Fox Ferns

I have some postcards printed up of this one. Tons of new postcard and pin designs, actually. I just have not had a chance to post them on etsy yet!

White Dragon

One of many con doodles...

Mushroom Forest

Available here.

With grad school and two jobs, I haven't had time to draw a full scene in ages! I got a chance to do this over a three-day long anime convention.

To Color or Not to Color?

To color or not to color - what do you guys think? Originally I was going to do colored pencils, but I kind of like the way it looks in b&w. Maybe instead of touching the original I'll do digital color...

Wishing

Thanks to everyone who wished me and my family well. <3

Blue Water Sprite

This one is my favorite so far. I'm still not sure what I want to do with this series. Postcards, maybe?

Purple Water Sprite

Purple Water Sprite

5x7" colored pencil & graphite on bristol board

I have always thought that water sprites and mermaids should be just as mysterious and deadly as their less fantastical counterparts...

Also, I know I'm a bit behind the curve on this, but I'm currently OBSESSED with this book.

Anyway, I hope everyone is well! Have a very happy Valentine's Day! 

Does anyone have special plans? ^_-

 

Water Sprites

Green Water Sprite

5x7" graphite & colored pencil on bristol board

The originals for my Earth Fairies series have sold, but some printed goods will be arriving soon...

Anyway, here is the first of my new Water Sprites series. It will be another series of three, same size as the last. Water Sprites are much shier than Earth Fairies, as they don't see people nearly as often, but I've tried to get them to come out of their hiding places...

Fairies for Sale!

 Hi, everyone! I've got two new original pieces for sale in my shop. Each one is 5x7" and comes in a black frame, which is ready to be hung or placed upright on a desk or end table.

 Little Green Fairy

5x7" graphite and colored pencil on bristol board.

This little green fairy loves nothing more than spending time among the chipmunks and birds. She's very friendly and will tell you where all the best nuts and berries are.

 Little Pink Fairy

5x7" graphite and colored pencil on bristol board.

 If she could, this fairy would spend her entire day in fields of wildflowers. At night, she makes tea from the flowers and herbs she has picked.

 Thanks for looking. <3
 

Little Pink Fairy & Some Stylish Blogs...

Another little Earth Fairy (in case you are wondering why these guys don't have wings, I'm planning on doing a sky and water series in the future). Hope you like her!

Now for the stylish blogs! Yeevon and Vanilla have nominated me for the Stylish Blog Award (aww, thanks, guys)! They have two of the BEST art blogs I have ever seen and you must, must, must check them out!

The award is a bit like tagging, and here are the rules:

Thank and link back to the person that awarded you.

Share 7 things about yourself.

Pay it forward to 15 recently discovered bloggers.

Contact those bloggers about the award!

7 Things: 

1. I have two Cornish Rex, a type of semi-hairless cat. Some people think they look strange but they are my babies and I love them with all my heart.
2. I love Disney Princesses and I love Disney Princess dolls. I have quite a few and even had my fiance go on ebay to buy me the Jasmine doll I had when I was a little girl! (P.S. I loooove Tangled! tehe)
3. I am VERY interested in fairy tales and I love finding different versions and translations. I own several books, including three different versions of Arabian Nights (or 1001 Nights, depending on the work). One has three very thick volumes and accounts for all 1001 nights!
4. Some of my favorite fairy tale illustrators are Edmund Dulac, Arthur Rackham, Kay Nielsen, and Virginia Sterrett.
5. Christmas is my favorite time of year and I'm dreading taking down my Christmas tree!
6. I've had recurring tendinitis in my hands and wrists since the age of 16, so I can only draw and type for a limited amount of time before taking a break and I usually sleep with a brace on my right hand.
7. Tiny toys make me happy! I love My Little Ponies and Pinky St. figures and have a few on my computer desk right now!

Happy New Year!!!

 

 Little Blue Fairy

5x7" - Graphite & Colored Pencil on Bristol Board

This one is a very late Christmas present for my fabulous Aunt, who is the best and most supportive aunt anyone could ask for! (But Shhhhh! Don't tell her, she doesn't know yet! ^_-)

 

One of the reasons I was so late with everything this year is that my little white cat Bonnard got very sick the week before Christmas and had to stay at the animal hospital for several nights. He finally came home in time for Christmas because he wouldn't eat when we weren't with him! He's on several medications right now and still needs more tests, but he is doing so much better and we are so happy to have him back. (So is his brother, Berlioz, who has barely left his side since he got home! That was the first time they have ever been apart.)

 And, right in time for this blog post, look at what I got in the mail!!! This is a gift from my very talented friend Anita (go check out her website and her blog)!

She made the most beautiful cards, which are printed on such gorgeous paper! I'm so happy to own a card with her illustration!

She also included gorgeous handmade ornaments and the cutest little lion sticker! You can't tell, but the sticker is glittery and has the coolest texture. Also, the ribbons for the ornaments are so nice and velvety...

Gosh, I am going to have to step my cards up next year! tehehe

I hope that you all have the most wonderful New Year! Do any of you have resolutions for the new year? Any special events to look forward to?

I have some new originals available! Both are ACEO size (2.5 x 3.5").

I hope you're not getting too sick of seeing ACEO pieces! I've been so busy with graduate school that this is a wonderful size for me - it means I can FINISH something! lol. I am going to try to do some mid-size pieces soon (4x6 - 5x7" or so). I hope that everyone is doing well!
