Another piece finished.  This one took me several days.  Because it is colored pencils, it took a lot longer.  I love playing with colored pencils and wish I had a really good set. 

Here is the first penciled in version.  It is all just circles all over the paper.  All different sizes. 

As you will see in the final rendition, I ended up making a lot of changes.
I really need to work on my lettering.  I wonder if anyone is truly happy with something they create.   I love the colors though. 

Both knitting and crocheting have been frustrating me recently so this morning I chose to draw.  When I went to sleep last night I had a flower idea kicking around in my head and I started with that then I went back to pinterest to find ways to fill out the picture I had started and I found this... by Christine Hawkins

I loved it.  I thought it would challenge me on a couple of levels.  This is what I came up with.  Lots of changes but still very much her idea... (I am in NO way taking credit for that).  I like what I came up with though and once again, I learned a lot.  I love that so many people share the things they do so others can learn from them!

Here is challenge 4 again, this time with color.  I am just not really happy with it.  not all of it, just the "braided" part.  Guess I have to re think it but it is finished for now.
