Native American

Hello all,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  It was a exciting weekend in New York.  We were able to see a solar eclipse.  We were not in the path of totality, but 72% of the sun was covered by the moon.   I thought it was interesting.  I found myself imagining what ancient cultures would think before they understood this natural phenomenon.  I could see why they would believe the "Gods" were angry or the world was ending.    We are so lucky that we tools and knowledge to explain such a bizarre event.

Anyway... enough rambling.   Here is another fall card.   I thought this little girl would be perfect a Thanksgiving card. I'm really enjoying practicing different skin tones and black hair.  So beautiful!!

Pumpkin Fairy

Greetings,

I know it is a little early to think about Autumn, but this cutie was calling my name.  He has been sitting on my desk for at least a year begging for some ink.

Birthday Hugs

Hello all,

As you know, I'm always looking to try something new.  I stumbled upon a card showcasing this technique on pinterest.    I thought it looked interesting and I happened to have the stamp...so I had to give it a try.   It has a really cool look to it.  What do you think?
