Journal 52 Sweet Treats

Spring Cleaning

I drew this as a journal prompt for Journal 52: Spring Cleaning.  I was having fun with my copic markers - I have been working on faces quite a bit lately, and am really enjoying playing with the facial tones, blending color combinations.  I usually work with a fine black liner, but decided I would see what would happen if I just worked with the pens alone.  I did my preliminary sketch with a prismacolor water soluble pencil in rose, which blends so nicely into the copics more than a regular pencil would.  I love her side smirk!

Just Be

Journal 52,  for this week, Just Be. I thought I would give my words some "Maui flavor", as Maui is one of my favourite places to practice this mantra!


Pathways

A new year for Journal 52, prompts are given once a week. Going to try to do as many as I can again this year. For this week, Pathways.

It's warm in my art room!

 

 

With the last few days' temperatures averaging a chilly -25 Celsius during the day (not counting the wind chill) I have been able to make good on one of my words of intention for 2015 (CREATIVE) and spent some quality time in my art room yesterday.  This is a page inside my Wellness Journal.  I am not sure if I like the polka dot letters or not - they do make it a little difficult to read...but that white pen is just so much fun!

Tiny Sweater

I knit this tiny sweater for my sister-in-law, to hang on her Christmas tree. 

Sometimes I can't part with them...

Once again, I made over 100 Christmas Cards for the Craft Sales.  I love them all, but every once in a while, I make one that I cannot part with. I fell in love with these 3 little people, and the way that all of the elements just came together so nicely.  So now, it is gracing my desk at work. It makes me happy every time I look at it. I hope it makes you happy, too!

Percy's Guitar

Every once in a while you work on a piece, and the process is pure magic. I wish they all flowed out of me the way this one did!  A commissioned piece for a friend - she wanted this for her husband for Christmas. Of course, in my excitement to deliver the finished piece, I did not take a proper scan, and simply took a quick pic with my phone to share with you all.

Christmas Ornaments

The King's Guild Christmas Craft Sale is coming up again in a few weeks, so I have started putting together some things for my table.  These little sweeties are something new that I have put together this year.  They are made from sample tags for counter tops.  The perfect size and weight for Christmas Tree ornaments!
