I was so excited to receive the goodies from my art trade with Cameron from Paint Myself Pretty! I got these two gorgeous journals which she embellished with her beautiful prints, ribbons, and other lovely things.
I just love these two images, aren't they stunning? I love how she circles certain words in the book text to make a new message.
She was also sweet enough to throw in two cards and 3 handmade tags! So generous, thank you Cameron!! You should check out her boutique here, her artwork is truly amazing!
I also wanted to show you my first attempt at drawing with ink. I got an artists' pen a little while back but have been a little intimidated to use it. But I was looking through one of my fairytale books and came across some of the incredibly ornate illustrations of Harry Clarke, and was inspired to give it a try!
It took a while to fill in all the detail, but it was fun :) I will try to do another one soon. I may put this one into my shop tomorrow.
I hope you are having a wonderful day, and I'll see you soon! Thank you again Cameron for the fabulous trade!! :)
