How to use this Page

Lovely. And the background has so much character.

Szia Írisz!
A teával való áztatás miért jobb, mint ha vízfestékkel alapoznád le a papírt? Másképp viselkedik, ha utána még ráfestesz?

teljesen más állaga lesz a papírnak és ad neki egy olyan texturát, amit vízfestékkel nehezebb elérni, más a hangulata, plusz ezt a színt nem kell kikeverni a tea elintéz mindent :))

És még illatos is lesz... (?) :o)
Köszi, így világos.

Lovely and fun!

Lovely!

What, can you use tea to paint with? Sorry, I do not paint myself so I'm sort of ignorant... Lovely colour, does it last?

I love the colors... and you tea-stained paper. What a fun interpretation of the topic, too!

I love this! It looks just like my wardrobe, bursting at the seams :)

Lovely - you have a very loose, unique style, I am envious of your spontaneity!

This is great! Kinda reminds me of my closet.

So disheveled it makes me wonder if there is a little girl hiding inside

hahaha.. your mermaid make me laugh. I love it Zari. It makes me less stressful. ;)

¿Cómo te está yendo todo? Espero sinceramente que muy muy bien.. Por aquí en España andamos con mucho calor en la capital... Verano pleno.

Tus lindas ilustraciones siguen teniendo el mismo encanto de siempre... Me alegra volver a visitarte cuando puedo, tras mis últias largas ausencias de internet. Desde luego, espero que nunca dejes tu ilusión por dibujar, y que algún día te animes a moverlas para verlas publicadas, eso sería maravilloso.

Por cierto, mil gracias por acordarte de mí para una nuevo nominación como vi más abajo, me llena de alegría!!!

Vos si que no perdéis el tiempo, mijita :O

Te quedó espectacular. Me encanta el osito XD

I love it! and sneeky skiving to :)

The colors have a 1970's feel to them. Lovely illustration.

I agree with Jenn, and those colors really work for me! Nice work. How did you do it?

Me encantan los colores, pero no puedo evitar ver la tristeza en sus ojitos.
Te mando un beso gordo para que te pongas mejor!!!!
(^v^)

ah, this is a charming piece!

Awesome colrs and style! Your work is SO wonderful, Zari... I just LOVE seeing the stuff you post. =)

I love it ♥

I like this illustration and the melancholic look of this cute character!

Awwwww . . . love his sweet, droopy face.

Wow! such wonderful sketches and love how you did the second version in your style!

These are charming and wonderful! Thank you for sharing them!Your first two are realistic and then the other is more playful. Fun.

Brilliant!!.. i agree with jc. I love how you make it into your own style. :)

¡Me e-n-c-a-n-t-a! Vuelvo y te repito que cuando uno creía que habías logrado el punto máximo de la belleza y el estilo en tus ilustraciones, levantas la barra (aún) más.

Chama, te admito muchísimo... me encanta lo que haces.

Besito maracucho.

Ay, que lindo, que lindo, que lindo!!! Sabes que son mis preferidos!!! ;)

Beso pajarito (^v^)

These are so wonderfully done and I agree with the comments on the second version, so clever to do them in your own style.

So pretty! I love how you transformed them and made them different and your own!

wow, I love the lines and curves you used in drawing the picture of the hummingbird, flower, and bees. Really good stuff!

Great sketches and love that you included the bees. I just discovered that hummingbirds do not mind bees at all, but something tells me the reverse is not true. Great job!

O this is so beautiful !! And I love the angry little faces of the bees !:):)

The sketch is very nicely done, the illo funny!

Hola Zari :-)!! Muchisimas gracias ;-) Tienes un blog lindiiiiisimo con unos trabajos super bonitos, me encanta tu variedad y tu coloreado, enhorabuena!!! Muchisimos besos!!!

Estoy alucinando ahora mismo: le has pillado el punto al color, y el cambio del osito a la abeja me ha sorprendido tambien... Felicidades.

Saludo;)

Wonderful sketches! Great lines and movement, super to see a different style :)

Hiciste un estudio preciosísimo con estos pajaritos hasta encontrar tu propia forma.
Me saco el sombrero amiga, y te repito que me encanta el rumbo que estás tomando!
A ver, voy a aclarar, no es que sea mejor que lo que venías haciendo, es diferente, estás ampliando tu manera de expresarte, y en todas sos GENIAL!!!!!

Ha Zari, thanks for your kind comments on my work at Art Monday.

I thought I'd come see your blog and it is truly amazing - so much so that I've added a link from my own blog.

This is a great picture. I especially like the cartoon version with the bright background and outline really making it jump. Well done.

You've got some fantastic work here, and show a great range of applicable styles. I'm sure you should have no trouble finding work as a childrens book illustrator. If you're interested I can send you the contact details of a publisher here in Adelaide, Australia who does children's books.

Con lo de "del osito a la abeja" me refiero a que casi siempre nos deleitabas con un osito y esta vez has decidido dibujar una colorista abejilla, me gusta.

Saludo;)

Your work is beautiful! I love the contrast between the two versions... the bottom one is so joyful and summery.

carla

wow, such a lovely bird drawing...
Great line works (as always!)
Beautiful Zari!

Beautiful work zari. I love the smiling bird, so cute.

Zari...
Thanks for stopping by...I love the outline form of Zappy!! and the way you have given yourself permission to do all the wonderful things that dance in your head!! Best wishes for a wonderfully creative New Year on this 7th day of it!!

What a neat doodle! I especially like Zappy as an artist with his french beret. So cute!

Wow I love all the different lines and shapes here - I like the "busy" look of this illustration. It works so well against the simple colours used.

Wow looks like you have a lot on your list of things to do for 08'! Very cute though.

What a creative way to do resolutions. Love it!

zari, I LOVE this resolution illo! I have yet to settle down and write mine. All the best to you in 2008!

P.S.- my book is on my way to you, I sent it this week (sorry for the delay) hopefully it will get there soon :-)

Your illustrations are charming. I love the way that your characters interact with their surroundings. It's as if they are sharing a secret.

Beautiful caracters and wonderful funds. A luxury your blog, I am going to visit followed.

Regards.

Great work.

lovely :)

I use photoshop in a similar way sometimes

A very fun image you created!

I love the image you doodled! I hear you on the photoshop issue. katy

While you was making a phone call you draw this?!, very pretty!
Greetz from Holland

Hi Irisz,

I've been looking at the illustrations in your blog. I love your style. :-)

All the best, Ana

I wish I had that much control in photoshop. Great job.

Is this sweet. Lovely birds. Its so amazing.

these are adorable and what a great technique! Can you paint with tea? (I don't drink much coffee!).

ohhh, i just love these! what wonderful illustrations. you are so talented. :)
www.sperlygirl.wordpress.com

How clever! Nicely done!

I have a picture that I painted with tea. Soon I'll write a post about painting with tea, it looks great!

great illustration!

I'm just finding out all the stuff one can do with art - This is so neat.

I'm new to IMT - having fun visiting everyones blog to see their art.

Coffee, really? The only coffee that ever made onto my page was unintentionally spilt... But this is great and it appears all very intentional. You’re so talented.

Wonderful idea and great effect - I like it. Will have to give it a go.

This is adorable. I HAVE to try coffee!

I love that you used coffee and made such sweet birds. katy

Oh my gosh! So beautiful, and messy fun to work with coffee. Inspiring!

They are gorgious! All of them! But the pig – such a sweet smile :)

Lovely as always! I especially like the bear, penguin and elephant.

Beautiful! My favorites are the cat and the penguin.

~Gina

Each one has so much personality! I get the sense that their cards aren't going to be able to hold them in any longer. Well done. kt

That's the best penguin ever!

Sweet..Adorable..and Fun!!

Beautiful, Irisz! Every one of them!

Very beautiful.
Greetz from Holland

I'm glad that you like it, and most of you have favorite characters!
Thanks a lot!!

Wooo! I would love to have one! Its adorable. :)))

love them all!!!

http://1girlshow.blogspot.com

very cute, my favourite is Mr. Pig, but Mr. Elephant too ... and M...

PhotoShop is great to play with! I love the background you added.

I love this character :)

Oh what fun!... I love it...

Oh, oh...
I have photoshop envy...

;-)

Beautiful artwork.

:-)

very cute

Yup, I agree with you. It is fun to play around photoshop. I draw and scan it. I do my illustration mostly in photoshop as for me it is easy to choose any colors and add textures of your own. :)

Absolutely DELIGHTFUL!

Absolutely charming!

the scenes you create always make me want to walk right into them.

As always > stunning !!

Yes ps is fun for playing. I like the background you put in.

Wow, your blog is just so beautiful and filled with inspiration! Love it!

Rachna Gilmore’s interview really struck a chord with me. Like her I was an avid reader and fell in love with the character of Jo in Little Women, and read it repeatedly. I too had a desire to write, but knew that it would be frowned upon as being impractical. My father was an engineer, and because I too had an aptitude for math and science was steered to study engineering. I did so, until my senior year, when I changed my major. Also like Ms. Gilmore, I’ve been reluctant to write for all the reasons she listed,”fear of failure, inertia and procrastination.” Moreover, I like the approach she has to her work. She says that people generally associate tedium with the words writing and work, and frivolty with play. Therefore, she calls what she does a mixture of the two called “plark.” She says that this word better conveys both the pleasure, and the very real amount of effort needed to get it written, edited and published. The similarities did not end there. For years I’ve been criticized for reading children’s books and watching children’s programs. I really enjoy it, and thought I was the only one. It was one of the reasons I went into education. I felt that education was one place that my avid interest in children would fit. I also thought it would be a great place to do quasi-research. How better to learn about young people than to work with them all day every day? Gilmore was able to do this through using her two daughters as a sounding board for her ideas. The final thing that I found most interesting was the fact that she has written a very broad spectrum of books, from early readers to adult novels. I too, I must admit, was of a mindset that writing children’s books must be easier than writing adult books. I have to say that hearing her say that it is simply different and that good writing is good writing was mind blowing. I am no longer operating under the false assumption that because books are written for younger audiences that they are therefore easier to write. I’d liken it to what I thought before commencing teaching. I’d thought that teaching elementary school was easier than teaching high school. Well, I am a high school math teacher, and it is anything but easy. And, high school is supposed to be comprised of the most mature children! I can only imagine the wherewithal it must take to teach younger students. Yes, Ms. Gilmore’s interview certainly opened my eyes to a great many things. It was both interesting and enjoyable.
