Day 96- Head in the Clouds

It's been super stormy and rainy, with brief periods of sunny. So, today - Clouds.

Thinking this would be cute on a girl's bedding set.

Day 88 - Cartwheels

Day 74 - Day Glo Herbs

Day 71 - Many Leaves

Pattern from Day 62, with color. Lots of color. 

This design will definitely end up as a tea towel and pillow cover. 

Day 68 - Be Different

I was at my friend's house tonight and we got into a great discussion about taking inspiration, and then doing your own thing.

On my way home I did some thinking, sometimes it's hard to put yourself out there and truly do your 'own' thing - in fact, it can be downright scary. Like when I started posting my drawings for the world to see. For me, it's like baring a bit of my soul. Even on the 68th day, I still get nervous pushing 'Publish' and then posting to Instagram. But on the whole, this exercise has been an amazing adventure.

So, I give you, 'Be Different.'

Day 67 - Bowl of Fruit

Day 60 - Lovebird Fanciness

Day 57 - Japanese Kamon

I've long been fascinated with the kamon, or, Japanese family 'crest'. Such simple shapes with such a powerful meaning. You can find out more here.This is my own take on those wonderful shapes.

Day 55 - Violets

It appears I'm a day behind... 

Day 51 - At Home in the Bluegrass

I was raised in Louisville, Kentucky - my favorite city - a city that's northern enough to be liberal in its values, but southern enough to have manners and tea. Lots and lots of tea. 

My ode to my home state:

At Home in the Bluegrass

As an upholsterer I think about interiors... A LOT. Here's my first take on a rug.
