1. Elf Mascot for a Girl Scout Camp

I just finished the line art of a little woodland elf girl for a girl scout camp in Tennessee. One of the camp leaders sent me a Facebook message and asked if I might be willing to create a picture of their new camp mascot -- a woodland elf! What fun -- of course elves and fairies are my favorite things to draw! And this was for such a good cause -- first, who can say no to a girl scout (I was one myself, though rather lackluster in my badge work...) and second, the camp leader wanted to use this little girl elf mascot as a friend for homesick campers and for campers who weren't getting any mail from home.

So along with her own little bug friend, our little elf friend will be handing out extra letters to little girl scout campers in need of some good cheer. Love it!

I'll be doing a full-color painting of her, too -- red hair (of course) and a leafy green skirt. Of course the ladybug will be, well, ladybug-colored. But she'd be fun for the campers to color, too!

Here she is, with letters in her mail pouch and with her mail pouch closed. A treat to do! (Maybe they'll send me some cookies as thanks -- Thin Mints, please!)
