New Banner!!!

I just drew this new banner for my blog. I really like it.

It is an little brown owl, watering a garden of beans, and one of them is 'the magical one'.

I got the idea for this while running this morning, and thinking about what I wanted for a new banner, my mom's garden and my love of owls.

What do you think?

The one below is my old one.

I also just drew a banner for my older sister's blog My Baloney, be sure to stop by and tell her what you think.

Kaitlyn introduced me to She and Him recently and it is love! I already really loved Zooey Deschanel and it makes sense that I would like her music.

Also I wish that I could have her entire wardrobe and hairstyles...
I have been listening to this song, so I thought I would share.

Little Hedgehog Print

This is another new print I just added to the shop! This little hedgehog is one of my favorite's that I have done in a long time... I love his little dreamy look.

As for the inchworm...when I was little I was literally obsessed with inchworms and caterpillars. I would hunt them out and love the feel of them crawling on my skin. I wanted to be the size of them and explore the inner workings of trees and see how tall grass would look at that size. I would fill pages of drawings with them and even once had an inchworm inspired cake. This little inchworm is much like the ones I used to imagine with his outrageous little boots and rainbow colored body, he almost seems to walk out of my childhood dreams.

The print measures 8 1/2 by 11 inches with a small white border for framing.
Drawing was done in black ink and then colored in with colored pencils.
