Weekend InspirACEOn

I just finished another ACEO card in my InspirACEOns series and thought I'd start off the weekend by sharing it.

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil." -Psalm 23:4

I hope everyone has a nice, safe weekend!

A Family Feline WIP

Here's a quick WIP shot of my latest My Furry Family piece, this one based on my little runt kitten.

This little kitty's pose is called "The Belly Roll".

I'll share the completed piece as soon as I finish it. And then I'll have three more family felines to draw!

InspirACEOnal Sneak Peek

I've been having a blast designing and creating inspirational ACEO cards for my InspirACEOns series. Here's a sneak peek of the newest additions to this series:

And here's a group shot of all the pieces in this ever-growing InspirACEOns series of mine:

I'll be making these original ACEOs available in my Etsy shop soon, and I'll let you know when that happens.

I hope everyone's had a great first half of the week! The weekend is just around the corner!

Fresh Week, Fresh Start

My journal and I are ready for another week!

I hope you all have a great week! And stay tuned for pictures and other news on some of my latest My Furry Family and InspirACEOns pieces!

A Little Birdie

This little cardinal I drew in my sketchbook scrapbook journal this past week has been very helpful in keeping track of my daily endeavors. Thanks, little birdie!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

InspirACEOns

I have started on another new artistic endeavor, amongst all of my others I have in the works. I've had some ACEO cards sitting around just collecting dust for quite some time now, and for this new project I decided to put them to use. In short, my new art project involves creating inspirational ACEO cards, or what I like to call InspirACEOns.

I have thus far created two pieces in my InspirACEOns series.

For this one, as you can see, I just drew a miniature version of another piece that I recently shared. I think I like this miniature drawing better. "When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go." -Carol Burnett

"Courage, dear heart." -C.S. Lewis

I already have a more or less tome's worth of quotes that I would like to illustrate, so this will certainly be a large, continual series. What I really like about these particular pieces is that they are not only fun but also relatively quick to create. ACEO cards are 2.5" x 3.5", so it doesn't take long to fill this canvas. And since I apparently enjoy having a multitude of projects started at once, it's nice to have pieces that I can have fun drawing in just one sitting.

I anticipate that most if not all of these will be pen drawings. What's more, I plan on selling the originals of these InspirACEOns in my Etsy shop. So stay tuned for news on their arrival in my shop!

Have a wonderful day, bloggers!

My Furry Family: The Cozy Canine

My next My Furry Family piece stars the sole canine in my family. She is a lab/shepherd/you-name-it mix, weighs 55 pounds, and is almost 2 years old. She is very active and very playful, and she is an ornery goofball. She is also very sweet and thankfully gets along with the multitude of cats in the family, usually. Also, she likes to take up as much room as she can on the couch, and she likes to sleep in some peculiar positions.

The cozy canine.
