Girlchild, my 12-year-old granddaughter who lives with us, is in the throes of last-week-before-school-starts boredom. Believe me, there is no one in this house who won't be glad to see Tuesday morning come. She has filled several sketchbooks over the summer. Her drawing is so incredible...she draws anime characters, and I kid you not, you can't tell them from the real thing, that is the ones in publications or in productions. I've watched her do them from scratch, and I'm blown away. I have to start scanning them so that she can put some up in my etsy shop, to sell prints. Here's just one:
Tomorrow I will be taking photos of the bead embroideries I finished off this week, and then I can share them with you all. Right now, it's past my bedtime, incredible as that sounds. I took some antihistamines and they're kicking my butt.
Night, yall.

Holy moly! That's not just a talent, that's a gift! (Does this run in the family?) I think you need to talk to the art teacher at school (do they still have that?) and see what suggestions he has to nurture this gift.
Great drawing! Hope school goes well!

HI there, thanks for finding my blog and your comments. The pieces I did are NOT needle felted but look as though they might have been.
Everything was fused with fusible webbing before embroidering.
Your needle felted pieces are wonderful. I'll have to go check your etsy. Love the little fishies.
Your granddaughter's talents are VERY impressive! She's amazing and just in middle school? WOW! I don't think she needs art school, that would probably destroy her talent! Your really need to get her artwork on etsy.
have a great weekend.

yes, Linda, the art thing...is kinda a family obsession...thank you for your kind words about GC's drawing talent, she was thrilled to hear compliments from total strangers and grownups to boot! they have art, but only a for a 10-week term once a school year. wish it was every day for her, all year long. she has the same art teacher that her mother did many years ago...sheesh. that seems like last week too.
take care :)
thanks Sarah! so far school's going well, GC is glad to see her friends:) take care :)
thanks libby...you know, it's just been recently that she will share her artwork with me...for years she wouldn't let me see! go figure! take care and have a great weekend! :)
glad you came by, Cathy! ah, fusible web. it's been a few years since i played with that, it's on my gotta do some of that list.
good point about art school for my granddaughter. she's not fond of doing things by the book! come to think of it, i guess i know where she gets that! :D
have a good weekend and come again!
