day 2: teacup

day 2 (of 30 day of drawing with lisa congdon on creative bug) is teacup.

my "go to" hot tea is chai, cold tea is thai...

but one of my favorite teas ever was a blend of loose tea a friend of mine made with chrysanthemum and vanilla... yum!!

what is your fave tea? go get some!

thanks for stopping by!

30 days of drawing

i had a really fun time participating in creative bug's 31 days of drawing with molly hatch and heather ross. so, i'm going to try another similar older drawing challenge for june... the first prompt from lisa congdon is "draw a tree".

the current challenge is actually 30 days of painting with augustwren.... which i might also try because i'm HORRIBLE at watercolor.... 😀

if you haven't tried any of these chalenges, i encourage you to do so! thanks for stopping by and reading!

doodleydoo...

more and more, i'm really intrigued by surface and pattern design... i've always loved looking and buying (ha!) patterned fabric. and now with the introduction of custom printed fabric by companies like spoonflower, designing your own fabric can be a reality. in an effort to exercise my creative process, i picked up lisa congdon's book "20 ways to draw a tulip". i really love the whimsical quality of lisa's drawings and her fabrics. lisa also teaches online drawing classes on creativebug. these two doodles were made from lisa's prompts. these were so fun to make! i can't wait to try these techniques in other ways! :)
