Illustration Friday - Tale of Peter Cottontail


Peter Cottontail has always been a legend in our house. My kids could never figure out how one rabbit could deliver chocolate, hide eggs and bring flowers in one night without a sidekick.
I am planning on using this as an Easter card.
Have a great week and thanks for looking.
I lucked out and found a old book of Valentines, so I scanned a few to use as my header for February. Although they are not intricate drawings, they are in a class of their own, arent they!

Illustration Friday - Plain

I thought that this fit the weeks theme because it is rather plain, not a lot of detail. I have to admit that I've always been a sucker for the thick, black outline. I came up with the idea when looking at Jenns blog at
http://noodleandlou.blogspot.com/,
she has such interesting paintings and is even doing clay dolls now. On one post, she gave a little step by step demo on how her paintings form. I thought I would try it myself and this is what I came up with. Thanks for sharing Jenn!
Have a good week and thanks for looking.

Oh, I almost forgot, the quality of the snapshot wasnt very good, but I'm learning. Any hints Jen?
