Trading Fun

I also drew for a few swaps - fairytales and nursery rhymes! One of my favorite themes!

Monsters as Feelings

Individual trades by request or offered.

                    

Bookmarks

Sunsets swap - another favorite theme!

Wild swap

 

Catching Up...

Here are some of the things I've been working on the last couple months...since I went back to work full-time it isn't much. But I try and do some kind of art every day (even if it ends up in the trash...)

Drew this as a gift for Christmas - the original can be found here.

This was also a Christmas gift - just redrew, resized the fairy bookmarks into one piece.

 Just for fun...

Christmas Cards this year...by me and my littles.

  

Made this for my classroom to learn about the number 9 - maybe I'll have to turn the story into a book!

There are a few unfinished projects that are waiting to become finished...but we'll see when that happens.

Feeling Creative...

Lately, I've just been drawing and painting...no real direction, but just for fun. It's really therapeutic for my soul...but it's killing my sleep (since the only time I can find to do art is after the boys are in bed...)! 

 Been feeling the drawing on the dictionary pages! 

Saw a similar idea on pinterest, but wanted to try it with my own style - I like it!

Made this card - thought it turned out really cool! 

My husband wanted an artsy cell phone cover like mine, but with zentangles. He likes wolves and lighthouses - he picked the wolf! (But only after making me redo it because the head pattern looked like little eyeballs...)

Simple, but fun!

Like the idea and the quote, but this turned out meh...

My students made these scrap paper birds, so I made these canvas pieces as a gift for our classroom art docent. They turned out so cute I think I'll make some for our house too :)  

A Year Ago...

Things in the art department settled down around here after February last year when my second son was born. But that didn't mean I stopped doing art - I just stopped doing ATCs and didn't really scan or share anything. So, here's a little catch up post.

I started the Document Life Project. I don't have any gesso, so had to skip week 2, but here's the start.
