    Here’s a new girl I’m working on… That’s all I can show you for now.  I’ve got several things in the works though – it’s been a very productive weekend so far. In other news…it finally snowed today!  Personally, I was hoping it would hold out until December to come down.  But I must admit

  • Whoooooo

    One of these days, I’ll be able to draw a decent owl.  In the meantime, I thought this guy came out ok. šŸ™‚ In addition to owl practice, I also made some Christmas cards that will be in the shop sometime today.  They’re available now, as is the "winter night" version.
