School Supplies

Ahhh.

It's that time again.

And I just started it off right.

I am going to become a planner user.

And this is the lovely planner I'm starting out with:

Poketo  planners. I ordered the yellow one and can't wait :)

Wings

The clouds were wonderful today.

Postcard Project!

This is a project I originally wanted to do around February but had other projects in the way so it had to wait. I'm reallllly glad it did because I had some things to work out (and still do) but now is a much easier time to work those things out than it was then.

So.

This is definitely going to turn into a series and I'm definitely liking most everything about except a few things that need tweaking. (mainly just my stitching skills and my illustrations)

Originally I just drew it out, not knowing if I was going to watercolor or not and definitely not knowing that I was going to go monochromatic. If I did, the rainbow coming off the Golden Gate Bridge would not have been drawn....)

Of course I had to stitch elements

I forgot to take my step-by-step process so had to shoot once I had just started watercoloring.

Final!

Woo! It feels good to have one done. 

I have a list of what I want to do, but they take about a week working mildly for each so I'll do my best with the time I have left. 

I'm thinking:

1) San Francisco

2) Boston

3) Hometown

4) School Town

5) Bermuda

6) Alaska 

7) New York

I think that's going a little too far down the list for what I have time for, but I'll probably move around the order. Those are just ones I'd really like to get to. 

I'm definitely focusing on places I've been because some places I can pinpoint things that stuck out to me and some are the more notorious landmarks, but were still important to me.

Wish me luck!

Keep it up

I have a lovely plane photo to share AND more to add to my cover designs! I'm finally in a place to get some work done and I'm getting more excited to see it finished.

This is an Anthia fish. I thought they were lovely and it was brought up in the book so I just had to make one. Still need some slight scale details and then it should be good!

I really like the repetition and cleanness of small stroke lines so I just had to test it out in watercolor. I really like it.
