Raven tag 2 and Sketchbook Project Progress


I've been a very busy girl today trying to buckle down and get the sketchbook done before Saturday's deadline. In between sketches I finished up Raven Maven #2.
Here's the front of her with a raven sticker and the #2 on her dress in the middle of the stamped heart. Her blue wings and shoelaces have glitter which doesn't show well.
The blue spiral sticker has glittler too. Once again her head was drawn and painted with acrylic paint and colored pencils.
Her head is tilted upwards because she's such a dreamer! She's going to trip over her laces if she's not careful.


Here's the back view with the #2 to signify she's the second one in a series, and my signature is below.



Here she is hanging out at the studio. I wish the glitter showed better.
She insisted on wearing Chucks too ;)


Yesterday I did this sideways peek-a-boo page of a kitty daydreaming about a yummy mouse.
Click to embiggen any or all pics!


And I painted this sweet old guy. I've been scumbling paint on various pages and then going back later to do something on them. It's easier for me seeing as Moleskine pages are so thin and transparent. That's rather limiting, in my opinion.
The dog was done with colored pencils on top of blue acrylic paint.


I had fun doing this very chubby version of Emma giving basic Chihuahua Cha-Cha lessons!
I "Googled" the steps so I could make a chart.
1-2-cha cha cha, 3-4 chiiii-waaaa-waa!


WORK IT GIRL!!!!!!


And finally, for today anyway, a pink tuxedo kitty. I actually love this page.
There's something about the pink and orange, a combo I've always been drawn to.
I was going to make the cat black and white but then decided to leave it alone.

So, this is why no one is getting visits or phone calls from me.
BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!!

Raven Musings tag art


I've had a vision of wacky raven tags in my head for a while now. It was time to let it fly!
I started out by painting a raven head on sturdy scrapbooking paper, a favorite medium of mine. Then I made a tag shaped body, added a stamped heart from another patterned paper, applied the monarch butterfly sticker on heavy paper, a few jewels, a black Swarovski crystal for her eye, a phrase on a clear sticker that says "Believe in Yourself" and the finishing touch that cracked me up...the Chuck Taylor sneakers!

I'm actually pretty sick of butterfly wings and party hats, but they really do work when called for. I tried doing heart wings and raven wings. Nope, didn't look right.


I also kept the back in mind when creating this even though this side won't show.
At least the colors are pretty together. I'll add my signature to the back too, and then onto Etsy she goes!


Here she is on the studio door, hanging out until she moves to her new family.
Okay, I've had my little bit of fun for the day.
Now on to the sketchbook project!! Pressure, pressure, pressure as the deadline nears!

~Happy Sunday~
