Rabbit and girl drawing and rabbit doll

Today I stayed in my studio for ten hours .
NOTHING was going right .... every drawing was so bad ..... I was getting so sad .
but I don't give up . I don't even know if that's good .
so here is an illustration for today . and Below is the rabbit doll . Ronnie [ biddybrain ] had many funny suggestions of what to put in her purse.
Everything from a mini cat pillow to a Cadbury egg. ha ha
but there is just a little heart charm in the purse right now . I think she shoplifts . [ like P.J. 's giraffe [ Imogene ]
I can never accept when I have a day like today .
I can't believe it when I can't draw , when nothing works !
ok , it's only midnight . I'm going back to work
I took a nap before . I'll be up til 4 .
happy ...... Thursday !

I made a dancing doll

I drew this out on fabric . and then I sewed it up .
I covered it with paint so it's not a 'soft ' doll.
She has a button with a loop on the back so she can hang on the wall
Uh.......................
what do you think ?
I made a rabbit doll too . Do you want to see her ?
Rabbit doll has a hat on and pocketbook [ that opens ]

I've got that
" What the heck am I doing ??? " feeling .

let's make another pillow

Hey ... I have a great idea ....Let's make a PILLOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

happy Sunday !

Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils ... true love

Both of these illustrations were done with ink and Inktense on fabric. The first one here is Sweet Lorraine . She's in my etsy shop now as a print .
I didn't make her into a pillow .
On Sunday nights there is a radio show out of Fordham University on Long Island .
It's called the Big Broadcast and they play songs from the twenties and thirties .
Rudy Vallee sang Sweet Loraine , and Nat King Cole. I wrote the lyrics on the back of the print and if you want you can read them in my Etsy shop .
The second photo is of the pillow I made today .
This is Bunnie with her bunny [ sold ] ,
I drew this with ink on a denim fabric .
Did I ever tell you I love Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

another sweater girl pillow for my Etsy shop. [sold]

Saturday !
made another girl pillow using ink and Inktense pencils .
I used willow and mustard ,
violet and sea blue.
I don't use any kind of final coat because the colors are heat set with my iron .
I will be putting this in my shop tonight
right now I have to go
do that dinner thing that we have to do .

Cat Inktense .... pillow etsy ....

okay who knew.... people like cats !
ha

My cat pillows are selling well on Etsy
so I made this one today
I just put this in my Etsy shop

I will tell you how I work with Inktense on fabric .
first I drew the cat angel with ink ,
then I colored on [ lightly ] sky blue Inktense . Then use a little water to even it out .
Then Indigo , water, then violet , then some willow , then some bark .
always using a little water between all the different colors . That's it !

Under the bed

Do you remember how I wrote that I have drawings EVERYWHERE ...
even under the bed .
You thought I was kidding ,
but I really found this today ,
under the bed in a an old suitcase.

I drew this ...[ the top drawing ]
May 8 , 1975.
uh ..... 33 years ago
but I count my life in pounds
but I won't tell you how many pounds ago this was .
SO .... I thought this old drawing was sort of cool ....
so I did another [second drawing ] with Inktense pencils
I sort of like it .
Do you like it as 'unfinished' ???
I'll still mess around with this I think.
I wonder what else is under the bed .
Happy ....... TUESDAY !
