Two birdies

The last few days I was working on these two little birdies.
I haven't titled this painting yet, maybe "Innocent Love"...
Do you have any suggestions?

Fruit labels

I am collecting fruit labels and stick them to the

back of my writing board.
It's funny, sometimes I want to try new fruits just for their labels!
When I finished filling up the whole writing board
I'll show it to you again :)

Shipping tubes arrived!

Just wanted to stop by to say that my shipping tubes arrived and now

my peacock print is available in the shop!

Here is a detailed view of the peacock's wing feathers.

Peacock in progress

Just wanted to share the progress of my watercolor peacock with you!

Have a great Friday and weekend!

Lately...

Sketch of my peacock that I'm planning to color with

watercolors very soon.

A big bird that I saw from my window.

I don't know if it's an eagle or a hawk.

But it's so beautiful, and is flying so high.

My first papercuts

I did these paper papercuts yesterday for my brother's birthday.

I was inspired by lovely work of Elsita and I wanted to try it

myself. Now I have a lot of respect for people who do papercutting!

Moonrise

A beautiful moonrise from my window.

Moon was much bigger in person but it looks smaller in the photo.

I will get back soon with some fun stuff!

Thank you for your lovely comments on my snail! :)

Illustration Friday: Fast

Even snails can go fast!

Water color and pen on paper

Fall colors

These days I see a lot of leaves in amazing colors.

But these fuchsia ones were so eye-catching

I made a collection with them.

YAY!!! Thank you Holly!

My calendar was featured in Decor8 2010 calendar round up today!!!

My special thanks to lovely Holly!

Having fun with my calendar cards!

A lovely way to use the calendar cards at the end of the year.

It just needs some cutting and trimming!

I haven't forgotten about the 33 snails project.

Soon I'll show you the snail 10/33

Voilà!

This is how the packaging of my calendar looks like!
Today I added it to the shop.You can get all the details about it in there.


This is how it looks on my cork bulletin board.

These are the illustrations for January to June.

July to December.
. Enjoy!! :)

December - Snow

I am so excited that I finally finished making this calendar!

During this project I had many doubts. As you know I have

a chronic back pain that makes me slow in whatever I do.

So there are things that are really hard for me to do, one

of them is sitting! and making these cards needed a lot of

sitting and working with my computer, and I was afraid to

start it...but at the same time I couldn't get the dream out

of my head.

.

And now I have climbed that beanstalk that took me to

a lovely cloud! Actually that snail is me! Slow and steady ;)

Thank you dear friends for all the support that you gave me

along the way!

.

This calendar will be available in my Etsy shop hopefully

by tomorrow!

February - Love is in the air!

A little Valentine to warm your hearts in cold February!

.I also wanted to thank you all for visiting and leaving such lovely comments.

You are so wonderful and encouraging!
