Africa


This is a postcard I made for the Sunday Postcard Art theme Africa. There is nothing like waking up in the morning and doing an art challenge. This one was a little more difficult. There is lots of contrast to this card. So hopefully all the detail came out in the scan.

Dreaming is Free Bookmark


The theme at Art Adventure this week in to make a book mark. Here is one I made recently. I made this for my 8 year old daughter. The stamps are Clearly Vintage and the markers are Copic. What I love about reading is how you create your own reality. Two people can read a book and see it totally differently. Books are fuel for the imagination.
