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?

Happy Halloween!

I tried my hand at junking my pumpkin for Holli Congers contest. I thought that I would be able to turn out a pumpkin as cute as hers-WRONG! It was fun trying.

Illustration Friday - Trick or Treat


Trick or treat - smell my feet! This is a drawing from the archive, I cant remember if I've posted it for IF before, if I have sorry. I thought that it seemed like a pretty good fit for this weeks topic.
I will be working at my younger sons Harvest Festival this evening where I'm sure that there will be plenty of candy. How do parents know that their kids are growing up? When you can't make off with the chocolate as easily as the previous year.
Have a good week, thanks for looking.
