MOLESKINE Love

Here's a just a few of my most recent creations from the previous weeks. 

I must say I've had a fountain of idea's lately....I blame Pinterest and music :) also the MOLESKINE helps.

I'm gonna tell you a little story before I share my latest works with you first though so get comfortable.

Once upon a time there lived a little girl who liked to draw (but wasn't very good at it)

she had a brother who was a missionary serving far away.

The brother was a very good artist and the little girl looked up to him and hoped she could be as good as him. Some time passed and the brother was back home and the little girl's birthday came up. 

He gave her two special gifts, one was a set of Prismacolor pencil colors and the other was a Moleskine brand sketchbook. The little girl loved the presents but was worried about wasting the pencil colors and the Moleskine space so as a result she didn't use them much...

Sooo a bunch of years passed and the little girl kept drawing until she wasn't such a little girl anymore and her artwork was much improved. 

At this point she remembered the Moleskine she'd tucked away so long ago (she'd already started using the pencil colors a lot before this) and she decided she was finally good enough to draw in it. 

So she pulled it from her closet and began drawing 

(but not before cutting out the few pictures I had drawn in it *if you've ever had or are planning on getting a Moleskine I wouldn't recommend doing what I just said I did because it kind hurts the spine....I'm really really harsh and critical of my old art I can't hardly stand looking at it*) 

Now I draw in my Moleskine all the time and I've discovered it's definitely the best sketchbook I've ever owned and Thanks to my brother who encouraged my drawing :) 

THE END 

(or maybe not so much the end.)

And now here the art!

  

So what are your thoughts, any favorites? 

Any idea's for future things I could draw :D 

I'd love the input 

1 Year!!!!!

That's right :) It's the 1 Year Anniversary of this blog!

I can't believe this blog has already made the one year mark...seems like just yesterday I, and a bunch of other girls, got together with the purpose of writing a book...but when that fell through I wasn't going to just dump this blog...nope I made it the exclusive site for my art so I could concentrate on other things on my other blog Poetic Meditations....

It makes me happy to see the other artists other than me on here..I hope we can have another great year too  Love you Guys :D 

Frozen Fan Art

Hello, again!  Today, I'm showing you all some Frozen fan art that Sarah and I did.  I mean, fan art based on the movie Frozen, not fan art...that's frozen.  That would be pretty weird.  Who would want to defrost a piece of paper, let alone freeze it?  Er, anyway...here they are!

This one is Sarah's.  I think she really did an awesome job drawing the characters!  She also did a great job drawing the logo. :)

My drawing.  For this one, I did Sven and Olaf. :)

So, those are all the drawings for now.  Hope you guys liked them!

Secret Worlds

In which we visit the secret places of our imagination

....

and meet the people who live there

She was soooo fun to draw!!

The title is pretty self explanatory 

Our First secret world :)

The second world...this one might get a small story it depends on how it pans out :) 

her name is Alley Roswell 

that particular picture was inspired by this one I did either last year or the year before that 

I think it was originally called, "Into the Book"

Let me ask you girls something..what do these two pictures make you think of when you look at them, what do you think each girl is thinking, and which one draws you in more? 

Whoever answers these questions in comments will make an appearance in the story with either their name or a name that they pick out as my way of saying thanks :) 

Please do answer :D 

Artistic Urges

Alright so here's all my latest pieces :D
*all of them are drawn by me and colored by Liz except for the ones marked (*)
which are done completely by me.

Sewing

As proposed by a friend, me and Growely's latest Challenge.....Sewing!

Mine

The Story is, This girls brother came in while she was sewing and asked if she'd like to go sledding with him, She said no, because she wanted to finish what she was doing first, so he promptly took it from her announcing that "He could do it faster" but he just made a mess of things which made her giggle....finally she relented  saying, she would go with him, though whether it was for pity of his terrible stitchery or worry over the destruction of her sampler I'll leave that for you to decide.  

Growly's 

The character in the picture is named Destiny :)

Thanks for reading, if you have any suggestions or requests please put them in comments....I love new challenges :)

Last Year Stuff (Unposted)

Remember last year when I started "Picture Post Week" and than it never really went from there. It was supposed to be posts (like stories) with art but I kinda just never thought of stuff that mixed with them, so they kinda drifted into just art posts (however somehow these never ever got posted...Until today!)

So without further ado the lost stuff

*Not sure if I posted this one or not?*

Based off of something My oldest sister Rachel did a long time ago (maybe I'll show ya sometime) 

Yeah a long long time ago when I first started writing I wrote this really terribly written story called "The Nurse of the Civil War" I thought I'd rewrite it and post it on my blog "Poetic Meditations" but that never happened.

A random Medieval Girl I drew.

I was really into Ballet growing up and wanted to take lessons so badly but sadly that never happened (people always said I was built more for gymnastics *that didn't happen either thankfully* they never knew how the thought of flipping on a balance beam and the like terrified me!)

Another Story that wasn't to be....

FACT:  This particular piece was a second attempt (because I didn't like how two of the girls turned out!) but I really liked the girl in the middle so I kept her....if you look closely you'll see she isn't quite center with the rest of the blue lines 

 I cut her pretty thoroughly out of the first one and than glued her onto the second drawing 

Also the brown haired girls shoes were cut out and pasted too.

This last one is a bonus, I was going to enter a book cover contests but....it didn't happen because I got lazy and never finished it so here it lays forgotten...until now :)

Sooooo which was your favorite let me know in comments :D

A Battle an Elf and a Girl

So this is what I've done to far which is your favorite and why?

Hear ye Hear ye!

There is no longer six of us writing on this blog! One of us had to quit and so we had to cancel out one person...I will be changing the header...at some point.

And the writing of our story? Well it's coming we're just all really wrapped up in the Summer rush and one of us has a broken laptop so we're doing as well as can be expected; mostly the fault lies on myself for continually forgetting to send out reminders and notices that it's their turn to write *gasp* how can I! Sorry about that but I assure you I'm working it all out. 

On another note I know I said I'd continue to write on this blog between the arrivals of the other parts of our story and I fully intend to do that! But like I said before I've been busy and I barely have time to write on Poetic-Meditations as it is so I hope you'll forgive me.

Anyways let's get some help here...I want to start a continuing story on the side of the one us girls are writing. And here's the thing I want to start it with one of you! That's right I want to write a story with one of my dear followers or as I like to call them amis (friends)if you're interested in this let me know in comments and I'll share the particulars of our arrangement. 

Thanks so much for your patience.

Je vous adresse mon très amical souvenir (Kindest Regards)

Imagination Writes

A pretty poem

Jotted down

For your entertainment and delight!

I walk through imagination's garden 

Sifting through my thoughts

Following the path

Memorie's snapshots.

I lay down upon,

A soft flowerbed

Somewhere,

Lost in my head.

 Dreams color a pretty picture

All around me it lays

Aw, it's all so lovely 

Under sun's dream  rays.

I lay down upon,

A soft flowerbed

Somewhere,

Lost in my head.

Stories begin to form

Flitting everywhere without pardon

I have to write them down before

I've lost them  to imagination's garden.

I lay down upon,

A soft flowerbed

Somewhere,

Lost in my head.

Excuse me now, Imagination Writes!

Soon, Coming Soon, Soon, Soon

Yes I'm editing one of the girl's parts and then I will post it. But since the writing process is slow and since we have sooooooo many authors working on it, I'm just going to fill in the gaps with other stories, poetry, and or random stuff :) so yep never fear those of you who are reading this that you won't see posts on here except very rarely...hope things all work out gotta go now.

Avastine

 Avastine 

By:Sarah

 

I smiled as I plopped another finished book onto the table beside me, I’d nearly read all the books in the Royal library now a feat that was not highly regarded by nearly everyone except my father who loved it that I read and often encouraged me to take on some of the most challenging novels, but now thinking of father I frowned. Father had been ill for the last two years and many of the doctors who came to look at him declared he wouldn’t last another that was in fact the reason I had been reading so I could forget he was ill.

As my father was unable to take on his duties as king all was left to my oldest sister Emily but when it was realized that she wasn’t good for that they quite skipped over my other sister Eowyn and assigned the kingly duties to a council until either she should marry or I came of age…why they never even considered Eowyn was beyond me maybe it had something to do with the fact that she was so…so well so controlling or something like that something not good at least she and I weren’t very close I can tell you that much. Anyways my father was ill and who knew what would happen should one of our neighboring countries decide to expand their boarders at least the council was trying to make it look like we had proper ruler-ship which seemed to be working on them but…while they were doing a good job of that they were neglecting the peasants and as a result they had hardly any food and life for them was so troublesome because of all the strict rules I wasn’t sure they wouldn’t rebel at some point.

All this I worried about but I couldn’t do anything about it because…well…because I couldn’t I mean I could never go before the council and tell them all this, that would mean going before all those people and they would all stare at me I could barely stand going out into the kitchen because of the seven maids and…well I guess now is as good a time as any to tell you that I’ve never deigned to step foot out of this castle since I was five years old. So well you can understand my predicament…maybe.

Yay! We're Started!

This is to let people know that I will not delete this blog because all the girls have given me the thumbs up to start this thing. Yay *excited face* I can't wait to get typeing. We're going to kickstart her with a continuing series. There are a total of six girls working on it all with her own character. My character is called Avastine (knicknamed Ava) and I of course will be writing from her perspective as all the other girls will be writing from theirs. Oh, I'm just so excited for this thing to get started and I hope to be able to entertain you all :)
