This has not been a productive summer craft-wise. I'm in Virginia Beach, and there wasn't room to bring all of the things I wanted to do. I only brought watercolors and markers. I haven't used either. I did, however, complete a series of illustrations for a book one of my professors is putting together. I'll only put up one picture because there are 14 total. And as the kids are saying these days--Ain't nobody got time for that!

I still have 3 weeks here (I think? Maybe 4). I hope to spend more time outside enjoying nature and letting that inspire me to make something. When I get back home, I will have almost no time to create. That's a recipe for disaster, but sometimes life hands you lemonade and you have to just drink it even though you prefer Dr. Pepper because you like the way the carbonation makes your throat feel and it's 23 flavors of amazing.

Here's a picture I made this summer :)

painting adventure

I haven't painted in a long time. I wanted to start with something small...so I did a little fairytale painting. I had a plan to make a lot once, but I only did Rapunzel. So now I have a Beauty and the Beast one! I don't really like the way it turned out--surprise, surprise!

sketch and start 

half way

finished product...i think

Get out and create something...even if you might think it's kind of sucky. 

i found a sewing table!

I found this gem. I'm trying to think of how to paint it. I'm thinking some cool design, but I don't know yet.

SEWING TABLE DREAMS COME TRUE!!!!
