Belly Dancer

This project was originally for a travel poster to India. Inspired by the beautiful colors and lights of Diwali, I decided to do belly dance. I may add the text later, but this is the image I have for it so far :)

media used: illustration board, bristol paper, graphite, tissue paper, twine, glass beads, mesh bath sponge, gold leaf paint, glass gel medium, watercolor and acrylic paints.

The Curious Misur Frog

I named this piece "The Curious Misur (Monsieur) Frog" partially in tribute to my late silly teddy bear hamster Buttons who's hair grew so long around his tail it looked like a french man's mustache. The idea for the image itself actually came from another one of my paintings I did about a mystical fairy reading a book. This image was the product of one of those incidents where you see an image within an image. I'm sure glad I found this guy! On this project I experimented with the technique done by Illustrator C.F. Payne and I really enjoyed making it! Hope you like as much as I do :)

This was my first version

Then I spiced it up a little bit later... ;)

Gingerbread Birdhouse

This was just a little gift I did for my grandmother as a late Christmas present. I had the pleasure of making her famous Christmas cookies with her this year. We ended up talking about how she doesn't bake gingerbread me anymore, so I thought of giving one to her. Since she loves birdhouses and cardinals I figured it was the perfect fit! I still need to clean it up a lil bit, but thought I'd share it with you now :) Enjoy!
