FLAPPER G'MA

My Grandma and her friend wearing flapper hats, a sketch.

MOM AS A CHILD

Ink and colored pencil drawing on a 5"x7" piece of drawing paper during an eight hour (double decker) bus ride.This drawing is loosely based on a childhood photo of my mom.

NATURALLY WARM

Ohhhh, look at those legs. Maybe it's a man, maybe it's a lady. Either way, don't they look warm? Print of an ink illustration that's been digitally colored and collaged then made into a lovely little greeting card.

Cards are printed on creamy colored 80lb cover weight paper and come in packs of five (with envelopes). Available in my etsy shop!

WHAT A HAT

What a hat! A character, from an old-time photo I found, who is wearing the most flamboyantly feathered hat. An ink drawing with watercolor accents on a 6"x6" piece of watercolor board. ...mmmmm, you have to LOVE those old time hats and collars.

TOP SECRET

Some proof that I have not been lazy-ing it up for the past two weeks. Freshly completed top secret paper mache project.

HINTS: Slightly higher flour to water ratio worked the best for me. And really squeegee the paper strips (If it gets too soggy the balloons deflate) ...Also, I'd recommend this as an outdoor project. So much paper mache splatter to clean off the living room.

FRIENDSHIP

An ink drawing with a collaged detail. Drawn of old-timey friends for an old/current timey friend. Black ink on smooth bristol board.

ALSO, this drawing is photographed (not scanned) and I must say, the lines are much crisper in person.

OLD TIME ME

Ink drawing on newsprint of an old time outfit with a collaged horses face.

FANCIFUL COLLAR

Ink and watercolor sketch of an old time photo. Such serious faces and fancy collars, yes, please.

BIRDS EYE VIEW

New collaged frame! Close-ups of bird's eyes with a three dimensional flamingo down the side. Comes complete with a print of an original illustration. Multi-functional with a wall hanger and a table stand on back. This can be found at the adorable Shop Next Door in Cedar Rapids, IA.

PRETTY IN PLAID

Combination of illustration and collage with a digitally collaged background.
