little gardens
drawing my tattoo designs are one of my favorite things to draw. they make me so happy. a few weeks ago i started doodling some violets and i am pretty set on getting them as my next tattoo, my birthday perhaps? tom has expressed how much he loves my designs and that he would like to see more of them actually drawn out rather then just doodled.
i take his advise very seriously. as an artist i look up to him and respect his opinion. one of the things i love about our relationship is the ability to be able to bounce ideas off each other so while tom was at work i got inspired and got to drawing........ now, i am very unsure about it as i love everything i make, they are all pieces of me so i am attached to them all in a sentimental way so sometimes it is hard for me to step back and critique my own work. does that make sense?
when tom got home that night and looked at what i was making he was amazed and this really touched my heart. for someone whom i look up to artistically to admire my work is truly amazing and damn it, it FELT GOOD.
one of my goals (more of that on monday) for this year is to narrow down my crafts to things that make me happy and this is one of them. i want to be able to make things that make me happy as well as support my small little family. i still feel like i am trying to find what that is but i think the first step is making things that make me happy and that are truly me and this feels right! later that weekend i started another design of california poppies. i am using the same frame as my animal portraits and the frame will be a faux wood grain.

Lovely! Your tattoos are some of the most true-to-you that I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI really love the first one! i can really see it as a really boss tattoo :3 i personally love tattoos without bold lines, ones that looks like they melted onto your skin instead :3 pastelly and ethereal :3
ReplyDeleteAwwwh, so pretty! you're so talented :) they'd make a gorgeous tattoo design! xo

sweetie, that's wonderful to have such support, & of course Tom's right, your artwork is fantastic! I just love love love these flower designs (think the first one if my favourite). And you're so right that we need to find what makes us happy in our crafting. Wishing you a successful & peaceful 2012 honey xox
ReplyDeleteI think they turned out beautiful! It would make a great tattoo, for sure! My husband is always telling me the same thing...he would like to see more of my drawing turned into paintings. I just have so many ideas that I get sidetracked! lol

so pretty! i love violets because you almost never see them "in the wild", so when you do it makes them extra special. <3
ReplyDeleteI love you and Tom and think you're pretty much the coolest couple there is. Also, your painting is gorgeous! Keep it up, love!
ReplyDeleteI love that your hubby is so supportive of your work. It's so special to have a real partner in life.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the owl earrings with the scissors. Maybe once payday rolls around...
you put my artwork to shame. Are you using watercolors? Thats a medium I want to try out this year :)
ReplyDeleteForgot to say that I am loving the new header!
ReplyDeletethat's really beautiful. :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Your artwork is beautiful, CB! I love the first photo, because all of the flowers seem to blend so perfectly together. But then I love the bold black lines you added in the second photo. It makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteAnd the poppies are perfect!
xoxo, Allie
P.S. I love your new blog look!
Those violets are truly beautiful! Good job, girl. I'm the same way with Rhett. When he compliments me or gives me a suggestion, I take it very seriously because of how much I value him! I am looking forward to seeing more of your drawings :) You're a talented little lady!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! I designed a tattoo last year for my friend that she's getting done soon =) Your designs are just lovely x
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented lady! It is wonderful that you can exchange ideas. This is really beautiful so great you can design your own tatto! I really live the colors.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful, cb! But then again, all of your stuff is. I get paid this weekend, I can't wait to snag one of your prints. Time to decide which one, it's so hard!
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing lady. seriously. your flower drawings are so beautiful <3 <3 they make perfect tattoos!
ReplyDeletethey are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat totally makes sense, I think all artists have a hard time looking at their work objectively. Sometimes I feel like my work is just kind of blah and then when you show it to people and they are amazed and excited it's such an awesome feeling! :) Love the violets btw!
