Express Yourself

Well, NYC had its first snowfall...now it really feels like winter.  So, today was a good day to stay inside, drink good coffee and create.  I came across another wonderful challenge blog, Art with No Boundaries.  Sharon, a teammate from Wicked Wednesdays, is hosting the challenges and our first theme: Express Yourself!

Most challenges call for cards and ATCs...I'm going back to my favorite form of expression: colorful and crazy drawings!  My favorite media are pencil and ink.  I use multi-media paper or canvas paper (I like the texture and pencil effects).  I am a person of contradictions.  Dark, gothic, bright and sweet.  

I find inspiration from anything and everything.  It mostly comes from within and how I feel at that very moment.  Here's a drawing to showcase the surrealistic landscape of my imagination:

Some of my favorite things

Gothic Lolita, Turtles, Bunnies, CUPCAKES!, Strawberries, Cherries, Apples, Pumpkins, Music, Butterflies, Fashion, Sunflowers, COFFEE!, Tea, Skellie Daisies....and a whole lot more!

Meet Gabriella:

I love the movie The Corpse Bride!

Her pet Bun-Bun, the undead bunny:

Take time to smell the flowers...

A turtle birdcage?

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to read this.  Happy creating!

Peace and love,
