Madison's Valentine's Day Card

Not the greatest drawing in the world but I kind of like the idea. You know we love elephants. That's her (Madison) being held up to see the balloon a little closer. Hope she likes it!

Christmas Card for Madison

Madison's Christmas Card
Originally uploaded by Madison Avenue
I saw an old vintage postcard of a little girl dressed in a snow suit holding a stocking full of gifts and a poinsettia.

It just struck me that Madison would look adorable in such an outfit. So I was lucky to find a picture of her that I could use. I just drew on the little snow suit around her picture. I put white glitter on the "fur" parts, gold glitter glue on the suit and clear glitter glue on her cap. I also added a few glitter snow drops.

Do you think she will like it? I am hoping to mail Christmas cards the first of next week. Do you still send Christmas
cards?

Christmas Kitty Card

Here is a Christmas card I drew in pencil. I drew this from a photo.
Obivously, it's going to someone who loves cats. I am not sure I am 100% finished with this card. I'm thinking of adding a little something to the white "fur" on the hat just to make the white stand out more and look more...furrier...what do you think?

12/12/08 Update: I did add a little clear glitter glue to the fur on the hat and the pom pom. It was just the touch it needed. Now it looks more Christmasy.

Madison's Halloween Card

I have never claimed to be an artist but I enjoy drawing. This is a card I drew for Madison for Halloween. It is a loose (very loose) depiction of her in her costume. This was the inspiration for the drawing. Can you see the little bit of tulle I added - just to give dimension.
I put it in the mail yesterday so I am hoping she gets it today because today is Halloween.
Happy Halloween, my little princess fairy butterly!

Drawing in Ink and Colored Pencil

I drew this last year. It's from one of my children's books but I can't remember which one. I love the vintage pictures in the book and this little boy out for a day of adventure. Too bad it had to rain. I love his little puppet and toy horse on wheels.
(Update: It was from "Mother Goose Tales for Children")
