Illustration Friday: Breezy

Illustration Friday: Instinct

If you regularly read my blog, I bet you could have seen this coming if I told you the word "instinct." Of course I did a mother's instinct, because that is my life these days, and what a good one it is! I was thinking of a modern abstract sculpture my parents have of a mother and baby as I drew this. My dad gave it to my mom after the birth of my brother and I've always liked it.

Inaugural Illustration Friday

I always forget how much I love to draw. In an effort to keep producing some artwork during this busy time, I'm committing to Illustration Friday, so at least I'll be doing a drawing per week. Colored pencil will be my chosen medium; it is colorful, clean, and requires no set-up! This week's word was "Celebrate," and I started pretty simple.

Constructive criticism is welcome!

Sketchbook Wraps

My newest project, created in an effort to combine all my scraps of material with bookbinding somehow. Ever since I got pregnant I've had this strong desire to clean everything extraneous out of the house! Not so easy when you're sentimentally attached to almost anything and everything:)



But, it's easier for me to part with supplies if they're transformed into something useful, like a book. Hence the Sketchbook Wraps to use up all my bits and pieces of Kaffe Fassett fabric. Who wouldn't want to draw or doodle in a book covered with these fantastic prints? And I think the vintage buttons add a nice touch on the cover fasteners. There's just enough room in back to slip five shortie colored pencils too, so no good idea goes unrecorded.
