Wednesday's Sketchbook: Foo Dog (in Progress)

 Obviously I'm still mourning the loss of the pair of foo dogs that I left behind.
But, rather than pout in bed I'm using it as inspiration for a little art this week!
He's taking longer than I anticipated because of all the intricate detailing.
Can't believe it's Wednesday already!

Wednesday's Sketchbook: In Case You Missed It

Hi Loves! Just in case you missed my doodle last Wednesday, which I posted over at the lovely Landi's blog Freckled Confessions, I decided to share it here today.

The bar cart is one of my latest design obsessions. You might remember my vintage brass bar cart that I picked up this summer flea market hunting. Check out my post on that HERE for some amazing decor inspiration. I just finished spray painting it beautiful gold today (as it was fairly tarnished) and can't wait to start styling it!
I drew up my little bar cart with my dream accessories. Some I already own, like the decor books and the vintage crystal decanter (another flea market score), some I'm simply lusting after.

Either way, I've put together this little guide of how to achieve the look in your own place:

1. The Perfect Champagne (seen on most of the inspiration bar carts) - Veuve Cliquot
2. Pretty and fresh green limes
3. Coffee Table Books: Domino and Design Sponge at Home
4. Fresh cut peonies in pink
5. Fun striped paper straws
6. Inkblot Print by The Aestate on Etsy
7. Navy Ikat Bowl
8. A pretty glass wine decanter

Create an interesting vignette by incorporating non-alcohol related products such as art.
If you can't find a bar cart at the flea market (or afford one new..they can be a bit pricey) You can use a tray to achieve the same vibe.

Happy Wednesday!

Wednesday's Sketchbook: A Commissioned Project & Guest Post

Well guys, it's about darn time I share with you my first ever commissioned art project.
I was so thrilled and delighted when Landi of Freckled Confessions contacted me to do a custom doodle of her beautiful self for her new blog design.
After all, she'd never seen me draw a person before (and to be honest, I hadn't drawn a person in a very long time).
But I got straight to work and this is the version we decided on:

Want to see the real Landi for comparison? Well here you are:

Such a gorgeous and amazing girl! So happy to have met and connected with her through blogging.

Now a couple pics of the process and the evolution of the artwork:

Did I mention this was also my first time working with watercolours? 

Here are the three drafts all lined up for comparative purposes.

After Landi styled it for her 'About Me' page this is the final product:

 

 I love the look! I'm so happy and proud of the way it turned out!
If any of you have a custom doodle in mind, please don't be afraid to contact me!

Today, you can find me Guest Posting over at Freckled Confessions for Landi with a watercolor of a bar cart (one of my current obsessions). I hope you will all check it out HERE and show her some love!

I took a trip to the craft store to pick up some supplies! It's been awhile since I've worked with watercolors, but I'm excited to get experimenting with these! Maybe next week will be a Watercolor Wednesday instead of the usual Wednesday Doodle!
Also...

Picked up this GLITTER for an upcoming DIY project...I really hope it turns out and I can't wait to share it with all of you!
Have a lovely week :) xo
