doodling with joanne...

Yet another fun class via Joanne Sharpe:

Still healing from my second surgery, that's why I haven't been around. I promise I haven't fallen off the edge of the art world.

Finding myself

I feel like I'm starting to find myself in my art journals. Starting to find what my style is. And although it needs work, I like where it's going.

Collage

Guess I haven't been posting as often as I should. Truth is, I'm still one finger typing. Posting takes a long time away from crafting. :)
Oh, and I bought myself an electric pencil sharpener. :D

Raining?

It's raining colour

Time to play catch up...

I suppose I should have been posting throughout the week but here's what I've been up to while healing from surgery..,

Hand pain

It's one of those days that I wish I'd gotten the surgery on my right hand first. That way when I get my left hand done I'd be able to art my days away. That's what I'd planned to do this evening but I can't hold a pencil or a paintbrush. My right hand is too painful. Ironic, since my left hand is the one healing from surgery. I was, however, able to create these today.

Color love 101

My Joanne Sharpe inspired art girl.

Surgery

I had my carpal tunnel surgery yesterday. I'm now at home, healing and resting. I'm going to go through some of the online classes that I've taken and play with colours as much as I can. I'm in a lot of pain so it will be in short bursts for now.

Amazing.

More for my own documentation... Check out these Inktense pencil before and after shots.

Spoke too soon

Ok. Wow. I spoke too soon. I bought a few Derwent Inktense pencils today. I could play with these alllllllll night.

Playing with markers

I think I've decided that markers are still my favourite medium. Does that make me lame? I feel like my passion should be something more exciting than a marker. But... it's not. I love my Copics, Prismacolors, Zigs, and Microns.

a little of my work

Here's a little taste of what I've created over the past month, before creating this blog. Keeping in mind, some of it is just practice from classes I've taken, some of it is my own work...:
