A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Shelter from the rain

September 12, 2012

It’s starting to get chilly these days, and soon the famous Seattle rainy season will begin…with that theme in mind, here is one of my digital illustrations I created using origami textures. One of my favorites! I’m also submitting it for Illustration Friday, which I haven’t done in eons…

    This is fantastic. I love the textures you used and the little story/world you’ve created. Lovely illustration for the topic.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones! I’m spending time with family in the Midwest and there is much to be grateful for, not the least of which is the slower pace this week. Sending big hugs to you! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Incidentally, this ikebana floral arrangement is one of the illustrations that didn’t make it into my book SHIBUI — I painted a lot of extra illos!
