Time for a change

One last look at my old blog design.

My first commission!

Hey guys!  Brilliant news...I was commissioned for my 1st professional piece this week.  I created a watercolor illustration of a little girl for her first birthday.  The name is hand lettered in a swirly, curly q font that I created then covered with crafting foil.   Amoya is such a beautiful little girl and it was a fun project.  Thank you D.S. for this opportunity, I feel truly blessed to have worked on it!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

    

Merry Christmas Y'all!

 I don't know if I had more time on my hands or more energy, but I made hand painted watercolor Christmas cards last year.  This year, I decided to do it the easy way I pulled out my patterned paper and card making supplies.  Either way I like the results. 

Inktober #3 the Gibson Girl Challenge

Can I say how much I love Inktober!  It's been a lot of fun & since it's almost over I thought I'd try something harder and what could be harder than replicating a master artist. So, this is my study of one of the most famous modern women.
