Panda

A local art store often puts wooden canvases on sale. During one of these sales I purchased some small ones to see how it would be to work on wood. Last Friday inspired by a meme I started almost 5 years ago now, I made this little piece. I used watercolors, colored pencils, and aContinue reading “Panda”

Back from FL

Wow it is strange to come back to snow and ice after seeing green for over a week! Also to switch back into big coats and multiple layers after being in shorts and t-shirts. When it was first suggested to me that we take this trip to FL in February it was December and IContinue reading “Back from FL”

Another Wintery Day

Last night and today I am working on a commission from etsy. A shinning beacon, a Canary. The biggest challenge is making the Canary stable. I think I figured out the best solution last night. Now to add the details.

For the first nightContinue reading “An animal and Daisies”

From Paper to Clay

This frog was born during craft time with my son. He thankfully loves drawing and playing with clay. Given that I don’t really want him to mess up my clay and it is a bit too tough for him, I found a recipe for play dough. On my second try we had the perfect batchContinue reading “From Paper to Clay”

Christmas Skunk

I have been doing a lot of work with sculpey lately, making ornaments. Wanting to change up from making loads of snowmen I decided to sculpt one of my sketches from the summer. These sketches were simplified animals drawn in chalk on our driveway for my son. Given that I love the less lovable animalsContinue reading “Christmas Skunk”
