Keep A Weather Eye On the Horizon

I love drawing facial features as many have noticed from our ink blots. If there are teeth, or eyes, or lips thrown in there, I probably did it. This is another colored pencil drawing that hopefully will converted into a brooch soon. We've run into a few snags on that project, but keep a look out. We'll be sure to post pictures as soon as they are completed.

Also on the horizon:
If you are anywhere near Augusta, GA during first Friday on March 7th, we will be downtown at Vintage 965. They are doing an eco-themed show and we have been invited to go hang out, meet people and make some jewelry. We'd love to meet some fellow etsians, or anyone else for that matter, so drop by and see us if you can. :) We've been gearing up for this event for about a month now, so we aren't listing anything new in our shop until March 9th. In addition, we will be taking most of our items from our shop to the event, so if there is anything you have your eye on, shout at us now! Hope everyone has a great week!

Well Lick My Lips and Call Me Luscious!

Dangerously seductive pulse raising just bitten lusciously red.....lips. Color Theory in colored pencil for illustration friday.

Well, since we just posted the weather wheel, I thought we'd have a circular weekend. This is the first in a series of little colored pencil drawings I'm working on. I plan on turning them into little brooches adorned with little upcycled parts. Each one will be completely unique with an original drawing. No prints will be used.
I've always loved blood red lipstick. It reminds me of the 40's starlets. Mouths aren't bad either. I have a series of mouths in different mediums called "Progression of a Smile". I'll have to dig them up and post a picture one day.

Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day :)
*kisses*

A Light in the Darkness

First of all I'd like to thank Titania Blossoms for taking an interest in my colored pencil work. Despite my nervousness, she recently commissioned a piece to use in her shop. I had a great time drawing this little lady, and she seems quite pleased as she glides over her flowers. Perhaps I should pick up the pencils more often. It's been quite a while. :)

Please visit Titania Blossoms here.

The Green Fairy

This is my submission for Illustration Friday for "forgotten". She looks like she has been hurt and left behind, although I don't know who could just forget her.

I think it is important as an artist to look back every now and then. I tend to forget about phases I went through, pieces I was proud of, and techniques I abandoned. This is one of my favorites in colored pencil, a medium I'd nearly forgotten about. I keep thinking I ought to sell her, but I haven't been able to let go yet. A sensible person would at least hang her on the wall, but no... alone she sits waiting for me to make up my scattered mind. There are so many pieces I wish I had pictures of. My head has lost track of so many.
