I’ve always been a beige girl. Or tan, sand, or oatmeal. Whatever you call it, I’ve always loved these neutrals. My little boy notecard is featured here, in the third row down, second from left.

Thanks to Sundown Bead Designs for including my design!

I just love this black and white treasury – it’s so dynamic and bold!

And I just love the artwork of the curator of this treasury, Maja Lindberg.

What a great idea: an Etsy Treasury organized by Pantone colors!!! Ok, maybe only a geeky graphic designer like me would like this.

Love it!

I seem to be stuck on the winter theme, but oh well. Love this treasury anyway!

I should probably save this treasury for January or February, when winter’s frigid claws strangle my creativity but I just compiled it yesterday and I really love it.

Rawleigh the Robot is happy to be included in this Delaware treasury! But now he doesn’t have time to fool around on Etsy because he has to go play croquet.

Here’s a bigger pic of Rawleigh:

Here’s a wonderful treasury created by the Delaware Street Team. Go Delaware Etsians!

Remember to shop local and shop hand made!


Well, I finally figured out how to use paint pens. They really don’t work too well on canvas over acrylic paint, as I had tried earlier this month, but I was able to use them successfully in this piece. I really have to thank my son for this discovery, as we were sketching together and he just grabbed a handful of paint pens and started scribbling them all over his sketch pad. He made a cute little alien with the green pen and that inspired me to make my own alien. The paint pens worked wonderfully well on plain old sketch paper but they do tend to seep through to the other side so stick a piece of scrap paper behind the page you are working on to block the seepage. Work big and forget about adding lots of detail with the paint pens – they really are not suited for this.

Today I made a cute hairy monster guy for Art Every Day Month. I used my new manga pens and I just love them.
