A Kind Night In Progress

I am so happy to be back to blogging, hopefully with my normal regularity now!

Although I have come back to find that the Blogger interface has

completely changed and I can't say I am a fan of the changes whatsoever!

Anyhow...let me start to catch you up on abunch of new images...

...so bear with me as I figure out everything

and get a new font etc sorted out!!

In the meantime here's a new piece almost complete,

it's a coloured pencil on paper called "A Kind Night",

it's taking awhile as it's full of lots of detail but it'll all be worth it I am hoping.

I'll be able to show you the final piece soon XO.

Rainbow Rabbit

What do you think of my rainbow rabbit so far?

I have some pretty cool ideals for this image, I hope I can pull them off!

Pencil On Watercolour Paper

I really fell in love with using my beloved colored pencils on really textured watercolor paper.

I feel like the colors are so deep and I can layer like crazy, especially with the Prismacolor.

Sometimes I drag my heels on images because I am multi-passionate & can't decide on a medium.

 but now and then an image just scream on out

"I want to be done in watercolor...I want to be a lino cut...I want to be ink pen on board"

I love it when that happens and I try not to ignore the instinct.

Florin Blue

Hey everyone.  Sorry about that short absence, I've been having a hard time with the usual pain.

Here's another new lovely, I am calling this one "Florin Blue"

I am slowly setting up shops elsewhere so it's not listed in my usual Etsy shop but if your interested

you can sign up to Keep In Touch and I'll let you know when & where and how it lands XO

Nesting Nellie

Hi Everyone I am back...suddenly it's August already!

I have a brand new image to show you today...

Her name is "Nesting Nellie"

and she's already listed in my shop if she's striking your fancy XO

Gold Touches

I've been putting little gold highlights on a few original pieces...

whiles watching 'Once Upon A Time', the two activities seem to go hand in hand!

Florin Blue In Progress...

Guys...look...Florin Blue is looking really pretty so far...

(Is it bad or cheesy when as artist says that?  hmmm I don't think so really,

we've got to like our own work after all because if we don't how can we expect anyone too right!?)

Anyhow, you know that excited feeling you get in the middle of a new piece,

that "This Is Going To Be One Of My Best One Yet..." feelings?...

I've got that feeling with this one & usually with that feeling I move slowly so I don't mess up

but with this one, I am so anxious to see how it turn out & if I was right, it's speeding right along.

(Well okay okay...speeding along as quickly as colored pencils allows anyhow ha ha!)

Feather Song

All done...I've titled this one

'Feather Song'

prints will be in my shop by the end of this week, they may be in a limited edition.

Are You Following Me?

So I whiles I do use other social media beside my beloved blog here,

this blog space (besides my website) is where you'll get the ultimate overall view of what I am doing,

(even if I am often behind real time)...

Even if it seems blogs are on a downward trend,

I don't ever see myself leaving my blog for any other platforms....

 

Now and than however,

I do put extra things on Instagram that I don't post here,

(just like I now and than put photos into my Flickr albums that I don't post anywhere else).

So, that being said, maybe you should probably follow me over there too...

I hope you'll click right here and join me on IG (and Flickr), if your not already XO.

Works Almost Done

The lovelies signed up to Keep In Touch with me & the buns usually get to see new works first...

These guys are coming up, I am excited to show you, Sign up Here if you want first peeks/dibs too.

The Union

A new coloured pencil called The Union

Prints will be in the shop by the end of this week.

Handmade Art Cards

I made a big batch of art cards recently.  They are a lot of work & a bit hard on the body

with all the bending over for precise cutting & folding & glittering all by hand but it's worth it...

I'll show you the lovely shop where these end up in another post.

 

 

(I included a picture of Teela & I on the backs of quite of few as my way of remembering my girl).

Don't forget, you can get art cards in my shop & I am happy to make cards from any of my images,

so if you want an image but don't see it as a card, you just have to ask and I'll gladly make it for ya.
