Before I got married in the fall of 2007 I wanted to have a fairy bridal tea party. I used an online fairy name generator to get the name and description for my friends. Then I sent out invitations to my friends with their fairy on them. The card below is my fairy.The book contains sketches of the fairies becky susannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08128364778607326011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700920991608840292.post-39389043634356159992016-12-15T07:04:00.001-05:002017-04-02T21:24:10.773-04:00I have now been commissioned to do three Lilo and Stitch paintings.

I had no idea how to pack so many at once so I ended up coming up with a system that works pretty well. I use ribbons lace that I have had forever to keep the cards in place on a piece of cardboard. I mail them in an envelope because I always have those on hand. Anyway this last order I decided to photograph it.

I even did my senior thesis in college on her, but it wasn't until the past few years that the monster showed up. They are best friends. A very good friend of mine encouraged me to write and illustrate a book about them and I tried, but didn't get very far, and she is the only one who has read it.

I always love the Totoro art and finally decided to try to do a Patrilia and Totoro crossover. Of course my Patrilia and Monster aren't famous but they are pretty important to me. So here's my attempt to do something half as good as Studio Ghibli. I used ink and watercolors, then I becky susannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08128364778607326011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700920991608840292.post-58780199082418276252016-07-13T10:39:00.000-04:002016-07-13T10:39:41.622-04:00Lilo and StitchA while back my sister asked me to paint this as a gift for a friend who was expecting a baby.

The few I do have in town I didn't want to bother, but then my knight in shining armor, Casey came to the rescue. She is my soul sister.

It sat on a shelf for a long time and Lukas never played with it. So a few weeks ago I got it and decided to paint it. Oskar immediately took notice, and he loves it. Here is the finished product.

They got a job nomatter what it was. It didn't matter if they liked it, it was just what they had to do. Thats what the older generations did. They worked. Even if and when that job made them miserable.

Many, many months ago, maybe even last summer, I bought this spice rack at a friend's yardsale. It was brown and had all these cool glass spice bottles inside. It was very dusty and some of the bottles were stained, but I just knew I could make it the spice rack of my dreams.
