I spend a lot of my evenings sketching and practicing my faces in my sketchbook so I decided to give it a spiffy cover yesterday. I LOVE pink so naturally it was my color of choice for this project. I used sticker tapes for the lace at the bottom and pink and white polka dots on the left side. – Napkins for pink daisies. – Ribbon, eyelets, collage papers, heart punch, rhinestone, and a stencil for the pink polka dots. I also used a bit of iridescent medium and some rubberstamping ink to add pink tint to the otherwise white lace tape. Lastly, I inked the edge of the journal as well to add a bit more color.
And here’s the lastest entry into this sketchbook – I got the idea for this drawing from an anime series my DH and I have been watching in the evenings called Air TV. If you like anime, I recommend the series, the last few seem to be repetetive of the priors but the story itself is quite creative. I enjoy getting ideas for art from such stories. The world around us is so creative that it’s hard not to get a plethera of ideas!
I used metallic gel pens for the “feathers” and a black sharpie for the black on the costume. I didn’t use a blending tool for this one as in person the “lines” look pretty cool with the complimenting line from the ink on the feathers. When I get a light tent I’ll have more fun with photos and print making. =) ~The wish list continues to grow!~ What’s on your wishlist this season?
On my way back from the mailbox yesterday I picked up some leaves that were laying on the rain soaked ground. I wiped them down and used several different colors of rubberstamping ink to stampe them onto this cardstock. I used a brayer to apply pressure to them. I’ll spray this with a workable fixative and see what I can add to it as the days go by.
Today I am finishing my Frida “Inspiration” card for Project Suzi – I’ll post her later -she’s really looking awesome and she’s ALMOST done! =) YAY! Lots of pink and purple and gold, very delicious with color, color, color!
What project’s are on your desk?
Here’s a few drawings from my “relaxation” sketchbook. I like to draw when we’re watching TV. I just grab a pencil and whatever pops into my head is what ends up on paper. Sometimes it’s reflexed by what we’re watching and sometimes it just comes from the pencil. These are both from the pencil.
Here’s the “Queen of Cake.”
I call this one “S’Crow.”
