Still Life numero 3

This is my latest still life drawing with charcoal. My favorite part was the left side of the drawing. The seashell turned out quite nicely :) The tall glass jar on the right proved to be quite the challenge.

Glass Drawing

This is my first time drawing glass with charcoal. It proved to be very difficult since glass, as you know, is transparent. But not the crystal clear transparent. It distorts whatever goes through it. It took me a while, but I am rather proud of the way this turned out. :)

More Charcoal

This drawing is of a metallic fabric. This was my first attempt of drawing cloth with charcoal. There was a still life with multiple fabrics draped and tied over some sort of wooden stand. This metallic cloth, that was wrapped around one of the wooden poles grabbed my attention and I decided to draw that one specific cloth.

Wedding Ball

Here is something I made today for my upcoming wedding! All it took was a foam ball, paper flowers, and ball point push pins! I am going to tie a ribbon on them and hang them on aisle end chairs! Hope the rest of them turn out as good as this one!

Save the Date Card Ideas

Since Christian and I recently got engaged it's time for SAVE THE DATE CARDS! :) I am wanting to save as much money as I can, so I decided to make the cards myself :) Here are 3 ideas I came up with. Each are unique and could possibly work. Please give me your comments on the good, the bad, and what you think I could possibly change :)

 For this particular one (the one above), on my computer the background is a little darker. I thought the flowers were a nice touch.

 This is the only idea that resembles the theme for the wedding. On my computer, the right color is a dark antique red, rather than a maroon.

On this one, I thought in each envelope, I could also put a photo of Christian and I in it. That way people can frame it, or put on their fridge, or whatever. But it may end up costing more money for printing.

Engagement Photos

As many of you know, I recently got engaged to the most amazing guy! And last Saturday we got our Engagement photos taken by Grant Brummett, so I just had to post them :) Here they are!

Wedding Shower

Today was my sister's wedding shower! It went really well and the decorations ended up looking great! Here is one of the tables that were decorated! With some of the food for the guests on the table! The food was from Chick-fil-a! yum!!!!
