MSED: Bird a Day #107 CD Cover

My daughter Sarah, left one of her music CDs at my house the other day. It had no cover. Poor naked CD. She already has the music on her ipod I'm sure, and doesn't really need the CD but I just had to cover the poor thing up before it got scratched. I used this video to create it. (turn down the sound, it's strictly a visual demo and the sound track is somewhat annoying)

Sarah! Come home any time and get your CD! xo

Watercolor paper, watercolor, pen, and gel pen

MSED: Bird a Day #31- Fla-flingo ATC

In honor of Bruce and Sam who are visiting the sunshine state. 

And for Sarah who, when she was a little girl pronounced flamingo this way.

Watercolor and pen. (The colors on this one are much better in person)

MSED: Bird a Day #29- ATC Out on a Limb

Pink Breasted Blue Winged Limb Squatter

Just a water color or two

After all the weirdness of the past few MSED bird posts I decided to do something that I wanted to do. This first one is an attempt at capturing the beautiful peonies that I inherited from my sister. (I really want to take a class on technique.)

 This one is a "Tangle Pattern" doodle. The foreground pattern is called Oke and the background is called Hybrid. If you would like to learn how to draw these patterns and many more check this link out.

I use and alter a lot of the patterns on this site when I draw.

MSED: Bird a Day #12 -Where's the Bird?

I promise, no missing bird this time, only hidden. In fact there are two birds; maybe that makes up for the missing one last post. Well, I am a day behind and I hope to make up for it soon. 

On a side note, It's been a crazy week but a good one. I have the two most amazing kids/adults on the planet and it's ok for me to think so I am their mother. Go, offspring go!

Goodbye Spring

The last of the bird silhouettes, I promise... maybe.

Did I say how much I love water color?
