Hi everyone, if you saw my
last post you will have heard about my new journal that I have started. I decided that I wanted to keep a journal for my lovely big eyed ladies so that I could keep track of ideas and try new things but to also have a finished book at the end. Normally my books are filled with all sorts of idea for projects, sketches and some paintings. I wanted to start a journal specifically for big eye ladies and to have some sort of consistency for my work. So this week I've been super inspired and painted a few lovelies. I posted my red lady in my last post and today I wanted to share the others.
First up was this naughty looking cutie........
I'm trying to explore different expressions.....
I made my red lady into a very cute wooden tile pendant and plan on doing the same with these cropped versions of the newest ladies so stay tuned!
It is our last day of the school holidays and after this weekend the boys are back at school. It's been nice having them home but we're all ready to get back into our routine now! Hopefully I'll be able to spend a bit more time catching up with my blog friends :0) Looking forward to seeing what you've all been up to this week!

Love your big eyed girls!!!Happy PPF!
Your LADIES are charming but I do NOT trust that first one! I like the way the second piece bleeds over to the second page. Very creative presentation! LOL! HAPPY PPF!
I am LOVING your ladies, and also the idea of an art journal just for them- how FUN! And I think it's so cool that you can use them in your other art- they'd make great cards too!
PPF Hugs!

Hi Nicola, isn't it funny that just as our children over here are having their last day of school today, yours are getting ready to go back! I think it's a great idea to keep all your ladies together in one book. I need to do something like this, I tend to put everything I come across plus random drawings, all in the same sketchbook!

Great way of tracking ideas and techniques! Have fun with them and enjoy your "me" time:)
Your big eyes ladies are so cute - I love the expression on the first girl's face - like butter wouldn't melt!
Where do you live that your kids are going back to school already? In Northern Ireland the finish at the end of June and don't go back to the first week in September!
Explore new expressions is always rewarding to you has been good. Regards
Wonderful girls! And great idea. I started a journal for faces too - so far they are just pencil sketches but I may have to follow your lead and try paint at some point....
Fabulous faces!!
What a terrific idea to keep a journal just for these ladies. They are really great. Love their expressions.

Your big-eyed girls are lovely and I think it's a great idea to keep a journal. Happy PPF. Hugs
Cute, cute! Isn't it amazing how the smallest change in a line or a shadow changes the expression? Can't wait to see your tile pendants! Happy PPF

My little one is about to start school in a few weeks for the first time, I don't know what I'll do with myself at first! Mixed emotions going on here...

I think that is a great idea- to keep all you "big eyed" cuties in one book. At the end it will be so fun to go back through and look at all of them. Looking forward to seeing some more. :)
LOVE THEM...eyes and hair are great and expressive.
cheers, dana
Love your girls and your journal idea. I still have to start my journal that I bought several months ago. I just seem to get too busy.
Such wonderful big-eyed ladies (and how great to have them all in one place)! I think the different expressions are great... I like the naughty one :)
