here is a drawing I completed several months ago. thanks to my husband introducing me to this about 5 years ago, I now appreciate and prefer the delicious taste of french press coffee.
OH, and if you haven’t noticed. I now have a “shop” tab here on my webpage.
something full of meaningless symbols. satisfying nonetheless.
here are some photos of a project i completed a few weeks ago. i dont have the final piece photographed yet. im hoping to use a documenting station on campus that will allow for some amazing photos. so hopefully you can see that soon! until then, here is a glimpse, which seems to be all i have been showing you lately. sorry about that.
i spilled coffee onto cold press watercolor paper, allowed it to dry, then cut it out. i then sewed the dried spill onto foam board with my sewing machine, then sewed a small corduroy patch onto the spill by hand. after all of this, i stitched the foam board piece into a cut out square that was larger (not shown)…..i think a photo can say way more than i am trying to right now, and do a whole lot better job….i will post more photos of the completed stitched coffee spills. in the mean time….here is a preview.
a line drawing created in nature. i found this hanging cord on the horizontal lines simply beautiful.
It’s been a while I know…not posting on my blog does not mean that I have stopped producing art though. I have a sketch in the current issue of underground art school‘s magazine! I was pretty excited to be a part of this magazine! To preview or purchase, just click the image above!
here’s a quick little drawing i threw some watercolor onto…i think shes sort of cute….even with the big mole-looking-thing on her face.
hope youre all having a good friday {thirteenth}!!
when i was younger i often played outside alone, or with my younger, twin neighbors. fortunately for us, we lived near a wooded area, so there was always plenty to explore (in our little world). one thing i remember doing with my friends was pasting feathers, sticks, and strings to trees with mud. Often times too, we would tie rocks to strings to dangle down for our enjoyment.
with this said, i drew this picture without even giving a second thought to my childhood. it wasnt until i was done with it that i remembered the tree we enjoyed as kids. funny how our subconscious works, isnt it?
not so sure i would sit here….
it started off really pretty, then as usual, i couldnt leave it alone, so it turned out like this. but i really like the direction that my trees have taken recently.
tape…with a splash of color. i used this for trisha’s birthday card.
…hope youre having a good one!
im not sure what happened to him….but its interesting to imagine
color splash…..beside a chair
{i would sit here}
my instinct says to cut my hair off (short)….but then i resist.
its been an ongoing struggle with myself.
i think its about to happen soon though….maybe.
see…
{i just realized that my last THREE posts have been about hair…this is getting ridiculous, i just need to suck it up and do it! the next time that i post about hair, it will be to let you know that ive done it!}
bear-birds eat fish
our trees can only dream of looking like this again….[someday]
im thinking of turning this into a linoleum cut. i will let you know if i do. regardless….a lino print will be developed soon.
i think im in a blue phase. it just seems to pop in a way that no other color can do for me right now.
this is a small studio with stairs you should be careful walking up.
seems like the remnants of a garage sale…
an ecclectic gathering of faces and personalities
again….this derives from my strange obsession with random objects placed in an organic situation. so, here we have an ironing board in the forest.
this was nearly climbing out of my chest tonight…
{this sort of looks like a strawberry…its definitly supposed to be a heart, as strawberries dont usually feel like theyre going to climb out of my chest!}
well some of you might actually be wondering why i havent posted in nearly a week, and i dont really have a good excuse. i could blame it on the fact that i am sick, or that i have 2 kids and a husband, or that i am back in school. but i wont.
this illustration pretty much sums up how i feel today: crazy hair, no body (because it hurts so bad from being sick), freckles, and an overall unappeal.
no worries though, i am progressively feeling better, tomorrow should be amazing!
