Snowy owl tile

Its been a while since I shared an artist I wrote about in my image journal.  First is a picture of the original ceramic piece with my write up, and the second picture is my rendering of it.

Dancing teapot

The fourth installment in my image journal.  This pot reminds me of the dancing dishes in Beauty and the Beast.

Pod vases

It's too bad the scans of my drawings are always lighter than in real life.  This is the second entry in my image journal.

Drunk as a Skunk

In my ceramics class I have to make an image journal featuring 10 different ceramic pieces.  Each entry has to consist of a picture of the piece, my rendering of it and a short write up on the piece and the artist.  Here is the first entry in my image journal.

Blank sketchbook anxiety

I've kept sketchbooks and journals blank for years because I didn't want to ruin the perfect pages.  I have a lot of anxiety about not being able to undo what I put on the paper.  I saw someone's "Wreck This Journal" and just looking at theirs was very liberating.  I don't plan on dragging my sketchbook by a string, but I am now comfortable with making mistakes, because its okay to make mistakes.  So here is one of the first drawings in my sketchbook; a red fox done in colored pencil

And on the adjacent page is a Born Ruffians lyric
"And I know foxes mate for life because they are in love"
