This has been in my art journal for sometime...she is completely hand drawn using my pigma micron pens on an old journal layered with pages from an old book, some watercolor and gesso. Scanned her and added the background flowers and word art in digitally.
Fun, playful, bright! Commissioned work for Ellen to Pinky ;) I just love those girls, they're just so much fun to be with! Dear Pinky, can't wait for you to come back and "Bloom where you're planted" :)
and work for it! Be very, very prepared to work for it. I truly believe its about "putting it out there" and "BELIEVING" - having that Faith that you will truly get there....and then TAKING the steps to move towards that direction.
....have you ever thought about it?
I've just gotta say that I'm so proud of my dear friend Rachelle of Designs by Doodelle. This news has been sitting with us for some time but we could not let out even a hint until November 1st. She is one of the guest designers this November at Scrapbookgraphics! I'm just positively happy and giddy with her :) I've always hankered to be a Studio Girl but never really pursued designing kits - although I totally love drawing/doodling, I'd love though to collaborate with Rach one day (you hear that Rach? LOL!)
I'd like to introduce:
I just want to share this mixed media piece that I was commissioned to do, it was gifted to my cousin by her husband for their 1st year wedding anniversary :) I wish I were that loved! Hehe...
The piece is created on 24" x 36" (2 x 3 feet) gallery wrapped archival canvas.
Here is a piece I've been working on...I still haven't quite decided how I want to do her face and the design of the dress and so it remains unfinished. I was reminded of this piece today while talking to my co-supplier and her sister who are new clients and hopefully, new friends :) at the Wedding Connections store.
This piece is being done with vibrant colors, in the Mexican folk-art style. And lots of flower doodles.
Hi, I know, I know....the file just uploaded to 4shared (I really need to rethink my internet connection...it's driving me nuts!). But without further ado, I'd like to introduce this wonderful kit called: "Kissing Birds" by Designs by Doodelle.
Hi! This one will be real quick, its been a long day and an even longer night (slept at 4:30 A.M., only to wake at 5:30 to get the kids up and headed out the door for school by 6:00 AM...then back to sleep for another hour and a half before I needed to get up again to prepare to leave to attend to my space at the Wedding Connections booth inside "Kasalan 2010, Ikalimang Yugto" at SM Megamall. Hailing a cab was crazy (an hour wait), then traffic was even crazier (3-day sale at SM Megamall equates to total madness!!) Would you believe there was a long line snaking out by the side of the Forever 21 store, complete with bouncers and that yellow tape they use to cordon off the scene of a crime. Crazy, I tell you. Even crazier were the people lining up to get in, prices must have been dropped so low.
The good though was that, I bumped into a high school classmate while searching for something to eat for lunch and ended having coffee with her. Lots of fun eating "merienda" buffet for lunch at 3PM, thanks Pam! And despite the low turn out of event goers this day (I guess they'd rather shop the sales downstairs), I got 2 soon-to-be weds very, very, very interested and excited over my album art (Yay for 2011!)
Anyway, I'm so sorry this post is up late, if you came over awhile ago from Rachelle's (Designs by Doodelle) or Pom's blog hoping to find the link to the Kissing Birds QP freebie, I'd like to let you know it will soon be up by tomorrow. I tried to upload it to my sharing site awhile ago but the internet is not cooperating again :(
I'd best get some sleep first and continue everything I need to do tomorrow.
Hugs to you all!
Just some stuff I'm working on...all works in progress...
Some serious doodling here, and enjoyed every minute of it. Just the break I needed to fulfill my thirst for some "me-time" doodling which I have not done for what seems like ages. Being that most of the stuff I do is work/client related - it's just not the same.
Inspired by Tracy Clark's "I Am Enough", a self-kindness collaborative. I started this a month ago, just painting the bird and the words, "You are Enough" and finally finishing it the other day on some much needed self-imposed "me-time".
Drawn on 9" x 11" Acid Free Canson Watercolor pad using watercolors, pigma micron pens, color markers and color pencils.
I love camping! Yes I do. It's no wonder that I eventually ended up joining outdoor clubs and mountaineering activities a long time ago (before my children were born). And I still love it....the call of the wild still sings a song in my heart (hmm....that's a journal page waiting to be written and drawn!) But again, camping is another activity I wish I could have time for. What is it with my struggle with time?
I always have fun images when I think of camp, going off on adventures, exploring (real or imagined places). I think that's what Rachelle (Designs by Doodelle) had in mind while creating her latest kit, CAMP GIGGLE. Such a wonderful complement to our adventure, travel and yes, camp photos.
