Illustration Friday - focused

happiness, and for me, focus....is in the little things. like micro pens. the detail you can create in a sketch is intense, and captures my idea that much more accurately. like this piece- the original is about 3"w x 5"h or so. micro pen on watercolor.

hand drawn note cards

there is something that makes me very happy when I get an actual handwritten note - and nothing more gratifying when I get the chance to write out a few of my own to send to friends. These are simple little paneled note cards with little hand drawn sprouts along the bottom edge, with matching envelopes that I've sprouted along the flap edge.

take out a black pen or marker and make your own note cards from blank paper and envelopes - they make a perfect last minute gift.

Illustration Friday - wilderness

the wilderness in my imagination comes up with stuff like this.... underwater wildness!
