heArt #159: Vector Heart #1

Adventures in learning Adobe Illustrator continue. I’m sure this will look really rudimentary to me as I learn more but for right now it’s beautiful! Had to learn some things and cross some hurdles just to get this much accomplished. Illustrator can be very different from Photoshop at times.

heArt #140: Snowflake heArts

This started out as a page of snowflakes I doodled one Saturday morning I spent with some creative friends.  Originally I used ink and colored pencil but with the magic of  Photoshop I could cut out each individual snowflake and remix it.  I also made a Photoshop brush with one of the snowflakes that I [...]

heArt #139: Heart Apple Tree Drawing

I’m finally done with massage school, have passed my national certification exam, and have the license application in the mail.  So now I can get back to my heArts!  I had no idea all of that would end up tapping the creativity right out of me.   Well, that and my muse disappearing.  But…upward and onward!

heArt #138: Squidoo Voodoodle Veve Heart

My friend Voodoomama (and “Squid Giant”) challenged me to make a “squidoodle” for her new Voodoo Squidoodles lens and Voodoo-Doll-a-Day blog, inspired by my Doodle Art lens.

My Cheating heArt

I found this website the other day called ImageChef where you can cook up some mindless, fun, images. I haven’t had time to do any of my own art today, so I’m posting my creation from ImageChef instead. All I had to do was find an image I liked and type in the words.

heArt #82 Baroque Heart Rubber Stamp

This is my first rubber stamp design. It is for a company named Hearts in Touch. “Art stamping” first attracted me ten years ago and I had it in mind then that I’d like to be a designer. It’s finally happened! And I can honestly say I would buy every sheet of stamps this company [...]
