Christmas Craft Fair.

Hey guys!

So the Christmas Craft Fair was today! It was lots of fun and I did sell quite a bit. I still have lots left over though so I'm putting it on Etsy. If any of you are interested go here

I only have a few up right now but I will be putting the rest of my stuff up. If you see something in the pictures you want, and I dont have them up, let me know and I will do so.

Anywho, here is some picures!

I sold both the Ariel Cel Art paintings, but if you want one I can make it!

Do you want to TURN IN TO A REAL MERMAID!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!!!

Get THE MERMAID PENDANT!!

The Mermaid Pendant.

Hello Everybody!

So for those of you who know me, know that I have a slight obsession with Mermaids..

Ariel especially. Really I would like to be her, so I do things to help people realize we are more alike. Such as dressing like her, doing my hair like her..

.. eating live fish..

Juuuust Kidding! I'm not that obsessed.

Anywho, I like to collect mermaid type things. A few weeks ago I was being distracted for hours online, when..

I came across this -

A mermaid pendant necklace that glows in the dark. A realization came over me.

I began thinking about how amazing life would be once I got this Mermaid Pendant. I may have gotten a little carried away..

Okay, maybe not that carried away, but I did order the necklace. It arrived last week. Much to my disapointment, I did not turn in to a real mermaid. However, it does in fact glow in the dark, and it is a gorgeous necklace!

A couple drawings I did at the mall the other day, and a couple figuring out my character look for the comic.

P.s. That guy there that I drew was insanely odd, though entertaining. He knew I was drawing him, and he liked it! Not only did he like it, but he kept looking over and blushing. Oh and he was picking his nose, a great subject really! Very entertaining afternoon!

If you have any ideas for a comic you would like me to make, please let me know.

Foxes and Frames!

I must update you all on the things I have been working on the last couple weeks. I have finished the Disney frame for the craft fair coming up!

The whole thing took me around twenty-three hours. Completely worth it!

The other week my friend and I carved pumpkins, I did scar. I took this picture today, after it had molded quite a bit (I know, sick!). When I can get the better picture I will post it.

Earlier today I did a study on fox's because I love them and want to draw them better!

I love fox's sooo much and will one day own one! But for now I need to settle for drawing them.

Here is a couple more sketches that I will use for Christmas cards. I'm not too sure if I want to use the puppy or not yet, but I will for sure use the mermaid and the fox (my two favorite things).

Poor little fox!

Is it just me or do the newly released versions of the Disney movies lack a certain something? They are too polished. I like the grainy and sketchy quality of the old ones!

P.s. I'm watching the Fox and the Hound at the moment!

Disney Cel Frame

One of the projects for the craft fair, that I am doing, is a Disney Frame. The outside is covered with Disney Characters, and inside there is room for a fairly large picture.

I have completed the drawing portion so far, and need to paint it. To paint it, I just turn over the acetate paper (clear sheet), and paint on the back.

(the pictures are not great, but heres a preview)

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.
