Drawing Day, Nomnomnom & Muffins

I submitted this to the Drawing Day pool. June 6 was Drawing Day.

See WIP photos, here.

My prince and I went to Nomnomnom Cafe a couple of days ago to try out their vegetarian dishes. We heard about it on a local chanel’s food review.

Happy Hemp Pesto
Yes folks, you read right. It was the seeds that’s part of the sauce and not the leaves though. The hemp seeds added a hint of earthiness to it. Its a bit like the scent of linseed oil and wet soil after a rainy day. Very comforting and very delicious.

Smashing Pumpkin Soup This was very tasty and filling. A bit salty for my taste though.

I baked some muffins this weekend.

Banana Crumble Muffin

Am going back to work and do some errands today. Have a great week everyone!

Envelope Art

I love embellishing and altering the envelopes before I send out anything to anyone. These are some that I made for sending out molies (moleskine sketch books) to members in the moleskine exchange group I belong to. I had much fun making them. I hope they bring as much happiness to the receivers as they did to me while making them.

A pay envelope I altered with drawings.

This is en route to Sao Paolo, Brazil.

Envelope Art

I’m sending the “My Past Lives” moly of Jen Duckrow to Monica Rizzoli Gomes so she can make her entree to it. I had fun making the envelope.

Here’s the mess I made during production.

Letting Go

I’ve been working on this for a while. I finished it today. Not really sure what the title should be but its about letting go of sad, painful and ugly things in my life.

Despite how dark this page is, because its about letting go then its cause for happiness.

I’m officially retired. I filed for retirement last Friday. Now I can do art full time and prepare for a new life with my prince.

Happiness!

The Phoenix

I couldn’t figure out how to incorporate both the bird and the hair theme in my entree. I finally decided on the phoenix.

Here’s the WIP photos of it.

I hope she likes it.

Happiness!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

I’ve been playing with Shrinky Dinks this week. Its so fun watching it shrink. My students were squealing as they watched their drawings shrink in the toaster oven at school.

Have a lovely Valentine’s day everyone!

Happiness, always!

Hope you like it Robert!

New Work and Updates

Here’s my first attempt at making an entree on Yelnoc’s portrait moly…

I couldn’t salvage the page. Tried white washing it but it wasn’t really working so I cut the 2 panels and glued it back.

I wanted to pick up from Robert’s gaze and this is the solution I came up with…

Here’s Robert’s self-p that I used as reference for this. Minus the bruises, that is..

Also, my prince arrived last November and so I’ve been busy and have not been able to update my blog.

Ride from the airport.
