Zentangle Garden

This drawing is in keeping with my recent Garden series, but also gives my flavoring to the Zentangle style.

Forbidden Garden

If only ATCs were little miniature doorways.....

Beach House

This is a paper collage ATC.
I got the idea from some similiar wooden houses in a Cloth Paper Scissors article. I'll probably do a few more because it was a fun little project.

Repurposed paper

This ATC started with a piece of watercolor paper that my son painted a background on. I have several pieces in mottled colors that I'm cutting up and reusing for my own art.

Mysterious

Apparently I'm doing a garden series.

Light and Dark

My latest ATCs - different, yet the same.

Yellow Bird

Another primitive bird. This was done in pencil and watercolor on vellum, layered over the blue background.

Primitive Crow

I've been seeing a lot of cute primitive art lately. I particularly like the fabric ornies that people are creating. Then I saw some crows - well crows are a great symbol of power and I have always been attracted to them. So here is my second somewhat primitive crow.

Open Door

Another bird for Illustration Friday. The theme this week is 'open.' I feel like I'm taking a psychological free association test: OPEN --> DOOR After that I can't think of anything else and have go with my first thought. Thanks for looking!

Giraffe ATC

This gorgeous ATC was made by Linda, one of my online artist friends. She drew it with watercolor pencils and I love the life-like quality!

Monarch Butterfly

When my Autumn Joy sedum blooms, the Monarch butterflies come to feed. It's a beautiful sight when they're swooping around, landing and fluttering off again!

Mystic Juggler

Juggler is the Illustration Friday topic this week. There are a lot of cute entries posted so far!

Fabric ATC

Decided to stitch up another bird ATC today. The background fabric is shimmery and I think it will be pretty in several projects.

I've decided to try some realistic sketches. I dusted off my copy of 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' and re-read parts of it. Then I looked for a face on the web to use. I'm fairly pleased as it's my first attempt, but I'll be practicing.
