Mother and Child Giraffes Products and Art

Most of my art up until now has been paintings and outline drawings. But I recently read a book that inspired me to try something new.


Can you tell what I did? Does it look like a painting? Actually it is a drawing. First I drew the outline of the bodies. Then I used Sharpie Markers to color in the base color. Then I used Prang Colored Pencils - to add depth and shading. Voila.

Here are the giraffe's printed on an apron:


Let me know what you think. Have you done any art in one medium that looks like it's been done in a different medium?

Halloween Wizard Cat and Pumpkin Ghost Stickers, Aprons, and Bags

I love Halloween. It's a colorful time of the year and a fun time to let your imagination soar. There are golds and reds in the trees, and people are dreaming of what they want to be.

This year, Halloween will be a different kind of holiday. Both safety and health will be important aspects to keep in mind. Perhaps the kids can trick or treat in their own house, trick or treating at each door for a personalized Halloween treat.

Also an important message for Halloween is to be what you want to be, like the cat wanting to be a wizard and the pumpkin wanting to act like a ghost, on these stickers.

Some are dreaming of being cowgirls or something as simple as dice, as shown on these aprons. Are you ready for some baking?


But most are kids that are getting ready to go Trick or Treat with their Halloween bags. Was this cat becoming one with the pumpkin!


Whatever you're doing for Halloween, or any time in between, may you have a wonderful time, and continue being what you want to be.

Love and blessings.
