illustration friday: infinite

Here's my submission this this weeks illustration friday theme of "infinite".

Doesn't it seem like doing the laundry is an infinite task? As soon as you are done, there is more to do!

I worked on this piece today and the idea came to me partly because I am doing laundry in between making art, fortunately I am not ironing like this gal! Have a great weekend everyone!

Good take on the theme. Minutes ago I mentioned to my brother that the thing I hated about Laundry was that it was never actually done.

Lovely collage - I like the peach-yellow with the blue.
(I iron Hama beads, mostly ;-)

or you can be like me and don't iron...haha. I just wear wrinkly clothes. :)

thanks for the link to your friends website 'aplacetobark'. She does incredible work and i only wish i could do more for the animals in my community. I really would love to live in a place where I can have tons of property and rescue animals. Maybe one day. :)

Good one, but I love ironing (does that make me odd?) I find it relaxing to be able to iron out life's little wrinkles.

Ironing...urgh! I really always try getting away with not doing much of this. My friends are always surprised when I tell them I dont iron very often at all!! But really... I just cant stand it!
I love this fun piece. Her expression is priceless!

Claudine, you are so right! I try to fit the house work in where I can...that's probably why I don't entertain much! lol! Wonderful piece, as usual!
