Polar Bear and Elephant Sketches

Oops!  Some black ink spilled on the polar bear's face.

Here are some recent journal pages.  I am soooo sick of the weather lately.  The snow seemed to last forever and now it has been rainy every day!  This journal page I made two weeks ago when it was still snowy out.  ick!

Manon is having a new blog feature called Paper Saturdays.  If you have not seen her cute drawings you definitely should check out her blog!

Painted Journal Pages in Progress

I don't have anything finished to show you this week, but I have a few in progress paintings and journal collages to show you.  I will probably add additional words and imagery later.

Here I combined painted papers, scans of buttons and ribbons, and scrapbooking papers.

This page contains a picture from a magazine (the two paper dolls), rub-on transfers, a sticker from printstagram and scans of colored wires and fabrics.

A painted journal page, with paint and marker only.  I will be going back into this picture to add more and refine some areas.

A collage of scans, watercolor paintings, ink doodles.  This page is the perfect start for journaling and adding photos.

 A collaborative page with my 3 year old daughter!

On this page, I was sketching in my journal and while I was sketching, my daughter said she wanted to color it.  Pink is her favorite color so everything has to be pink.

Happy Weekend!

Peace to you!

Inspiration Avenue had a Christmas ball challenge this week. Here's a little sketch I made for the occasion. Maybe I will copy them for some Christmas notes.

Bug Sketch

Found these bug sketches in my stuff that I did for a demo with kids.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I was having problems with following blogs on google reader. I was deleting blogs and then they'd keep mysteriously reappearing. We'll see if blog lovin' works better.

Everyday Object

Drawing everyday objects for the Sketchbook Challenge....  this is what I see around my house.

I used tombow markers and water for this.

Dog Sketches

Some of these you may have seen before, but I added some color to these.  They are sketches of my dog Linus, in various positions.  This curled up position is my favorite.. he gets into a little ball and sometimes you can't even see his head.
