As you can see, I’m still on my birdie kick! And being that I am really desiring Spring or better yet Summer weather, I just had to create some of my sunshine.
I have not had good results doing hair with markers, so off I went to grab my watercolor pencils to do her hair in the only way that I know how. By lightly sketching the strands of hair, then using a small brush that I dip in water and apply to the watercolor pencil marks. Quite fun really! I do enjoy this technique so I’ve got to make a note to self to do more of it! LOL!!
And since my little birds can’t live their lives fully without a name. I named her too!
I thought this name appropriate because all my DH and I have been talking about when we mention travel, is Australia! Don’t know when that’ll happen but just laying the groundwork….laying the groundwork.
Hope you all are getting some nicer weather and can move yourselves and projects outdoors to get some much needed vitamin D.
If anyone is interested in a 4x6 print of a name or word. Contact me at elg921(at)yahoo(dot)com.
Oh, Sheila is quite the bathing beauty in her sexy red swimsuit! Love her sandals, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Eden...first time to your blog...I love your colorful bird people. Janet sent me the sketchbook and that is how I found out about you. That sketchbook is getting around...I'm in northern Arkansas. Anyway...wanted to say hi...now, I'm off to check out the rest of your art.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Mary
I hope she remembers the sunscreen lotion if she's heading to an Aussie beach....love your bathing birdie, Eden. Sheila is a perfect name too!
ReplyDeletei have obviously been away for too long. i saw your bird and i grinned real big. is she a wading bird? her sandals are spectacular. sheila is a right dinki di name, too.
ReplyDeleteyour name doodle is awesome. I gave up on my alphabet because it was too overwhelming to doodle things that began with the letter i was doodling. perhaps i need to ease up on myself (one more pattern to recreate, right?)
I adore your birds, they are so colorful and creative!
ReplyDeleteI love your artwork and your blog! You have inspired me to try some of the wonderful things you've done. I've never felt particularly artistic but it's time I stop worrying about what other people think and express myself! Thank you so much for sharing!
