way, is apparently not frayed after all, but was only slightly clumped after being somewhat dried out (I guess). The line has become nice and smooth again.<br /><br />But I still can't draw worth crap this evening - in spite of what <span style="font-style:italic;">should</span> be <span style="font-style:italic;">inspiring</span> brush-stroke smoothness.<br /><br />I think I have mentioned before that my Doodles are done with no pre-planning and no models, so it's not often that the first Doodle that escapes from my pen or pencil also makes it onto this blog.<br /><br />But I'm exhausted at the moment, so tonight you get these 2 rejects instead of new People-Doodles...<br /><br />New rejects:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleRejectsMay30th2011.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />...Um... Hm. As I was posting these Achim came in and asked me why the left one is a reject. Well, alright then; the left one is a new People-Doodle and the right one is a reject. How 'bout that? :P ;)<br /><br />And here's the old Creature-Doodle to finish off the day:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/C38.m.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br />Cheers,<br />LaLaVox<br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com" target="_blank">www.lalavoxbox.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou.html" target="_blank">www.mildredlovesyou.com</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/2011/05/mildredlovesyoucom-is-turning-three_28.html" target="_blank">The "MildredLovesYou.com-Turns-Three" Party on June 15th</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/html_pages/doodles/index.html" target="_blank">The LaLaVoxBox.com Doodle Gallery<br />(unlikely to be updated anytime soon, but thanks to this<br />blog, now continually acquiring new future members ;))</a>LaLaVox (Mildred Loves You!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077048759845907030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800646594905918626.post-27690944347081582222011-05-29T14:39:00.008+02:002011-05-29T23:44:35.600+02:00Doodling Again: Day 49...Continuing to stay with my <a href="http://www.stationeryart.com/pentel-pentel-gfkp-refillable-pocket-kanji-fude-brush-refills-p-52.html" target="_blank">Pentel GFKP Refillable Pocket Kanji Fude Brush Pen</a> for today's new Doodles as well...<br /><br />A new People-Doodle + a new Creature Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay29th2011a.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay29th2011b.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />An old Creature-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/C37.m.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br />Cheers,<br />LaLaVox<br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com" target="_blank">www.lalavoxbox.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou.html" target="_blank">www.mildredlovesyou.com</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/2011/05/mildredlovesyoucom-is-turning-three_28.html" target="_blank">The "MildredLovesYou.com-Turns-Three" Party on June 15th</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/html_pages/doodles/index.html" target="_blank">The LaLaVoxBox.com Doodle Gallery<br />(unlikely to be updated anytime soon, but thanks to this<br />blog, now continually acquiring new future members ;))</a>LaLaVox (Mildred Loves You!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077048759845907030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800646594905918626.post-56538903812601050702011-05-28T20:23:00.006+02:002011-05-28T20:33:24.231+02:00Doodling Again: Day 48I'm staying with my (now slightly frayed) <a href="http://www.stationeryart.com/pentel-pentel-gfkp-refillable-pocket-kanji-fude-brush-refills-p-52.html" target="_blank">Pentel GFKP Refillable Pocket Kanji Fude Brush Pen</a> for today's new People-Doodle too...<br /><br />A new People-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay28th2011.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />An old Creature-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/C36.m.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br />And there's been an update over at my "Mildred Loves You" blog today as well.

Quality Control No. 82056)</span>. According to the website I found while Googling for it, it must have been produced sometime during the 1970s: if you scroll down a bit you can find it at this page of the <a href="http://leadholder.com/wood-turq.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Leadholder Drafting Pencil Museum</span></a>.<br /><br />And here's my rather dreadful scan of the actual pencil in question:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/EagleTurquioseVintageDrawingPencil.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />I have no idea why I have this pencil. I'm assuming it once belonged to my dad, and that he never used it because he's an H-pencil kinda guy; not the sort of fellow who would use a B-pencil at all. This would mean that this pencil has been with me for years and years and years, traveling with me from Mississippi, USA to Berlin, Germany in various boxes or other, to eventually land in a drawer next to my desk lying in wait to be used by me at long last. I can't recall ever having used it before. Ever.<br /><br />But enough of that! Let's move on to today's 2nd new Doodle of the Day...<br /><br />For this 2nd new People-Doodle I simply used my tried-and-true <a href="http://www.uniball.com/catalog/show/product.php?no=6" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:bold;">uni-ball eye (fine)</span></a> pen once again... ;)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay26th2011b.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />And now the old Creature-Doodle of the Day (one of my favorites)...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/C34.m.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br /><br />Cheers,<br />LaLaVox<br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com" target="_blank">www.lalavoxbox.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou.html" target="_blank">www.mildredlovesyou.com</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/html_pages/doodles/index.html" target="_blank">The LaLaVoxBox.com Doodle Gallery<br />(unlikely to be updated anytime soon, but thanks to this<br />blog, now continually acquiring new future members ;))</a>LaLaVox (Mildred Loves You!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077048759845907030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800646594905918626.post-49555572671600157502011-05-25T18:33:00.022+02:002011-05-25T19:31:05.284+02:00Doodling Again: Day 45 (with a 3D bonus)...Today's new People-Doodle was drawn with a <a href="http://www.uniball.com/catalog/show/product.php?no=6" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:bold;">uni-ball eye (fine)</span></a> pen and a <a href="http://www.faber-castell.de/40976/Products/Art-Graphic/Art-Graphic-product-line/Don-Colley/Polychromos-artists-colour-pencil/fcv2_popup.aspx" target="_blank">Faber Castell Polychromos</a> pencil in Light Carmine (127)...<br /><br />A new People-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay25th2011.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />An old Creature-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/C33.m.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br />And as a bonus today, here's a 3D version of Doodle #C33 that was made for me by my bro, Mr. Invisible, as a birthday present once upon a time long ago.

And I was, by the way, also thinking a bit about one <a href="http://www.implement13.com/" target="_blank">Xanthippe Svanström</a> and her imagery and interests as I drew this one. ;) (Thank you for inspiring me, my Dear.)

I've just put together a little web page about a music project that <a href="http://kunstlertreu.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Achim Treu (aka UFO Hawaii)</a> and I are calling <span style="font-weight:bold;">The LaLaVox Box</span>:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/thelalavoxboxmusic.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/thelalavoxboxmusic/TheLaLaVoxBoxBlogPic.jpg" border="0"/><br />www.lalavoxbox.com/thelalavoxboxmusic.html</a><br /><br />This is the project that I was hinting around about (or posting something related to) before closing my <a href="http://thelalavoxdoodlediary.blogspot.com/2011/04/doodling-again-day-28-with-mermaid.html" target="_blank">Doodling Again: Day 28 (with a Mermaid Bonus)</a> + <a href="http://thelalavoxdoodlediary.blogspot.com/2011/05/doodling-again-day-40-with-mermaid.html" target="_blank">Doodling Again: Day 40 (with a Mermaid Bonus)</a> posts.<br /><br />We decided it would be nice to do a nautical album - posting one song a month for the next year or so. And we have the pleasure of being able to add <a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou/loreleivanora.html" target="_blank">Lorelei Vanora</a> and <a href="http://www.carolynturgeon.com/" target="_blank">Carolyn Turgeon</a> (with her <a href="http://iamamermaid.com/" target="_blank">"I Am A Mermaid" blog</a>) into the mix as well! <br /><br />In a past post, I said that in the future I thought I would probably be posting mermaidy stuff more over at my <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Mildred Loves You" blog</span>, but it looks as though at least <span style="font-style:italic;">The-LaLaVox-Box-oriented</span> mermaidy stuff has found its home here instead.<br /><br />I'll be keeping you posted!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LaLaVox<br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com" target="_blank">www.lalavoxbox.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou.html" target="_blank">www.mildredlovesyou.com</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/html_pages/doodles/index.html" target="_blank">The LaLaVoxBox.com Doodle Gallery<br />(unlikely to be updated anytime soon, but thanks to this<br />blog, now continually acquiring new future members ;))</a>LaLaVox (Mildred Loves You!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077048759845907030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800646594905918626.post-86794917012770670482011-05-22T21:44:00.013+02:002011-05-23T09:43:46.165+02:00Doodling Again: Day 42...The brush tip of my <a href="http://www.stationeryart.com/pentel-pentel-gfkp-refillable-pocket-kanji-fude-brush-refills-p-52.html" target="_blank">Pentel GFKP</a> pen (which I've used for all of the previous new People Doodles posted this month) seems to have gotten a bit frayed in the meantime, and it's not giving me those smooth + juicy brush strokes that I like so much. So, I thought I'd draw today's Doodle with something else. Today's weapon of choice is an <a href="http://www.craftyarts.co.uk/acatalog/edding_1800_Profipen.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:bold;">edding 1800 profipen 0.1</span></a>.<br /><br />Today's new People-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay22nd2011.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />Today's old People-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/P15.m.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br />Cheers,<br />LaLaVox<br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com" target="_blank">www.lalavoxbox.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou.html" target="_blank">www.mildredlovesyou.com</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/html_pages/doodles/index.html" target="_blank">The LaLaVoxBox.com Doodle Gallery<br />(unlikely to be updated anytime soon, but thanks to this<br />blog, now continually acquiring new future members ;))</a>LaLaVox (Mildred Loves You!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077048759845907030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800646594905918626.post-89103549893195022972011-05-21T10:09:00.009+02:002011-05-22T19:44:56.167+02:00Doodling Again: Day 41A new People-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay21st2011.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />An old People-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/P14.w.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br />By the way... Some of the old Doodles (dated 2001) were drawn before 2001. This one (#P14) is a good example of one that was scribbled on a corner of paper <span style="font-style:italic;">well before</span> 2001. They are dated 2001 because <span style="font-style:italic;">that's</span> the year I had the idea to begin <span style="font-style:italic;">collecting</span> and <span style="font-style:italic;">numbering</span> the little collection of doodles that had been piling up in my archive bit by bit over the years. ;) <br /><br />Since the 2001 beginnings however, I've made an effort to number the Doodles in chronological order according to the order in which they've made their escape from my pencils and pens...<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LaLaVox<br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com" target="_blank">www.lalavoxbox.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou.html" target="_blank">www.mildredlovesyou.com</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/html_pages/doodles/index.html" target="_blank">The LaLaVoxBox.com Doodle Gallery<br />(unlikely to be updated anytime soon, but thanks to this<br />blog, now continually acquiring new future members ;))</a>LaLaVox (Mildred Loves You!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077048759845907030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800646594905918626.post-40297862471780804182011-05-20T21:59:00.021+02:002011-05-24T14:57:00.388+02:00Doodling Again: Day 40 (with a Mermaid Bonus)Dear me! It's been another mad day of racing and panting, just like <a href="http://thelalavoxdoodlediary.blogspot.com/2011/05/doodling-again-day-39.html" target="_blank">yesterday</a> - so this is the 2nd late-in-the-day Daily Doodle in a row.<br /><br />On a less hectic note, it's also been a very mermaidy day today. Which is why today's new People-Doodle is actually a Mermaid-Doodle. <br /><br />Unfortunately though, I don't have a Mermaid category in my Doodle Gallery. And since I don't feel convincingly enough inclined to put her into the Creature-Doodle category, the label "People-Doodle" will simply have to do.<br /><br />...More about why today is a mermaidy day below, by the way. But first, the business-as-usual stuff...<br /><br />A new People-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay20th2011.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />An old People-Doodle:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/P13.w.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br />And now for the mermaidy stuff... <br /><br />...I hinted at it a bit in my "<a href="http://thelalavoxdoodlediary.blogspot.com/2011/04/doodling-again-day-28-with-mermaid.html" target="_blank">Day 28 (with a Mermaid Bonus)</a>" post back at the end of April. And today the aforementioned <a href="http://www.carolynturgeon.com/" target="_blank">Carolyn Turgeon</a> (aforementioned on <span style="font-weight:bold;">Day 28</span> that is) has blogged in sparkly and delightful ways about one <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou/loreleivanora.html" target="_blank">Lorelei Vanora</a> (The Singing Mermaid).</span> She mentioned <span style="font-weight:bold;">yours truly</span> as well (introducing upcoming musical activities hinted at back on the aforementioned <span style="font-weight:bold;">Day 28</span>)... :P ;)<br /><br />So now swim with great haste to Carolyn's <span style="font-weight:bold;">I Am A Mermaid</span> blog and see the giggly goodness contained in her "<a href="http://iamamermaid.com/2011/05/20/berlins-singing-mermaid-lorelei-vanora/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Berlin’s Singing Mermaid, Lorelei Vanora</span></a>" post!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/thelalavoxboxmusic/LoreleiVCarolynTMermaidCrownTLLVB.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />Oh, and one more thing before I go...<br /><br />There's been an update over at my <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Mildred Loves You" blog</span> today as well; another reminder for a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School Berlin</span> session.

I'm back in Berlin now. Time for daily doodling once again... ;)<br /><br />A new People-Doodle...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay18th2011.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />Two old People-Doodles (I thought I'd post these two together today since they are so similar to each other)...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/P10.m.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/P11.m.JPG" border="0"/><br /><br />And one more thing before I go for this time around... In my <a href="http://thelalavoxdoodlediary.blogspot.com/2011/05/doodling-again-day-37-last-daily-doodle.html" target="_blank">"Day 37"</a> post on the 9th, I posted a new doodle drawn with an almost completely dried out <a href="http://www.stationeryart.com/pentel-pentel-gfkp-refillable-pocket-kanji-fude-brush-refills-p-52.html" target="_blank">Pentel GFKP</a> pen. Since then, I've found myself increasingly dissatisfied with the way it had turned out. So upon returning to Berlin and snapping a refill into my pen, I found I couldn't resist updating. Here's the result of the revamping. ;)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/doodles/lrg_images/PeopleDoodleMay9th18th2011.jpg" border="0"/><br /><br />Cheers,<br />LaLaVox<br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com" target="_blank">www.lalavoxbox.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/mildredlovesyou.html" target="_blank">www.mildredlovesyou.com</a><br /><a href="http://mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mildredlovesyou.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.lalavoxbox.com/html_pages/doodles/index.html" target="_blank">The LaLaVoxBox.com Doodle Gallery<br />(unlikely to be updated anytime soon, but thanks to this<br />blog, now continually acquiring new future members ;))</a>LaLaVox (Mildred Loves You!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14077048759845907030noreply@blogger.com0
