IF Music

Illustration Fridays topic is Music. Here is my first guitar with music all around. I love the sound of an acoustic guitar being played...when played well, of course. ;-)

re you a large fan of drop caps? Well, I have good news for you and it's called Daily Drop Cap.com. The Daily Drop Cap is an ongoing project by typographer and illustrator Jessica Hische. Each day (or at least each WORK day), a new hand-crafted decorative initial cap will be posted for your enjoyment and for the beautification of blog posts everywhere. To use a Daily Drop Cap on your site or blog, follow the instructions in each post and read about the usage limitations. Be sure and check out her website and see her great work.

Artist C.W. Roelle LO VE

Ever had an artist that you just went nuts for? Well, one of my all time favorite artists is CW Roelle. I LOVE his wire work. I have messed with wire and know first hand how hard it is to work with. Maybe that's why I admire his work so much.

"Still Life In The Kitchen"

I mean really check out the detail in the border of this piece. How long do you think it took?

"Frog and Toad"

"Rowhouses"

"Dancers #3"

He did a series of two hundred wire cheese sculptures not long ago and now at Tiny Showcase you can get a print with a sampling from the two hundred cheese sculptures. You can see all the cheese in his Flickr portfolio.

My Seasonal Tree

I finally took pictures of my little seasonal tree. I started with a box of Fall goodies I picked up from a store here and there...foam pumpkins, acorns, acorn bells, felt leaves, wood leaves, turkeys, buttons and cinnamon sticks. I used most of the items and made a garland with hemp.

Look at these great buttons I found ...so cute!

I made these leaves with leftover felt. They were really easy to make! Just cut out your leaf and sew it around the edge and down the middle. Then I used a large needle and strung the hemp through the leaf and tied a cinnamon stick.
