    holiday garland is nearly done and painting progress

    diy diyholiday paintingprogress doodles

    Happy Tuesday <3

    glad to be back! 

    The fabric garland I was working on is now hanging in my dining room <3 It’s not completely finished yet but I like the idea of adding pieces perpetually. There’s still room on the string for plenty more. I’ll probably find a good stopping point this week and keep it up throughout the holidays. 

    I also spent time on a few canvases. I have a better idea of how I want “Semi-real” (first picture) to turn out. I’m still figuring out placement and will work on it more this upcoming week.



    I’m a little stuck on the untitled unicorn/red bull piece, but will work on it more too.


    Finally, I decided I wanted to re-work the face in my untitled sunscreen painting. 

    between the bigger projects i did a little drawing as well.

    

    i need to practice on realism with more reference pictures, but i love drawing whatever i want most of all.

    Lastly, I stamped this headband with the new letter stamps I got from the thrift store :D I love the font and think it’d be cute to color In the letters.

    𝗉𝖺𝗂𝗇𝗍𝗂𝗇𝗀𝗌: “𝖲𝖾𝗆𝗂-𝗋𝖾𝖺𝗅” , “𝗎𝗇𝗍𝗂𝗍𝗅𝖾𝖽 𝗎𝗇𝗂𝖼𝗈𝗋𝗇” , “𝗎𝗇𝗍𝗂𝗍𝗅𝖾𝖽 𝗌𝗎𝗇𝗌𝖼𝗋𝖾𝖾𝗇”, 𝗁𝗈𝗉𝖾𝖿𝗎𝗅𝗅𝗒 “𝖭𝗂𝗉𝗁𝖾𝗍𝗈𝗌”


    between putting more time into the canvases, I really hope to do more drawing- I think it needs to be an everyday thing.

     

    Wish me luck

     

    Thank you for stopping by

    I hope you and yours have a very lovely holiday ♡

    Marianne paper doll & some doodles

    paper doll Marianne doodles

    good evening <3

    I spent most of last week working on a paper doll outline

    This is “Marianne”

    I like how she turned out overall :-) the current outline is in pencil, but I made a copy to cut up and test. I used colored pencil for her clothes. Accessories and apparel are supposed to be secured by the black and white tabs. I found that a few garments were cut a little small, and I’d need to re-draw the stand, but it wasn’t a bad first attempt. I may make her a little bigger for ease in cutting her from the paper.

    I also debated whether to leave her as a bit of line-art or add color to her complete outline. I kind of like the idea of being able to customize her completely.


    I figured if I liked the turnout once she’s done, maybe I’d work on more dolls with different names and outfits. I’m considering putting more work into it this week if I have some time. 

    I also did a little doodling in my down time. Hoping to do a little drawing every night - even if it's not great, even if it's brief <3

    next week: maybe work on paper dolls? also probably some painting

    I'm finally feeling a little motivation to work on some canvas works in progress, so I'll probably do some painting. Maybe re-size and print a new, better copy of Marianne.

    I need to revisit my goal list "(っ- ‸ - ς)ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁


    thanks for stopping by
