Vintage Boots


My mom and I were trying to decide what we wanted to draw yesterday when I told her we should both just draw a squiggle and trade cards and build on that squiggle.

When my mom handed my my card it reminded me of boots and then I just started adding things on it making "Vintage Boots"

Below, you can see I've whited-out the line that my mom origanally drew. If you go to her blog, you can see the line that I origanally drew on her card.









My Kind of Pyramid


The scanner made the colors paler. On the real card all of the peices of paper are neon.

This was a lot of fun to make. I was constructing a poster of the Periodic Table Books of the Bible while watching Harry Potter movies 2, 4, and 5 (awesome movies BTW). I used my left over paper scraps and this is what it turned into.

Life is Colorful


This was a doodle that I started on the way home from seeing Dark Night in the movie theatre.

By the time I got home my doodle told me it wanted a cute little message to tie it all together and a wide variety of color. It got it's wishes.

Elephant


Here's my watercolor elephant. It didn't turn out quite right but he's OK. I don't think it turned out like a total disaster, it's just not quite right....My mom likes him so I decided not to throw him away.

Trees by the Riverside


This turned out to be a lot lighter than the actual card I made but it'll do.

I was trying for an oriental look and this is what I got. But that's OK, pracctice makes perfect...

Gotta Start Somewhere


This is the very first Art Trading Card that I've made. It was so much fun to make because there is really no point to all this randomness and I usually have a point to everything.

So this was just for pure pleasure and I loved every minute of making it! I think my favorite part to draw was the farm and animals.
