First Sketch in 5 Months...

I finally found the time to sketch after almost 5 months. I can't believe it's it's been that long since I've picked up a pencil...
I call this "In a Mother's Arms"; it's a simple pencil sketch with a bit of colored pencil. It's inspired by what it feels like to be a new mother and to hold your child in your arms for the very first time.

Calendar for the Young 'uns

Here's a great calendar idea I fished up while wandering around the world wide web the other day, a wonderful way to teach small children not only the seasons but the months as well. A traditional calendar means nothing to the little ones, but this one helps them see not only all the months at once, but catergorizes them by season, making it even easier to learn them. The trees give a great visual. I did this entire piece out of foamcore for the base, with fleece and felt glued on and the words written in puffy fabric paints. You can change the months around depending on where you live to customize it for yourself.
