Music and Melody

I finished this drawing some time ago but am only blogging about it now. I specifically chose this photo to draw because it represents everything I love about music… despite my inability to play either of the two instruments, or read sheet music.

Click on the thumbnail to view, there’s also a WIP.

But on the upside, I am really glad it’s finished. This means I can start something new instead of completing unfinished work.

Like this bookmark that I made soon after the one I made for the OWOH Giveaway:

A Bit of India

It’s a mixed media collage of sorts; I layered Indian paper and card stock, fabric, and paint. I didn’t plan on the gold sequins or embroidery thread wrap, it just happened.

Believe it or not, the final version of this bookmark actually has more shiny gold stuff and fabric layers on it, to go with the over all theme.

And something for fun…
