SHOW...

So I kinda went nuts one day and designed all this stuff...

And there are so many more where those came from! 

TELL....

I'm going home to Kansas for the entire week, next week.  And... since I find designing relaxing... gues who is coming with me?  Yup... Mac (that's my computer, don't feel bad if you're a little slow :)  And it's not a lap top.  How pathetic am I?  No, I guess I'm not really pathetic, more like practical.  Yeah.  That sounds better :)  

This way I can enjoy some design time while family helps watch kids and I can also keep up with Etsy and Blog (lucky you!) stuff.   So I'd tell you all that I will miss you during the next week... but I won't.  I'm taking you with me.  :)

Blessings,

Ready for the wall!

Lori's little girls share a room... so naturally they needed matching initial name prints! This project was fun because I got to create a butterfly pattern for the background to match their bedding...I love butterflies :) Now they just need a couple of frames and they're ready for the wall! Yeah!

More alphabet art...

Well, here's my progress with the alphabet letters... I'm kind of taking a new approach with it: mixing the graphic patterns with the drawings. Who knows?! It's a fun process though!

I envision printing these as 8x10s, ready to frame. I thought too, birth info or a bible verse could be added under the name... let's see, two of each letter...I've finished five...only 47 more to go!! HA!

A is for Alice

It was so nice... to be able to spend a little time drawing and working on the computer today! I'm so glad that TC homecoming is over... I worked on A today since I'm partial to the letter :) This is kind of what I envision producing with the letters someday... maybe as a 5X7 print or something. Let me know what you think... I need feedback in this process! :)

a little art work...

When I lived in Iowa, I developed an alphabet collections of illustrations. Each alphabet letter was filled with a child or baby doing something... I painted some of them in watercolor, creating coordinating sets to form names for Alice and some of my friends, but beyond that I never really did anything with them. I've always wondered how I might be able to use my designs/drawings in a more enjoyable way (I don't really like the mess of watercolors with little ones around!)... Well, I was looking at some blogs the other day and came across an absolutely beautiful artist who inspired me! She creates beautiful illustrations of children also...She draws in pen and then colors them in Photoshop. I immediately thought of the piles of drawings that I had under the bed and decided to give it a try! Okay... this process was way more enjoyable to me and took much less time!! Yeah!! I really like the results, too... Well, I'm not sure what I'll do with my new found option, but I'm excited to start converting my drawings into pen and start coloring them in Photoshop. You can see my first attempt above :) You'll have to check out the other blog, too... www.sarahjanestudios.com/blog/ So fun!!
