I've missed this space... ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I haven't made much art lately, but I have been trying to get back into it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ How have you been doing these past few months? I hope you are staying safe and healthy.⁣ ⁣⁣ #ipadart #ipadpro⁣ ⁣#procreate #procreateapp #sketchbook #sketchstyle #digitalart #digitalsketchbook #draweveryday #drawingoftheday #drawingsketch #drawings #drawinggirls #artjournaling #artjournal #artist #artistoninstagram #artdiary #symmetry #symmetrical #symmetricalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSdhNjAoAF/?igshid=iehdtedps40h

Here is our sleepy-but-smiling 14 year old puppy dog named Ruby Roo. She looks half drunk because she just ate an entire burger patty for her birthday and is absolutely elated lol! What a good girl! We lover her so much and can't believe she is 14 years old!! #bichonfrise #dogsofinstagram #cutepets #cutedog #14yearsold https://www.instagram.com/p/B_tAndvgoyz/?igshid=34ar75nlvylz

Because Wednesday Addams is appropriate all year long... Swipe to see an alternate color choice. Which do you like better? I really can't decide with this one! They feel so different to me with just that shift of color...⁣ ⁣ #procreateapp #draweveryday #applepencil #symmetry #howtomakeart #digitalart #digitalsketchbook #digitaldrawing #wednesdayaddams #poisonbottle #kalidescope #halloween #addamsfamily #artdrawing #artist #artlife #artjournaling #artistoninstagram #artjournal #artistlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qQsqlgOmd/?igshid=112uxfato57co

Can't stop, won't stop. Swipe to see alternate version. Which one do you prefer? Made using symmetry assist in #procreate. ⁣ ⁣ #sketchbook #sketchstyle #symmetry #draweveryday #drawingoftheday #drawingsketch #artjournaling #artistsofinstagram #artistoninstagram #drawgirls #bluehair #howtomakeart #drawdaily #makestuff #makersgonnamake #digitalart #digitalsketchbook #applepencil #ipadart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_n0kLhgz3A/?igshid=1kvu3p645l9lw

I saw @kristinnohejuchs make a lovely post about the @bardotbrush procreate tutorials and #StayHomeAndDraw, and now I can't stop using the symmetry assist feature! So inspired!! ⁣ ⁣ #procreateapp #drawinggirls #applepencil #ipadart #ipadpro #ipadprocreate #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #sketchbook #sketchstyle #digitalsketchbook #bluehair #artistlife #artlife #artlove #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artjournaling #artjournal #sketchdiary #sketchdaily #draweveryday #drawingoftheday #howtomakeart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nI4DFAEmb/?igshid=l0pziny2wrx0

I took a break from stress eating and obsessively reading news on my phone and actually did something creative for the first time since self isolating. I was super inspired by the @pegandawl #quarentinebookbindingclub posts and decided to go back to one of my favorite things, making a book. I used my favorite binding from the book "Cover to Cover" by Shareen LaPlantz. I haven't done this binding in a few years, but it was like riding a bike. Stitching it together felt so familiar and good. ⁣ ⁣ I used vintage book pages, ephemera, old xeroxes, and assorted art accidents to create the #junkjournal interior. The whole thing is kinda rough around the edges, but that's what I like about it. I can't wait to fill it with photos from my HP Sprocket printer and, of course, sketches. ⁣ ⁣ The back cover features our sweet Ruby Roo, who is about to turn 14 on May 1st. Currently seeking suggestions on how to top her 13th birthday where she had a HUGE steak dinner lol. ⁣ ⁣ Hope you and yours are staying safe! Remember that it's ok to not always be productive or creative during this time... I know I have been hard on myself since I haven't been too creative since all of this started, but I'm trying to be okay with just being okay during these strange and difficult times. Sending you a virtual hug!! ⁣ ⁣ ❤️❤️❤️⁣ ⁣ #bookbinding #artjournal #artjournaling #sketchbook #vintage #vintagestyle #artist #artlife #crafts #maker #makersgonnashare #makersgonnamake #artistsoninstagram #artaccidentally #messyart #vintagebooks #journal #journaling #notebooklove #notebooks #notebooktherapy #artlove https://www.instagram.com/p/B--UJd2gWci/?igshid=1xl261pt8lg20
