Animal Wednesday: Journal Journey


I've been a bit quiet on the blogs lately because I'm trying to instill some self-discipline towards working. Today I painted this journal for Etsy.
I scooped up a couple of these at Michael's Craft Store knowing right away what I would add. I think any one of you could have guessed!


Yes indeed, my raven friend! I painted him with an acrylic paint base and then detailed him with colored pencils.


And then I added this to the back. So true, don't you think?


So here's my Animal Wednesday post for this week, a journaling journey!

  6. Absolutely lovely journal. Your art is so well done. You have to be THAT good to paint on a book you wish to sell. No room for error. And of course this is none.
    I admire what you do!
