Back to work on the newest SCBWI Nevada Illustrator’s project.
A bit of work yet to do, but I like the hyena. This piece will be a 22×30 full piece of watercolor paper. Big paper, big brushes, big detail and a huge challenge!!
I’m still in wintery, textile creating mode (sitting in the cold evenings curled up with thread, hook, instructions, little dogs and homemade lattes). I’ve crocheted some pretty kitschy things in my life and some pretty cool stuff too. I really like these creatures from the sea by Jessica Polka. Her work and patterns can be found at her Wunderkammer shop.
Since I’ve lived in the desert all my life, the ocean and its inhabitants always fascinate me. Check out the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef at the Smithsonian Institute for some serious crochet.
According to my WordPress stats, my most popular posts and searches are for Sharpie Art on Converse Allstar shoes.
These William Morris inspired kicks are the last ones for 2010 and I sincerely hope the feet they belong to are walking in color right into 2011!
