Bonus Set

Well, my friends I found these sketches in one of my journals and thought I would share.  These are just quick little sweet faces I had made to use in my journals a while back.  They worked out great for me, and I am sure they will for you too.  Over the years of practicing faces I have made quite a few.  

These three are very easy to use and place in your artwork. You just have the faces on these and you can add so much around them and make them into what every you like. Draw their little bodies or collage their bodies to the page. 

 If you watched my video tutorial I made last year where I made Fairies, I used some of my sketches for the faces on the three fairies.  I always like to have some little faces handy when I start thinking of a project. They are fun to carry along with you when you are traveling too.

If you would like to purchase these 3 lovelies please go on over to my Etsy Shop and take a look.  

I hope you enjoy! Thank you! xo

This little mermaid was done with water colors and gel pens on water color paper.  She is so sweet with her little fish friends swimming all around her.  I get some of my inspiration living by the ocean, and I never get tired of drawing a lovely mermaid.  All sweetness and fairytales, that's what I think of when I create one. I hope this picture is an inspiration for some of you. 

Thank you for visiting me... Keep creating and sharing the love...

Thank you! xo

This piece was done on chipboard with papers, inks, beads, wire, chain, some molded clay hearts, french ephemera, beeswax, and anything I got my hands on.   I really do enjoy making ornaments that are not always done in the traditional style...like a Santa or a snowman, etc.  Its fun sometimes to just make something pretty for your holiday decorating that's a little different.  Happy Holidays! The Mirror Crack'd Blog

Two Drawings and a Journal Cover Redo

Hello There Wonderful People!

Here is my New Video on Youtube.  This includes two pictures, and a Redo of a journal's cover that I just could not even bare to look at, never mind draw something in.  I know we all have created work at one time or another that we really dislike, and this was what happened with this journal cover.  I absolutely love the journal itself, but I just made the cover so busy that it was not inviting at all.  When I work in a journal I would rather have nothing on the covers until I'm done, or have a cover that says, "Come on in and have some fun".  This journal didn't say that, more like, "Stay away, you're not invited in".  lol

Well, I just couldn't let this wonderful journal go to waste, so I finally decided to do something about it and make a video to share my struggle.   When you go to view the video of the Redo (link below),  there will be a link to the original video (Making Journals) that I made while first creating the journal.  The Making Journals Video was done with a child's camera, and not a very good quality, but it gets the point across.  It actually shows 3 journals that I made, so if you're interested in viewing it there is a link below this video in the description section on youtube.

Please leave me a comment, I would love to know how this was for you, and if any of you have had the same feeling about something you created.  I love sharing things, and when we do share, I think we help others and ourselves so very much... that's the greatest thing about creating and sharing our artwork. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I truly hope you enjoy this video.

Keep on creating, and sharing with others, we all need to feel the love. xo
