New idea (Sort of)

So, I was thinking, while I'm in butterfly mode, how could I make a butterfly bookmark?

This is the sample I did on a scrap of watercolor paper.

Threw down some fun colors, dribbled some salt on it.  After it dried, scraped off the salt and painted a butterfly outline.  

What do you think?  Does it work?
 

Butterflies

The hummingbird and quail tiles have been doing so well at Botanica that I thought I would branch out and do other beasties.

My next favorite is butterflies, so I tried a few.  What do you think?

These are going to Botanica tomorrow.

 

28 and counting

I decided to add some seasonal bookmarks to the ones I have been making.

Here are the latest "bunny" bookmarks.  Have sold 28 so far!!!!!

They're at the Mesa Art Center co-op store, if you want one.  

They're having the Spark Festival there this week, which is geared toward creative arts for kids, so there's lots going on down there.  

How do you like them?

 

My first little bookmarks

I went ahead and cut up some not-so-successful watercolors.  Each one had a spot or two that had gone fairly well.  It was actually kind of fun to do.  It will be interesting to see the difference when I paint them "from scratch".  What'ya  think?  Will they sell?

Another satisfied customer

Giant sized pug is all done, client was pleased, and we say goodbye to the puppy and move on to the next thing.

I was just told that I can sell bookmarks at the Co-op and they do well there.  

I think I'm going to cut up some of my not-very-successful paintings and get some of those together.

Often people buy small when it's an impulse buy.

I'll post some pictures of some when they're done.
 

So, did you figure it out?

Not finished yet, but this little pug is for a girl who really loves pugs.

Should be pretty fun looking when it's done!
 

Can you guess?

Just got started on a new commission painting.

Can you guess what it is?
