to get a new tattoo!!!!! i don't have the cash yet to get one so i am saving every bit i can and i think for christmas i will be buying myself a christmas tattoo! eep!
now, i have been contemplating what to get for some time... ever since my last tattoo of my daisy's i wanted to get more, it is that addicting!
right after i got them tattooed, a friend of mine wanted me to draw her another tattoo and i was more then thrilled do to it. here is what i drew her. i feel in love with it and really liked how it came out. it got my mind turning on what i wanted to get next....
i love my little harvey oh so much so i knew i wanted another bird. for a while i had been drawing a quail in the style of day of the dead but just wasn't crazy about how it was coming out so i set that idea aside.
i then started doodling lazy eyed susans which i just love. they remind me of my mom as we loved planting them in my little section of the garden when i was little but for some reason i haven't gone back to them. i really like them but think i need to explore that idea further and that will maybe be the tattoo i get after this one!
after the craft fair on saturday, i sat in front of the computer and searched for images of icelandic poppies and other poppies that are similar. i already have california poppies on my right shoulder and i just love all types of poppies and they make me so happy that i wanted to get more of them. while drawing the mister cuddled up right next to me and really liked the drawing so far which always makes me really happy.

| sorry about the quality, taking a picture of pencil is hard |
i look up to the mister so much when it comes to art. he is beyond fantastic and i admire his style and his work so much that his approval of my work makes me feel like i can conquer the world, silly i know but it is so true. anyways, he suggested a quail again and i still do love them so much. growing up in the sticks of northern california i was constantly surrounded by them and adored the little family unit scuttling across out dirt road all lined up in a row. i found an image and started at it....

and i love it already. i ran out of room but that is okay. i can redraw it on a bigger paper and finish her up and figure out the placement of both the poppies and quail. i love it because i am a true californian lady, born and breed :)
now just to figure out where this sucker is gonna go! most likely on my left arm but i have to finish it all up and then have the mister draw it on me to make sure i love it.
i have a few other drawings i have done for other ladies and will be sharing those now and then, i think i just needed too take this leap and swho you my work first, i am a bit nervous. i love getting emails from lovely ladies wanting me to sketch them a tattoo! don't be shy! hehe
oh, i just opened up a
