The First Chapter

When I was in L.A. for the 4th of July holiday, I found some artwork from my childhood. One piece included my very first handmade book that I crafted from Little Twin Star stationery when I was 4-years old.

My mom played piano then and I remember creating my own book of music full of made up notes and song titles (including one about Superman) so I could play along.

I guess I had a penchant for bookbinding all those years ago!

Some other findings were the first drawing I did of a dog at the age of 4. Funny how they kind of look like Emmett!

And something that looks like a prelude to my accordion books!

I also found some illustrations from 6th grade of our weekly vocabulary words. I remember having fun filling in all the squares.

Tickled Pink

This is a painting I did in in less than an hour.

My assignment: 20 min. to gather “pink” materials and 20 min. to create.Pink was my favorite color as a kid and painting this pink potpourri helped me get back in touch with that giggly pig-tailed young girl.

I call it “tickled pink.”

When I was a kid I was always drawing and painting. Those were my favorite pastimes.

That’s me at art class when I was in kindergarten. I loved using the vibrant acrylics to paint flowers, animals, fruits and all sorts of other fun stuff.
