Circus Queen!

I don't know.  Those white-ish backgrounds just weren't me.

Thinking of changing the Garden Girl background too.

As if my to-do list wasn't long enough already. :)

Anyway, backgrounds been added to "Circus Queen".

And "Circus Queen"has been added to my Etsy shop.

Lots of errands to run today.

Have a good one!

Illustration Friday - Toy

Still at it.

Today I'm working on...

...hand painted moleskine journals for tucking into Easter baskets.

First two...

...You-nique Girls are in my Etsy Shop!

Well, technically they are on my bed.

Hopefully soon they'll find a new home.

You can find "Pink Antenna" here.

And "Garden on the Go" here.

Can't wait to work on some more.

Have a great weekend!

IF - Cultivate

Another You-nique girl.

This one created with the Illustration Friday prompt, "Cultivate", in mind.

Also wanted to thank Deb for featuring some of my images in her post about childhood.

So, thanks Deb. :)

Choices

Here's what I have so far on this girl.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the background yet, but I'm happy with the paper/color choices so far.

Might leave her this way for now while I work on another one.

Also took some time this morning to make my Tuesday Treasury in shades of aqua and orange.

So much "pretty" over at Etsy, don't you think?

Did I mention here that I received my copy of Prims the other day?

It's just as wonderful as I thought it would be.

Here's a sneak peek of my article.

You can pick up your copy on April 1st to read the entire article and see the work of so many

of my favorite artists.

You can order it here right now.

Okay, gotta run.

Ray, our appliance repair guy will be here later to fix the dishwasher.

It broke yesterday about an hour after he left having just fixed the washer.

So I've got to go and take all of the dirty dishes out.

I hope after today I don't see Ray again for awhile. :)

Oh yeah, also wanted to mention that I lowered the prices on a few of the originals in my shop.

"Isn't it Wonderful"

and

"Pink Trees and a Princess"

Both are 8 x 10"s.

You are You-nique #3

This is actually the first girl I did.

She's probably my favorite.

I was playing around with some colors.

These probably aren't the colors I'll go with, but they are fun.

I checked around on Etsy to see if there would be anything to go with her if I did use this palette.

I found this:

And this:

And these might work:

Maybe some little curtains out of this:

Maybe these for entertaining:

And some pretty books can never hurt:

Anyway, you get the idea.

Which is probably that I'm a big time waster.

I do have something to paint, so TTFN!

You Are You-nique #2

Last night...

...I sketched until my hand hurt.

This is just one of several girls I've created in a series that I just may call

"You are You-nique"

Hope that's not already taken.

I have 6 more.  I'll save my favorite for last. 

I'm trying to be more organized in my work. Usually I'm all over the place.

Wish me luck. :)

 We had our first real walk of the spring this morning.

It wasn't as nice out as yesterday, but still not bad.

Here's hoping that it's "get outside!" weather where you are too.

xo

Di

Happy Wednesday!

It's pretty damp and dreary outside.

Seems like a good excuse to stay in and have a "Tea Party".

How are you guys spending your Wednesday afternoon?

Just playin' around...

Illustration Friday - Stir

Mmmm.  Brownies.

It's All About the Bunny
