Expressions

I started on some new artwork this week. I've kind of taken a break from the fabric bowls. Although I do have a new idea that I'm very excited about. Maybe next week. In the meantime, how's about some in progress shots?

Through my entrecard wanderings, I found a blog that has a challenge going where you take a page from a book and using only a black sharpie, create artwork isolating text from the page...drawing...etc. I don't remember the blog but as soon as I find it, I'll link back to it. Anywho, I gave that a try and came up with a lovely little page that I really like!



I like it so much that I'm working on turning it into some wood artwork:



Then I also started a much smaller wood piece that's meant to sit on your desk, mantle..etc...rather than hanging on the wall.

I'm working on prepping the "canvas" right now. Using colored wood pieces to finish the edges. I haven't decided yet whether I will leave them the original colors, or paint them brown.



Then we have the makings of flowers to go on the above "canvas"!



I also got ambitious and decided to try to clean my work space. Buuuut, I came across a sketch book that has yet to be touched and decided to sit down and doodle a bit. This little guy came out of that (and yes, the work space is still a mess):
