The Art of Ramona: Christmas is coming!

Christmas is coming!

Okay, I know what the date is, but I didn't really know what the date is.

There is a little over a month until Christmas, and I didn't start preparing till yesterday. I am trying to cut back on money I spend on presents this year because I have to pay off school and such. So for the people who will appreciate it, I am going to be making them a drawing. Not sure if I want to edit them on the computer or watercolor them yet, but either way, this adds quite a bit of work. Explaining my freak out of Christmas only being in a month.

Anyway, for Christmas cards I decided to draw a couple different designs and print out a bunch of them. I also bought a pack of cards (from Carlton, where I work) because they are soo beautiful.

Bought cards.

Nice Card. A little girl hugging a reindeer.

Funny card. (this card will say, "He sees you when you're sleeping."

Creepy hey? heheheh!)

I am very excited for Christmas this year! Gotta start working on all my cards/drawings now though, so I won't go crazy and have to make 10 drawings in a day later on.

Here is a couple drawings for another card.

Phillippe (Beauty and the Beast)

Phil (Hercules)

P.s. I am watching Bambi right now, and I love it soo much! Second favorite Disney movie of all time!

I love so very much that you make a point of doing the lesser known Disney movies and especially the non-lead characters like Phil and Phillippe! It's so refreshing.
I hope to keep seeing more and your beautiful gift further expand its greatness.

I love pine-cones! Your drawings are amazing and I'm sure the people receiving them will be proud to own them.

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd,
because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?""I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!
"The Walrus did beseech."
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stoodAnd waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"

"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--

Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."
"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would beA dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!
"The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!
"The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
