Paintings for Lizzy

I have had the pleasure of working on a series of paintings for a couple who is having their first child (a baby girl); the mother happens to be one of the most patient people on Earth, and has provided the most loving daycare for my Bella Boo for a few months. This job gave me a chance to further develop some sketches of animals derived from my elephant drawings from months ago and an excuse to hang out in my cave (basement studio area) for many hours. So here they are, finally done!

I hope you like them! I am pretty proud of the way they turned out and hope that Lizzy will enjoy them too :)
Thanks for reading!

Birdies- sewing adventure # 3

I've started to look at patterns while in stores and realized that if I ever depend on them to sew it will just NOT happen. I don't know what it is but patterns confuse me more than quantum physics, so I am not going there as of now. I've decided to sew these little birdies, which I hope will be an effort eventually multiplied to 30 (? arbitrary number...) so I can redecorate our Christmas tree. These were my first attempts:

These guys sure made my day. A super easy, rewarding sewing adventure!
