It looks like the month of May is going to be one of those times. I have gotten very little creative work done this month. As much as I love my dolls and fabrics, family is - and always will be - more important. This is how it should be.
In the interim, I will share with you some things I found in old sketchbooks. These are from my younger days and I would like to incorporate some of them into my work some day.
This was a scene in my college dormitory - obviously a rainy day. I don't remember the umbrellas being very colorful. But, of course, if I use them in a fiber design they will be a riot of color!
A self portrait at the ripe old age of . . . seventeen! I don't dare try that nowadays. LOL!
A quick sketch of our doberman sleeping on "her" couch. She had been known to crawl into your lap if you sat on the couch past her bedtime!
Ideas for a library poster. I saw a dragon character in a book or something (it was a very long time ago) and did several sketches of this dragon with the idea of a series promoting the local library. I don't remember actually using any of them, though. Rats!
I hope to be back in the studio before too long. Stay tuned.

I like the umbrella sketch very much; it's such a collection of interesting shapes. I can see it in somber colors too, sort of reminiscent of Caillebotte's painting of the Paris boulevard on a rainy day.
Thanks for sharing your drawing. The Green Dragon betrays your great sense of humor and there's something about him that resembles you. ????
Hi Liz =-) Thanks for stopping by my blog! Don't worry, I will have things up for giveaway periodically for a very long time to come(!) so you will be sure to get there in time at some point =-) I think this is a good way to do it, just first come, first served, rather than a drawing as I have done in the past. Anyway, it is helping me make more room and I love that! =-)
Your drawings, dolls and journals are wonderful! I'm going to bookmark your blog so I can come and visit again! Yes, aren't the jacaranda trees amazing?!? I love them!
