Illustration Friday - Momentum

Weeeeeeeeee!

Once I saw what the topic was for this week's IF, I thought of being a kid and all the ways you try to build up momentum and go fast and high, not matter at what cost your body had to pay.

I try to keep that spunky kid alive in me as I get older, I might not roll down a grassy hill at top speed, or let a friend spin me till I can't stand, or fly down a metal slide anymore, but I do like to feed that little hyper girl whenever possible, don't neglect the kid inside :) Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Craft Inc.

Another book that I recently picked up and am enjoying immensely - Craft Inc. I saw it on Print+Pattern and immediately knew it was something I should be reading. It's very motivating and informative on what it takes to make a business creating things you love to do. So I would definitely suggest this to anyone thinking about pursuing their own creative business venture. I am sooo glad I did. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Illustration Friday - Alphabets

B is for Birds and Bunnies :)

This was an illustration I did for a project that I ended up not using. But I still liked it and thought it would work for this weeks topic and I didn't want to miss posting this week. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Happy Friday!

I got a nice bundle of books today. Just in time for the long weekend. I am so excited to look through all of these. I have been spending so much time working on the computer lately that it will be nice to get on some sewing projects.

mm lots of new crafty books makes Kelly a happy girl.

You can get them at Amazon or your local bookshop. So far Crafter's companion has been very interesting - learning about other crafters and what makes them tick is very cool.

Illustration Friday - Visitors

These are my kind of visitors! I absolutely love watching all the birds come to my front yard bird feeder. When they don't come around for a bit and then start showing up it really cheers me up to see them visiting again.

I did this illustration for a custom made card that a friend asked me to do. I thought it was perfect for Illustration Friday.

Thanks for popping in. :) Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Illustration Friday - Captain

I had to resist the urge to draw a bowl of Captain Crunch – how boring would that have been! ha! I loved that cereal as a kid - mom didn't buy it too often. Even the abuse on the roof of my mouth never could take away the joy of the sugary deliciousness. So instead, here is Capn' Max enjoying a nice day from above and secretly thinking about having a bowl of Capn' Crunch. :) Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Congrats to Big Sister!

My sister got married this weekend to a very kind man. I wish them both the best. I wish I could've been there — at least to tell stories of how mean she was to me as kids! :) Love you Sandy!

Here is the card I made for them. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Illustration Friday - Emergency

Not my most developed piece, but I wanted to get something posted this week. It does make me smile and I can't help but make the sound in my head (and even outloud while I was drawing it). I hope you can hear the siren sound I was going for.

Thanks for visiting :) Tweet Follow @kellymedina

I'm back! 3 weeks of not posting for Illustration Friday.. good to have time and creative juices flowing again.
