I normally don't put my photography on my blog (aside from craft photos), but Hannah over at Aspire is having a photo challenge: Falling in Love with Autumn.

TEASER! This has got something to do with the news I mentioned in my last post. If you look at my header, you'll see that the fairy is a handdrawn sketch that I scanned in and slapped some Paint Shop effects on.

I used a random assortment of rings, all quite munchkin-ier than the rings I used for the Truly Captured Marble. The rings were much smaller, which let...
I made these graphics for my Masquerade party! I used the amazing Adobe Illustrator CS5 software. It all began as a pen and ink sketch of two mask. I then scanned in the page from my sketchbook. After a few hours of tinkering around and learning the software, I finished it. Fully vectorized, colorized graphics! *Please note that I am keeping the graphics...
