Everyone needs a Key holder

This is the vision I had in mind for my colourful drawings as I was creating them.  I like things to have a purpose as well as being pretty and cheery so that's what the challenge was, to incorporate my pencil drawings into these key holders.  I loved this challenge and the ideas came very easily once I set myself on the right track, that's what being an artist is all about and you discover so much about you.

I found it difficult to shoot these, I couldn't seem to find the right angle or lighting to display it's true function and brightness (I always see things differently in my mind) but I think you will get the idea.

It was also challenge to find a printer who could get the colour just the way I wanted it with the right paper but that's the fun part, trying new projects and learning so much more than just a new drawing technique.  It's the journey, right, not the destination.

Now I have to figure out how I will ship them from my Etsy shoppe.

We All Need Growth

This is drawing number four if you don't count the colourful page of polka dots I did for bookmarks, now that was fun.  The tricky part is trying to print them, I find it very difficult to match the intensity and richness of the pure coloured pencil, this is my undoing as it frustrates me to no end, I may have to  engage the assistance of an outside source.

I have been trying to create an original drawing a week, it's not as easy at it sounds but I think if you make it fun...well that's half the battle...art should be fun, for the viewer as well as the creator.  This one is for all the gardeners out there...myself included.
