IF : Liquid

My favorite liquid...Tea!

IF : Future

The theme for Illustration Friday this week is "Future."  My immediate future includes a vacation!

Just like it says : a road trip to New England (!!!).  This is the cover of a little handmade journal I'm doing about the trip.  It'll have all of our necessary info in it (itinerary, confirmation numbers, packing list, etc.) as well as a few pages to sketch during the trip.

I tend to spend more time thinking about what to pack for my arts & crafts than I do for my clothing when it comes to vacations.  Which sketchbooks (and how many), which palette, how many pens and pencils, water containers, et al consume many hours of thought.  And then there's what knitting to take, how much reading material, etc.  In comparison, clothes are simple :)

IF : Urban

I love fountains.  You usually see lots of fountains in urban areas.  The whole motion things captivates me, and water, of course.

IF : Swim

It'll be here soon...swim season!

IF : Yesterday

This was my favorite fragrance when I was a teenager.  I remember clearly the scent, and just the mood it created.  Even now, I would love it if they would make this scent again!

IF : Wool

Are you kidding me?!  The Illustration Friday word for this week is WOOL.  People...wool!

When I saw that I wanted to draw yarn, sheep, fiber, handspun, fleece....and it looks like so did everyone else.  Go take a look!

IF : Storm

I love a gentle rainstorm...the kind where you can curl up with a good book, a large cup of tea and a sweet dog at your feet!

IF : Wheel

I've been doing the Illustration Friday sketches for a few months now, but I haven't enough nerve to actually post any of my sketches.  But with this week's word (wheel) I knew I needed to just go for it.

Spinning Wheel :

How could I not?
