something new...

I've been inspired by Mindy Lacefield lately and wanted to draw and paint girls, i actually first did some girl and fairy drawings years ago before i was really doing any journaling and i just feel this urge to get back to it, but the painting of them is something i've never done before and i thought i would use an antique book that i have had for awhile and do lots of practicing in there, and then i also wanted to keep a little sketchbook just for the drawings. Mindy has a lot of art classes on her website and i may decide to take one for fun.

working on beaded jewelry this week...

Hello, this week i've been making some jewelry with handpainted wood pendants and some pretty beads. The one on the right has a little bit of a chain link at the top and the one on the left is beaded to the top. They are both 22 inches around and the drop is 2 and 1/2 inches long with a 1 and 1/2 inch handpainted disc. They can be found in the shop here

sketching...

I've been drawing in my sketchbook, some business cards and a packet of planner stamps...

and then i decided to redo this one that i previously had just sketched and i did it with pen and watercolor

and then these are some doodled flower pages that were very relaxing to do
