Illustration Friday: stripes



I have been working on Hanukkah images this season. This is a holiday that needs a little more colour! Here are some valgal HomeTown Hanukkah Houses. The images are slightly distorted because I photographed them on a curved sheet of paper. They are diecut to make garlands, cards and gift tags. The holidays are quickly approaching so no matter what you celebrate, have a very good one!




Question everything. Every stripe, every star, every word spoken. Everything.

I don't know how I missed this last week! I just love these. So cute, with great colors. And I agree, Hanukkah always gets stuck with blue and silver, doesn't it? Love your style and details.
