Pretty Little Purses

Everyone who is familiar with my websites knows how much I love Brooke Galardi of Bee Gee Bags. And I would buy one of each if I could.So in light of my new hobby – I decided that I would do the next best thing. I’d try to capture them on paper.

What do you think?

I also had a couple of failed attempts. I don’t hate them – but they’re not what I was going for, so they won’t see the light of day.

Anyway – these were fun to do, and now I almost (ALMOST) feel satisfied. Nothing really compares to the real thing, but in these hard financial times, we have to make due…

How about you? What do you substitute for your real life cravings?

P.S. Any tips for photography “how to” websites? I mean for people with regular point and shoot cameras. My pretty little pictures look rather sad in the images above…

So What do you Think?

I just posted something about this on The Big Piece of Cake, and thought it was well suited to this site as well.

I haven’t done anything in the way of artwork since school, but last week, out of the blue, decided to buy myself a set of pastels and give it a try.

Here is my first try (technically second – but you’ll have to see my other post for full details).

I selected this lovely image from Absolutely Beautiful Things:


And then tried to capture it on paper:


Not too shabby for a first attempt… Of course in light of the caliber of my creations from 20 years ago, it probably won’t get much better than this. I’m not a real artist – but it sure is fun!

How about you? Do you play artist, poet or musician – just for fun?
