Here's another spot illustration. It's done in gouache but I tried to retain the line more, I did this by building up thinner layers of gouache. Here's an interesting quote from Lisbeth Zwerger " I think pictures should be mysterious, because it makes you want to look at them again and again, to solve the riddle." ( from American Artist Watercolor magazine, Fall 2005)

This is something a little different I wanted to try. It's water colour and pencil on hand made paper with paper and thread collaged on. I was inspired by the work of Gretel Parker and Lisbeth Zwerger, I wanted to do something with more subtlety and a looser feel. The paper has a slight greenish tinge and is very absorbent, both things that I had to contend with to make the picture work. The title, Thimble Witch, comes from a book by Holly Black called Valiant.

Karen arranged to get the minivan 'wrapped,' which means it's covered with the Lemonade Mouth cover. We're thrilled with it!
Check out these shots:
So here we are with our lovely 'new' van! We can't wait to get going on this tour! Two days to go...! :-)
