Illustration Friday: Lush
My submission for Illustration Friday's "Lush" theme is a functional piece of art that can hang or sit and it also serves as a little vase or flower holder by way of the chimney. I am going with the origin of Lush from the year 1610, Middle English LUSCH which means soft and tender :} I am calling this house "Lusch Life" and it is inspired by this song. Have a wonderful Labour Day Weekend and Happy Weekend to all!
paper, liquitex acrylics, glue, texture medium and a flower holder inside the house.

Illustration Friday: Rescue
My submission for Illustration Friday's "Rescue" theme is a painted paper sculpture and it is completely created from a piece of Stonehenge paper. It is lovely to start with a simple sheet of paper and turn it into a full colour dimensional image. I also used one pin, glue and a piece of thread. Happy weekend everyone!

Illustration Friday: Urban
My submission for Illustration Friday's "Urban" is a colour pencil drawing called "Homeward Bound". This is a colour study for a painting by the same name. Have a happy weekend!
Homeward Bound.
I wish I was,
Homeward Bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Illustration Friday: Egg
My submission for Illustration Friday's " Egg
" is one of my Home Town die cut greeting cards. This card is a shoppe that features Easter items and like all of my Home Town cards it stands on it's own and when you collect all 5 you have a little town :) The original is Liquitex acrylics on Canson AirBrush Paper. Each card is a different die cut and there are 10 different buildings in total for holidays, birthdays, important anniversaries or simply just to say I am thinking of you.
Happy Easter and Happy Passover!
