Commissioned House Drawings

I just finished drawing this house for a friend. It was a birthday gift to her fiance. I believe it was a success.

This is a house I drew in 2008 for my cousin.

A Summer Paper Chain

Is it bad that I made a paper chain to count down the days of summer? I can't deny that the frenzy of fall calls my name...

Blueberry Season...Finally!

These are the blueberries in my backyard...
totally NOT edible (yet)!

Luckily Daddy bought some from the store.
It's funny, because I used to hate these summer fruits,
along with peaches,
but now they are two of my favorites!
The peaches aren't quite ready, but when they are, I'll give
them just as much attention.

As you can see we have nearly wiped them out in less than 24 hrs!

2 Drawings

Her are two sketch/doodles I've done recently.

Labor Day Weekend in Hilton Head

We had a minor set back on our first day at the coast.

Hazy. Cloudy. Light Rain. Very un-vacation-like.
We ventured out anyway.

One day my sister and I were walking to the beach...
Something caught her attention.

...And I think that is when the weekend developed a new atmosphere of brilliant color...
dusting off its sinking shades of gray.

Shannon spotted the most color-frazzled flower! There were so many layers to it. (I wish I knew the name of it!) The bees loved them... they were covered in pollen.

The sun miraculously came out...despite the gloomy forecast that was predicted.

I brought some hydrangeas in a vase...
in hopes that I would draw them:

The Final Push

I survived finals week...

thought I'd show what I completed in Fabric Design..

5 min. break








The Final Product...
Our final subject matter in fabric design was the
felt making process.
I absolutely hated it at first...
I thought there was a very simple and quick method.
It took hrs. upon hrs. to dye the wool, turn it into felt,
assemble it, and finally sew it together.

No doubt I will carry on my felting knowledge to hopefully make smaller pieces (to sell).

May Sandwich Picnic

In the midst of Roman architecture and beautiful plants we feasted on Beef Jerky, PB & Js, and stale spicy Cheez-Its
