Hope everyone had a nice January, as well as a nice February so far! My boyfriend and my best friend are having their birthdays this month, (I seem to attract Aquarians) which means I need to do some shopping soon!I've been busy lately with school and work, but have managed to find some time to do some artwork this weekend.
At the beginning of the new year, I told myself I would start keeping a dream journal. So far, I've been able to keep up with documenting my dreams. The cover of the journal has a fennec fox on it. (Because I had a dream I had one as a pet!) I haven't had enough time to get around to finishing the back of the cover, as well as the inside flaps, so this is just a preview of the front cover. The journal is a nice, cardboard-like material, which (in my opinion) complements the texture of colored pencils and makes the colors stand out more. I'm trying to get more comfortable with colored pencils. I'm too used to using markers.
Lately I've been going to thrift stores in search of clothes to modify/paint. This is the first product of my thrift store adventures. This shirt originally had long sleeves. I cut those off, then painted on the back of the shirt using acrylics and some fabric markers. I really struggled with the design at first. My original idea was to paint bunnies on the pocket/back panel, but I could not get the image of a lunar moth/roses out of my head, so I settled for this instead. I'm a little unhappy about the colors, in my mind they were much softer, but I'm glad with the results. I was going to take some process pictures of this project, but it was late at night when I was working on this, so I decided against that. I hope to do similar projects in the future, and I might end up selling some things on my etsy at some point?
Well that's all I have for now. Thanks for reading (:
