Costume Craze I had a few drawings ready for this prompt and tossed them aside. Instead I went with our pets and put costumes on them. I have done ghostie cat sketches before with Cleo, our previous cat. I decided to make Teddy, a Dracula, Dickens, a ghost and Lucy, a witch. And Dickens ISContinue reading “Day 28 – Halloween Challenge”

The art of stickers
Last week, I wrote to you that I was finishing my “dailies” sketchbook from the past two years. This week, I started a new one and I am really excited that the Leuchtturm1917 square sketchbooks now come in lavender. What’s so exciting about that? I do a small daily sketch and it takes over twoContinue reading “The art of stickers”
sketch pattern to stuffed doll
Here is the stuffed version of my Coco Moloko using what I had around my studio. I thought about going to buy glittery fabric for the frosting, or even just getting another color for the frosting and a different pink for the feet, but in the end I just used what I had in theContinue reading “sketch pattern to stuffed doll”
Skates
Ellie dreams of being an Olympic figure skater. She practices every day and loves skating in the snow. The creek near her house freezes over in the winter and it is her favorite place to skate. She and her friends create a rink and a track on the frozen creek and they do pretend OlympicContinue reading “Skates”
Little Witch (on the side)
I did work a little on my little witch series while doing the “TheyDrawtober Challenge.” The food challenge took up more time than expected, and I wound up doing that challenge on Procreate and as you can see from last month’s posts. In the meantime, monsters, witches and other beasties were sidelined. I have beenContinue reading “Little Witch (on the side)”
Kitty-ween
I like to make felt creatures and dabble a bit with textiles. Creating patterns and seeing how they turn out is fun. I also see what needs tweaking for the next one, but just seeing the outcome and whether or not the pattern was successful is pretty amazing. This is a nice relaxing exercise thatContinue reading “Kitty-ween”
People in the Neighborhood #3
Ignatius was an arrogant cat that thought himself far superior to dogs. This series of postcards were inspired by a Lesson in Carla Sonheim’s 2021 Year Long Class.
People in the Neighborhood #1
This series of postcards were inspired by a Lesson in Carla Sonheim’s 2021 Year Long Class. There are 4 total which I will be posting over the next couple of days. Kurt, Carrie and Sally decided that they wanted to go on an Adventure. Carrie’s dog, Melville and Kurt’s kitty, Boomer, joined them.
Wild Calico
Oh HEY! Where did this guy come from? The idea for this guy came from Carla Sonheim’s 2021 Sketchbook Revival lesson. The first part of the lesson is to draw a bunch of one liner subjects…cat, elephant, vase of flowers, toilets…..then we each picked one of our own to turn into a more finished piece….Continue reading “Wild Calico”
Love gives you wings
These creatures came from sketches done in my morning pages. They started out as a random shape, that I move around until I find something I can work with in that shape, and then pull a creature out of it. Wally the owl is obsessed with hearts and loves Valentine’s Day. He loves hearts decoratedContinue reading “Love gives you wings”
