I love when you just stick stuff on a scanner, do a little in photoshop and it becomes something cool. This is from today’s Woogie Wednesday. These will appear in an assignment I’m working on and also future pattern designs for licensing. A few weeks back I designed some stamps specifically for my junk a doodles work so this is really the first time I’ve had a chance to use them.

We’re currently working on our Woogie Wednesday project over here, but thought I’d share this. The Woog had problems hanging her pictures on the wall today (“They won’t stick!” which is pretty much the reason she is using painter’s tape. Otherwise I’d be peeling off masking tape from the wall along with nice chunks of paint) so she decided to make a small gallery on the floor. The is a portrait of a non-existent cousin (I forgot the name she gave her). I think it’s her best portrait yet and it’s the first time I’ve noticed eyebrows on her drawings. Too bad this is on newsprint and not an archival paper

Our Woogie Wednesday that turned into a Woogie Weekend (yes, it is Friday but we try to have 3 day weekends every weekend) is finally done!

We’ve been working on something over here. Hopefully we’ll finished it up today while the sun is still out for photographing. If not, check in tomorrow!

here are some more gouache pieces I’ve worked on. I’m pleased with the little boy but I think the beaver is a little dark. For him I also used a new graphite paper to trace my drawing and the line came out too thick and waxy. Overall I’m really loving gouache ut am unsure if I’ll add it to my illustration medium yet. Maybe it could be my picture book style since picture books tend to use more traditional mediums. Who knows…

I hope (HOPE!) to get back on track with Woogie Wednesdays today. It seems like we’ve always been busy or out the past several ones. I think today’s theme will be space so we’ll see what we come up with. Check here later today for it.

*Our project is up now!

The W party went great! Here’s a picture of her cake. All the w’s are chipboard pieces that I bought on etsy.

Oh, and Happy Tax day to those in the US (or at least try and make it happy)! If you work at the IRS, my check will probably pay for your entire salary this year

Today’s woogie wednesday can be found here.

Someone will turn 4 on Saturday!

It’s Wednesday again and time for Woogie Wednesday. I think Wednesdays might be changing around here. We started a project this morning but she was done done about 15 minutes into it, which had kind of happened on and off this year. I’m thinking I should change the structure of WW and just do other creative things besides making art. So, here’s one thing we did today:

We FINALLY (sorry to the ones on the list!) got around to putting on our traveling tail and taking a picture. Traveling Tales is the brainchild of Stacy at Mama’s Doodles. Here’s the flickr group with instructions. She’s currently on maternity leave but go ahead and bookmark her shop here and in the future you can get a tail all your own.

It’s Wednesday again and time for Woogie Wednesday.

It snowed today, so we went out this morning and playing the the snow as our “project” for today.
