My drawings...


This is an orginal drawing by J. Auck.
I love to draw...mostly women in one form or another. This is a fairy dancing in the garden. Drawn on white news print in black acid free ink then colored with acid free markers. I have sketch books full of doodles like this one.
I've been going through them, finding drawing to scan. I've also been researching selling crafts on the internet. There are some very interesting articals out there. :)

More crafty stuff...

Close up of the snowmen lapel pins. The shapes are pre-made these were just bare wood. I used Craft paints. I used a product called Crystal Effects by Stampin' Up as a sealer and that's what gives them the high gloss look.


I painted all this for my sister in law last Christmas, I had her name in the gift exchange.


Painted dolls for my nieces and my best friend's daughter.


Another painted snowman, this one was given to my Mom last Christmas. She also got a snowman lapel pin. She really liked the pin!

One Red Rose



I was scanning some other stuff, I came across this drawing I did a few years back. I love to draw! I've been drawing since I was little...I use to draw on the articals in the pages of my Mom's Ladies Home Journal magizines.






This one was done in 2005...I draw lots of women, it's entirely drawn freehand then colored with markers. :)

Okay...

I have pretty much checked out everything that blogger offers. Yet, I still am not sure what to do with this blog. I'm thinking craft blog...Since I am a crafter.

Right now I'm working on name tags for my Aunt and Uncle's business http://www.valuestreamvideo.com/index.html They are going to be at a Bridal Convention later this month. They were so impressed with the Snowmen pins that they asked me to make their business name tags.



These are the Snowmen that I painted, then I glued pins on the back and gave them for gifts this last Christmas. Those whom received them loved them! I plan on painting more of these cute little guys for gifts again this year.






Aww, this our cat Sonny. I love to take his picture! :)

Just don't know...

What to do with this blog.

I haven't a clue? I suppose I should give this some more thought...
