Today a friend from work asked me to draw on the inside of her cup. It is double walled and the inside comes out...here is what I came up with: (Nadia does beautiful henna so I thought I would do a henna inspired peacock)

Today I was working on the piece from yesterday, and don't really feel like putting virtually the same pictures up again sooo... I was walking into the kitchen and noticed something out of the corner of my eye.
On the top of a bookshelf lives a vase and an easel with a little picture my mom drew. (either in, or right after high school) It wasn't there. I'm not sure how, but it had fallen off it's little easel and ended up behind the bookshelf on the floor.
I dusted it off and began to put it back in place, but because it was in my hands I was able to see parts of it I hadn't remembered. A couple of finger prints, two holes from tacks and especially the way it is lovingly attached to a throw away piece of cardboard. I'm not sure if my mom did that or if my grandmother did, but it's cute. Looking at it again makes me want to protect it a little better, I'm going to have to frame it soon.
I love the way she used simple cross hatching and negative space in the leaves of the tree. I love that there is a teeeeny tiiiiny electric pole in the background on the left, like maybe there is a road over there leading somewhere wonderful.
Enjoy!

So, I can't show you the whole thing yet, but I will give you a sneak peek of what I am working on for THIS!
What a great idea, an art quilt to fight domestic violence. Want to participate too? Just head to skull-a-day and get the directions and mailing address!
How adorable are those skulls?! Are skulls supposed to be adorable?

This piece was so much fun to make! I have worked on it for some time now, and finally think the right combination is complete. The face (mine) was just glasses and lips, then after talking to folks, and staring at this for a really long time, I decided to try and define the side of my face a bit more. Well, that really did it, the viewers eye is more able to 'connect the dots' on the shape and direction of the face.
I mentioned I might work on a series of self-portraits, and after this one I certainly am going to. This is my jumping off place; I started today.
Send me an email with a self portrait you've done, I'd love to see it and share it here!
