These are some ornaments that I designed, hand stitched and beaded. They are made out of felt. I also made a few in colors that aren't just Christmasy because I thought that they would be cute as any time of the year decorations.

I drew this ATC on illustration board and colored her with prisma color colored pencils.

I made some decoden cameo pendant necklaces! I am really pleased with how they turned out. One of them is Vanellope from Wreck It Ralph, One is Santa and Rudolph, and the other one is my own original art work of a little monster.

Here is a painting I finished, It is 8x10 and painted with acrylic paint, I used some iridescence medium to make look extra frosty.

I love adventure time so much, so I made a painting!

Here is a self portrait I made. I took a picture of myself with a digital camera and then used colored pencil on top of it. I call it War Paint.

Sometimes no matter how hard I try to work on my "serious" drawing, I end up creating all kinds of new little "friends." These are some of the doodles that come out of my pen and tempt me to be silly instead of work on my "real" art.









Thanks for looking at my misfit gang of doodle buddies!

I am working on a series of paintings, and right now they are just in the sketching phase so here are a couple of sketches:

Today, I needed to do something productive without to much pressure so I decided to make these fun Space Invader coasters out of Perler Beads.





I am really pleased with how they turned out. The colors are lighter and brighter in real life, but neon colors never photograph well. Thanks for looking!

So this summer I decided to get my feet wet in the realm of gardening. My hopes were that I would learn alot about it and then come spring I could hit it with full force. So I planted a few vegetable plants: cucumber, cherry tomato, bell pepper, and fairy tale eggplant. Well I doted on them for weeks and they got off to a great start.



Soon the seedlings turned into thriving plants:




Then I started to see blooms and little baby cucumbers:




After that something terrible happened. All the blooms withered and fell off. The baby cucumbers never developed. The other plants just kept leafing but doing nothing else. Eventually they season passed and we had our first few frosty night. So, we made plans to pull up our plants and try again later. After a week or two of never even glancing at them we went over to them to and found a couple of surprises.





The amazing thing is that this happened on a day when I was feeling like there was no hope and that my whole life has been a failure. It's like the universe gave me a sign that I still have reasons to be hopefull that my life will bear fruit. I am sure it was just a coincidence but I needed that coincidence today.
