I made two more watercolour paintings in my moleskin journal. If you remember, I made that Bolivian Boy using graphite pencils. Well, I redrew him from scratch and then did the whole 
pic in watercolours. Alot of you wanted to see what he would look like with colours , so here he is.
pic in watercolours. Alot of you wanted to see what he would look like with colours , so here he is.Also, I made a bird and a rose. As you can see , I am writing and including journal entries. It will be a lovely book to look through The moleskin journal has 60 pages in it, so lots of room to make paintings.
I used my new Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils. It is amazing how when you colour the pic in and then apply the water with the brush, it turns into a lovely watercolour.You have to do it in layers;otherwise, the colours will run into each other so everytime you want to add details, you have to let it dry first. I am so enjoying all of it.
Oh, a few people asked me if I will be painting exclusively and not quilting anymore. If you know anything about a Gemini, you know that we like to dabble in a lot of things...I will still be quilting, crocheting, painting, writing etc, etc....I enjoy having various hobbies.
Well, off to watch some tv.

Lovely paintings and I adore Moleskine booklet!
Have a fun evening.
Your moleskin journal is going to be soooooooooooo beautiful. Oh you are so talented and you do such beautiful work. :-)
I sort of wanted to say "and so brave"... but that's not you. I would be brave, if I attempted to do such. -le sigh-
The press tour for promotion of 'Eclipse' has started. Kristen and Taylor are in Australia.

Nice work!
I swing back and forth between hobbies also...I am a Libra - the scales - and of course those scales swing wildly sometimes.
I like dabbling in lots of crafty things too.. I've done painting, pottery, patchwork, card making, embroidery, knitting, sewing clothes, crochet... heck heaps more I'm sure!
It's fun eh?
Now I understand why we enjoy so many of the same things! Your watercolors are charming - you've inspired me!
