Hello, Friend, detail

I was lucky enough to be featured on the beautiful blog, The Constant Gatherer, by Katie Runnels (a fellow SCAD alumni) who makes the most lovely artwork from vintage treasures. She is well known for her yarn wreaths (see detail photo) which are AMAZING!

Please check out her blog to read the very kind post about my etsy shop, a paper bag of pearls!

Thanks so much for your support Katie!

Illustration Friday- "intricate"

This is my Illustration Friday drawing for this week's topic, "Intricate". Intricate is a good topic for me, since it is actually really hard for me to draw something "simple". I think that I inherited that from my Dad- I have been exposed to his extremely detailed and amazing artwork my whole life. Anyways- I did attempt something new, detail work with watercolor on the stones.  Please click the image for a larger view! And check out the other "Intricate" entries here! 

Yellow+Blue Collection

Ok...the Organized Collection thing is really fun! Might be a new obsession... 

Pink! + Organized Collections on Flickr

One of my favorite groups on Flickr (so far, I am sure there is so much that I have yet to discover) is the Organized Collection pool, that was created by amazing artist Camilla Engman. 

I added my the top picture to the group and just by peeking around the other photographs, am inspired to start arranging everything I own into curated collections! Go check it out immediately here.

So, this is my "pink" collection...I just desperately love pink. Can't help it.

(and a happy happy happy birthday to my beautiful sister! I can't wait to post about what I got for her- but I have to make sure she got it first so I don't ruin the surprise!)

Daily drawing

I drew you some pretty amoebas for you.

Illustration Friday! Breezy

This week's topic is Breezy! I was thinking about how delightful a warm, sunny, flower scented breeze would be...

Chickens!

I drew these chickens yesterday...I guess they are practicing their balancing act, you know...just in case. On another note, I listed a few new things in the etsy shop here:

and also opened a new flickr account here! Check it out and have a great weekend!!!
