Earthling Waterling

 In my last post, I shared the original sketch for these pieces

with a poem about how a sketch is the beginning  of a dream. 

I took that sketch and made two very different pieces.

Earthling Waterling

one life a mermaid

one life a modern gal

dwelling in the water world

walking on the earth

waves and wind caressing elements

simply being with what is

eternally

~

 This modern gal is done with prismacolor pencils and a Faber Castell Pitt pen,

6"x12" Nature Sketch Pad 130 LB..

The Mermaid piece is done with watercolor pencils and crayons,

11"x14" Canson Britol Smooth, 100 LB.

Please visit Paint Party Friday to enjoy wonderful art!

original sketch:

Butterfly Girl

her wings
made of energy
only some could see
she
a quiet flighty one
full of dreams yet to be

if you sense into her heart
you'll find a spiral dance
you'll sense her wings of dancing light
a bit like a butterfly's stance
~

oh! her face is so pink in this scan, her face is more light peach
and her top and hair a gray, oh well.

I have begun taking 21 Secrets

began with Jane Davenport's class

she asked to show her our 'doodle'

you know, what ever little thing that we have been sketching throughout life

well I have been sketching little energy spheres like in the wings above forever

do you have a doodle?

She is of the Earth

she 

is of the mountains

spirit

holds true course

rooted 

in the depths of soil

home for all

because she's born 

of earth

recently Karen of Contemporary Embroidery

posted some of her beautiful art 

it is a mix of paper with holes punched in it and stitching

She told me I should try it.

This is one of her amazing pieces:

you will have to visit her

post

to enjoy the rest!

and
visit her Etsy Shop

I will play with this more.....

I took a photo of this post card size art

against the window so that you can see the holes

no stitching in this piece

but somehow this is inspiring

and stitching on another piece will happen some day!
