10 Comments   art, drawing

Its just a for fun thing but I find the idea of the nerd glasses that have become such a trend now being worn by people from way long ago particularly funny. Yes, I have a weird sense of humor. I thought doing these little art projects would be fun and more freeing to play with color without the...

Above you can see Annette and Leah (who were fabulous at keeping me sane at the show!) putting together one of...

After CHA we'll put up a virtual version of the catalog on the website too so everyone can see it :) I don't know if we'll have any of these print ones left (as I didn't get enough to hand out to every person who walks by...

Its just a fun and simple shaped card I made using papers from AC, SC, & EP. Then Mr Turtle was stamped with Memento's Espresso Truffle and colored with Copics. I like that color of stamp ink, its not a harsh black but its...
