CeeCee's Creations

sometimes i draw... images and video

inspiration can stike anytime, anywhere. the proof -- a tissue box.

that pretty butterfly resting on a flower ignited in me a desire to draw again. i used to do it until i got married; then i stopped. recently i've been craving it but i need a visual - a starting point.

so armed with my 3H staedtler lumograph pencil, i drew a flower and butterfly in a different style than what's on the box. i wanted to fill in my shapes using a repetitive mandala-inspired style. i recorded almost all the process on camera. to watch the video you can go to youtube here or watch from the window below.

 

and here's the finished card:

i'm so happy with out my drawing turned out. most importantly, i had a lot of fun making it. it just felt natural to me. almost like slipping into your favorite pair of slippers have a long hard day at work.

the image was first traced with a micron 03 pigment pen from sakura and then colored with copic markers. i also accented some details with a uni-ball signo white gen pen. as you see up here, i added a nice coat of crystal effects to emphasize the butterfly. he's so shiny!

i hope you enjoyed this different kind of post. i will make more of these very soon.

have a great monday! CeeCee

zentangle fun

hey all!

today, i wanted to make something different. something other than stamping. something more along the lines of drawing. inspired by a community i belong to called Wild Precious Studio, i made two zentagles, mooka style:

the idea behind mooka's is quite simple -- create pods from a continuous line. it looks more complicated than it actually is. i love doodling; it relaxes me. so i added a bit of doodling in between the pods.

here's another one:

this one was even more fun using a larger piece of paper. i started by scribbling one continuous line, intersecting at different places. i then used the intersections as a starting point for my pods.

just for giggles... enjoy! CeeCee
