My family and I just recently got back from a 6 day camping trip in Interlochen Michigan.  It was fabulous.  We went paddle boarding, sightseeing, and made delicious, (sometimes burnt) campfire food.  While there I tried to draw and work on projects but it is a little difficult when you are in vacation mode.

I did start working on this flamingo.  I decided to make some fun illustrations to put on notecards and this is the first in the series.  I used gel pens to draw this lovely lady.  Gel pens are great because when they are wet you can kind of paint and blend the colors together.

In other news, my best friend knows me and loves me, and sent me this book.  I received this in the mail today and had to get started on it right away!  It’s so much fun!!  I’m looking forward to doodling in this book a lot.

Thanks for stopping by.
