A WATERED GARDEN SKETCH

Hi everyone! I am so happy that I have finally had some time this weekend to create again! Petsitting has been so very busy, which is a good thing, but not for my creativity:)

I have been trying to make my Sundays truly The Lord's Day lately, to rest, read my bible and go to church.

One thing I have been doing is to choose a scripture verse from my bible and illustrate it. I have a couple of faith journals and a sketchbook that I keep all my favorite verses. There are so many beautiful ones but yesterday I chose this one from Isaiah 58:11, "He will renew your strength and you shall be like a watered garden." Don't you love this one? I know when I am true to my faith and keep close to God and to prayer I truly feel like a watered garden, so true isnt it?

Hope you like this one!

Hugs,

Michelle

WOOFIE'S WINTER WONDERLAND

"WOOFIE'S WINTER WONDERLAND"

I've been coloring up a storm over the last couple of weeks and it feels so good to be pushing myself creatively again. I've just finished another image to use for the illuminated art lights. This image is a rubber and digital stamp, "Woofie in the Snow" and is now called, "Woofie's Winter Wonderland."

I truly got lost in all the magic of Photoshop with this one:) So much fun!

I'm working on Peppermint the Polar bear next with a really fun border of candy canes, stars and peppermint sticks:)

NEW LICENSING VENTURE

I've just signed a new licensing contract for my art to be sold on Illuminated lighting for a company locally here in Southern California. They will be using my colored images to create unique framed illuminated art.

The artwork is printed on a acrylic and then places in a frame and is illuminated with led lights behind the image and the color just pops!

I wanted to share one of the images they will be using. Does this one look familiar? It was originally "The Haunted Tree"  digital stamp, now in color it is called, "The Dream Tree" and we thought it would be awesome colored with an inspirational verse and I think it will look great as an illuminate work of art.

It feels SO good to be coloring my images again, I really have missed doing that over the last couple of years. I will be coloring Woofie in the Snow next:)

Hi everyone!

Cant believe I havent posted in so long, ouch! I hope you all survived the Christmas crazies and are enjoying a wonderful new year so far.

Did any of you go to CHA last weekend? I went on Sunday and walked the show with the ladies from Sparkle N Sprinkle (the company that is licensing my art for rubber stamps) and had a blast! I got to watch "Demo Donna" from SNS shoot a Demo for the upcoming Craft Time TV and OMGosh, my head was spinning with all the beautiful stamps and colored papers and glitter there among other things!

SNS will have a booth at the Scrapbooking Expo in a few weeks and I cant wait to go back and check it out along with all the rows/booths full of eye candy. I know it will be alot of fun.

FUN WITH ACEO'S

I scanned my little ACEO that I made yesterday so its much clearer and thought I would also share my original sketch as well. I loved creating this one alot and just had a blast playing with my art set that I got last Christmas full of markers, chalk, watercolors and colored pencils, not to mention my favorite, Stickles Diamond glitter glue!

ARTIST PLAY DAY WITH COLOR AND GLITTER

Happy Sunday, everyone! Today was a "jammie" day for me and I loved every minute of it! I took the day off to "play" since this is probably the last day to do so until after January 2nd. The petsitting, Christmas parties and shopping crazies are going to be in full swing starting next weekend so I thought I'd better take advantage of some "me" time today:)

I drew lots of Parables, Christmas images and  partridges in pear trees in my sketchbook and took out my colored pencils, watercolor, markers and my Diamond Stickles glitter glue and had a blast! 

I drew this little Peppermint girl and inked it and then colored and added glitter to it. Oh my gosh it was the most fun I have had in so long, I so miss working in color and it made my creative heart so happy!

I took this picture with my camera so I apologize for the fuzzy image. I think this would be a fun image for an ACEO and also a digital stamp, too:)

WIZARD OF OZ SKETCH

Dont you just love the Wizard of Oz? It is one of my all time fav movies and has a sentimental place in my heart. My Dad and I and our family always used to watch it growing up and everytime I hear any version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I still always think about my Dad:)

In the last week I have been seeing it everywhere! I watched it on TV last weekend, I was at a wine bar with a friend this week and it was playing on the screen on the wall next to us and I took my Wizard of Oz book, that has the whole script of the movie, off the shelf this weekend and got inspired to draw this little sketch. I thought a border with some pretty Poppies would be fun and I gave the scarecrow his diploma, the tin woodsman his heart and the poor cowardly lion a fearful look on his face:) I love that scene where he scares himself by pulling his own tail:) I think this would make a fun holiday image!

SAINT MICHAEL SKETCH

Happy Thursday, everyone, I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful week. I finally bought myself a new sketchbook since the one I had was totally filled up, I love that feeling! I love my new one and have been filling it up with lots of Saints and Angels so far.

I have been going to a bible study at St Michael's Abbey once a month here in Southern California and the teacher is Father Gregory who is such an awesome person so I was thinking he might like a picture of St. Michael. I was inspired by the icon paintings of the saints that are so graphic and stylized and all have such beautiful faces. I'm not sure if I will make this into an ink drawing or color it or just keep working on the graphite drawing and give him this one with more details and frame it? I think I'll let St. Michael lead me:)
