sassy squid

i actually made this the other day, but my camera ran out of batt's before i could get a good picture (and i promise i'll hook up my scanner soon and replace all these terrible photos, i just don't have any place to put it right now!)

so without further adieu:


this little guy was supposed to be just a sketch to get me pumped for another work in progress (involving more banners!!!) but he became a full drawing. its much more anatomically correct than i'm used to, but i think i like him that way. sass and all.


also, i have some sewing stuff to post as soon as i photograph them. it may only be one or two items but hopefully it'll be worth your while.

also, also, i really want to make the hoodie capelet that char posted before this using my black hoodie that has faux fur on the rim of the hood, i'm just trying to figure out what to use as trim on the hem. i really don't want to buy more of the faux fur, but i think thats the only way it will look good. suggestions?

the sketch on the right was the prequel.
it reads "i'm just a huge manatee" surprisingly, it took me a long time to get the manatee to be THAT fat.
(sorry for the shadow but i was trying to get a good photograph of it.)






This was my secret project for charl dubbed "Saint Manatee." water color on construction paper.

Tattoo

I should probably really get a manatee tattoo. I mean, it's about time.

love,

jasmine manatee girl

so i'm working on this pretty good project, but its going to have to remain a secret for a while. nevertheless, here is a manatee...with a hat. if you look really close (but not too close), you can see a hint as to what the secret project will be.

just a quick 30 minute sketch:



i should probably invest some time into actually hooking up my scanner again (and this manatee should invest some time into shaving before hat parties)

nautical themed

i'm currently working on a few new surprises that i can't wait to post but in the mean time, here are some older creations following a nautical theme. (the new surprises will also be nautical themed)

squid done in white marker paint and various purple crayons on my wall. (darker and more obvious in real life.)


a felt applique on a sweater of mine (its supposed to be an octopus with bubbles)



















a ginger bread cake baked by me and charlotte with homemade royal icing. clockwise: manatee, flower, squid, and jellyfish.

colored pencil and a page from an old book (possible to kill a mocking bird) on white paper.

hope you enjoyed,
