Happy Holidays!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their respective holidays!!  I know I did and I am proud to say that out of the 24 projects I had lined up since the beginning of October I got 22 done.  So I will post as many projects as I can.

First off, my big project for my sister, was a drawing of Kris from the K pop group Exo.  This is the biggest drawing I have ever done and It was all done in colored pencil.

Here it is all matted and framed!!!  I am quite proud of this piece as it is my first ever colored portrait.  So hopefully there will be more of them in the near future!

Next is a couple of burned picture frames.

 I had a lot of fun with those!!! 

Next is the wolf wood burning I did.
And the last on for today is another large colored pencil drawing.
so this was the big commission that I was working on and could not post until after christmas.
I was asked to draw a girl and her boy friend as Link and Zelda.  I tried to incorporate as many elements from the different games as I could.  
Well that is is it for now I will post more tomorrow.

It's Getting Closer to Christmas

Well we are finally in the month of December....  This month is the bane of my existence, it is the time of year where I am blamed multiple times a week how I ruined some kids Christmas and  how I am a terrible person.  Retail is awful, so I have lost all that joy that the holiday should bring.  So I finished a commission and got it framed and ready to go... now back to my christmas gifts that I am making.  I have a couple that I would like to share with you!!!!
so this is a picture frame I decorated for a lady at work who I got in our gift exchange.  I put the name of her boys on there via woodburning!!!  It was a great deal of fun to do!!!!!
I also have gotten into the dying of fabrics as well!!!  so here are a few pictures of my dyeing process and the type of dye I use.
So I use Rite dye and I took some plain white bandana's and dyed them different colors.  I have a couple red ones a pink, orange, black, and two different purples.   I let them dry and then iron on different things depending on the person I am making them for.  this is one I just finished the other day.
This friend really likes pokemon so I did one of the pokemon from y in the corner and in the top I have the trainer and the logo in the corner diagonal from it. 
Having so much fun.  Plan to do one for myself ones everything else is all said and done!!!

Happy thursday!!!
