Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook

Ok, so I am a wee bit late posting these. This hand bound, hand painted, 20 page sketchbook was a little labor intensive and most of the postcards my mom received from this sketchbook were critters without page embellishments. I just finished all of the embellishments today. Some of these may get bumped out byContinue reading “Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook”

Thank God that year is OVER!

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to 2021. I am not going to rehash 2020. It had some good points where we got to spend time with our daughter and Cleo. But it had bad points, too.

The original version had glittery gold paint for the halo and a few other tricks that I canContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 18”

Christmas Art Countdown Day 11 – Happy Hanukkah

I am switching sketches because the one I actually did for today is being used for another purpose. Day 24’s prompt was “Joy.” I swtiched out Joy for today, plus the colors suit Hankkah better. Happy Hanakkah to all of those celebrating today! Peace and Joy be with you all!

AEDM Day 13- First Thanksgiving 2.0

I upgraded my First Thanksgiving design to add “menus” and then submitted it for posting to They Draw and Cook. I haven’t posted there in a long time and I originally intended to do a map but it segued into a Feast. I am still wanting to do the map. Researching foods for the firstContinue reading “AEDM Day 13- First Thanksgiving 2.0”
