Kitty #2

Here is kitty number 2 in what I've decided will be a series of sketches of cats. It's not the greatest sketch but by drawing more cats I endeavor to get better! This cat lives in my friends barn where she keeps her horses. I'll probably use a lot of her pictures since she has a million cats, thanks Tegan!

Pretty as a picture

I re-did the blog! If you're viewing this post via a blog reader then click here to see the blog in person :) I might still change the background....not quite sure whether I like it or not. Also I couldn't figure out how to get the header section of the blog to not be white in the background, darn html!

EDIT - ugh decided I didn't like the background, it's too busy but I'll leave the screen grab up for now, maybe I'll think of something else later :P

You should put a ring on it

Remember those little fabric covered buttons? I turned some of them into sweet little rings! Aah I love the look of these, like tiny pincushions. And I think they look awfully cute stacked in twos or threes :)

These are a few of my favourite things

Well a few of my NEW favourite things! Yesterday I went shopping and found the most delightful things!

I popped into Bed Bath 'n Table and they had an Easter spread with lots and lots of really cute decorations. I saw this wooden rabbit and the little ceramic ones and I just had to have them! I'm thinking of using them for future market props. And then the bottle to the side has sweet little birds on them! There were also two larger sizes but I quite liked the small size (it's about 15cm tall). I'll probably also use it as a prop or stuff it with ribbons.


Then I went to Kikki.k to get this bag I had seen on their website. It's made from a really firm canvas so it will last a long time. I think it will be a great 'going to the post office' bag, right?


And then I saw these rolls of tape, with bicycles on them!! It would have been a crime to leave them there :)

Pin pin pin a cushion

Another batch of craftiness with the oh-so-wonderful Lauren! This time we made a bunch of wrist pin cushions following My Little Mochi's tutorial (although we made a few adjustments!). I especially liked how the one with owl's went (I used Lauren's special Christopher Owl material she made at Spoonflower).

See how Lauren went with her pin cushions :)

Here kitty kitty

When I saw this cat I just felt like I had to do a little sketch. And you know, it felt good to do a sketch! I haven't been drawing because I didn't really have any great original ideas in my head so I think this is what I need - just some mindless sketching. I'm thinking maybe I'll do a big series of cat illustrations. It would be cool to get people to email me a photo of their cat I could draw instead of picking random photos from the internet. Would anyone be interested? Otherwise I'll just use my cats :)

Insomnia

I was hit with insomnia last night and thought I would doodle a bit to wait for the sandman to come. Makes me want to draw Spock more hehe he's fun to draw.
