Christmas Neck Warmer



I knit headbands that double as neck warmers for my best friends this past Christmas. Afterwards I found wooden buttons, sanded them down and painted each of their cats (or in Meg’s case, an owl) on them.

The pattern is available here for free if anyone’s interested. :)

Choose A Cat, Draw A Girl


Drawn for the “Choose A Cat, Draw A Girl” challenge by James Harvey. Despite being over a month late for the actual submission, I thought the idea was too fun to pass up.

Fashion


I seem to have an addiction to buying cute imported planners (as well as accessories for them like pens, stickers and stamps). There’s something about neatly and adorably! writing my thoughts down that feels so good.

That being said, I ran across a really neat Korean online store the other day that is full of fun photos for their merchandise. It made me want to doodle a bunch of girls in quirky clothing (as if that’s any different from what I normally enjoy drawing).

Staal and Malkin


I miss Staal. :( After being out while recovering from a foot injury, he finally returns to practice and fractured his hand. Poor Jordan… what rotten luck. I hope he knows how much us P-burgh fans are missing him.

Mosaic Character Tiles


I took a Mosaic and Tilemaking class over the summer and it was a ton of fun. I ended up making three 3” by 3” tiles featuring little characters, as well as a Mixed Cats one I did on the first day while getting the feel of the process (and seeing if I could actually mosaic tiles that small!).

From the top left, clockwise: a grey kitty stretching like my Rylee, Mr. Butters (by boyfriend's cat), the Mixed Cats one I did on the first day, and a bunny with a balloon. I was so nervous I wouldn’t be able to grout them correctly because of how small they are, but I think it worked out well.

Snow White and Rose Red


Just a thumbnail color study page from my sketchbook (because they crack me up for some reason.)
