The background in this mixed media piece was created by cropping & manipulating this photo by Crystl in the Creative Commons on Flickr.I created the following pieces with Creative Tuesday in mind. Guess what the theme is... Birthday!!! (The serendipity continues.)
Balloons (in stages)
A Birthday Banner
And a little something I'm working on for The Sketchbook Project cupcake line drawings for this week's "dessert" theme over at Illustration Friday. (Isn't it funny how things work out?!?)
This week I celebrated my birthday and even though I wasn't able to spend very much time in the studio, I did manage to play with color, texture & pattern in my sketchbook.
What would a birthday be without cake? Well, I created
Make sure you take some time to stop by Sophia's blog to check out more Sunday Sketches. Better yet, why not play along and show us what you've been working on this week!
Happy Birthday!! These are all just beautiful! That is great that the themes lined right up with your b-day! :) I just love the way that you used black paper for the balloon drawing, it adds such depth. They are all wonderful :) ~Lauren
