Black and White Doodles

I did these teeny little doodles at Artfits on Tuesday. I've typically think of a subject and then set out to draw it. In this case, I learned it can be a lot of fun to doodle randomly and THEN find the subject. The general consensus was that this one looks like a bird.

And that this one looks like an alien or some underwater sea creature.

What do you think they look like??

IF Hollow

I've recently been taking guitar lessons so when the IF word "Hollow" popped up, a guitar was an easy choice for me. This was first drawn with my black pens and then I tried a new technique- Watercolor!! A special thanks to Pat and Cathy for letting me borrow their supplies and for teaching me the value of letting go of control and perfectionism... I quickly found that when it comes to watercolor, it often has a mind of its own!

Thank you Nancy!!

As a part of the Pass It On, Random Act of Kindness, Give-Away, I have officially received my first piece of mail art!! I came home to a wonderful package sitting on my doorstep! The package included a beautifully altered photo (which will soon grace a wall in my apartment) and a handmade card. My scanner didn’t exactly do them justice but I wanted to show them off and send a big THANK YOU to Nancy. You made my day!!

(See the comments below to learn how Nancy created these beauties!)
