Handmade Gifties.

Here are some critters I am going to turn into broaches or hair clips. I found this really beautiful blog the other day and in one of the posts she is wearing this super cute hair clip. I can make this! I think? That one might be ceramic, but I'm pretty sure I can make them out of wood. Mmm, hand painted with a little collage thrown in for good measure. I think this is going to be fun!

Mom Part II.

In an early post I posted a drawing of my mama and like my dad I also made her a lovely mask. The idea is to describe the part of them that you don't see, or what is covered by the mask. For my fathers image the mask is more about his outside. What you see everyday is his mask and what is underneath it is what he is hiding. My mom on the other hand appears to the naked eye as your typical softy mom, but underneath that exterior is her mask. She only puts it on on certain occasions, but it's a warriors mask for sure.

Sketchbook fun

This is an accordion sketchbook, otherwise known as a Japanese Sketchbook, and it is being filled by a couple friends and I. It's a pretty fun thing to do and it's really exciting getting it back again. Not only because you get to see a mystery drawing, but also because getting stuff in the mail is so nice. I apologise for the crazy layout, but you work with what you have and I don't have a lot of computer programs and photo studio is only so good at stitching images together. Mariah Burton and Yargot are the two participating lovelies.
