    Asian Theme book

    January 13, 2008 - By 



    I completed my pages for the latest book I received in my current round robin.

    The original drawings from the book were hand-painted by me with watercolor crayons. The chopsticks were shorten by breaking then shaping them in a pencil sharpener before a slight bit of whittling and sanding.

    The bamboo was drawn then painted by yours truly. The fortune reads “The luck that is ordained for you will be coveted by others”

    I’ve never done any Asian themed art before…at least not consciously. I did do a mixed-media painting a while back that ended up having an Asian flare.

    Second letter completed

    Hoorah! I was able to get “T” completed today. The tag reads “Take time… before time takes you.” This was a quote by yours truly a couple years back. I had envisioned putting a tombstone on the page as well but didn’t find one I wanted to use.

    Alphabet book

    December 29, 2007 - By 


    I’m working in the second book of a 10 person round robin. This book has an ABC theme. We are each to pick 2-3 letters. I’ve decided on “M” and “T” but have only completed this one so far. I have my idea and materials picked for the second…just need time to put it together.

    Time has been scarce as of late…it seems that we’ve got something going every day during this winter break. I try and sneak in some art time before bed but some nights I’m just too darn tired!
