Illustration Friday - Time


It's time for LOVE... and wine, and chocolate and strawberries!!
On second thought, I've always got time for those. I've been doing more of what I call 'scratch paintings' where I use up scraps, paint, glue various papers and scribble in pencil. They come out kind of random but when scanned they make quick backgrounds for my illustrations.

Preschool Valentines

My nearly 4 year old daughter and I worked on her cards this week for her party at school. She wrote the word "Love" and drew the flower. I made the heart and we printed out on white label paper. We both painted the hearts with acrylic paint and stuck them on some ripped music sheets that were mounted on printed cardstock. She signed her name on the back and now they are ready for giving.

We had lots of fun and she's super excited to hand them out.

Batik Bird Cards




I wanted to make a set of note cards for my daughter's teachers for holiday gifts. I was inspired by these nice ladies and the colorful bird imagery resulted. I gave two of each design for a total of six.
