OLD TEDDY IDEAS

 I had an idea to make a bunch of teddy bears with dolls.
 I never really finished the idea.  I know teddy bears aren't popular right now....
 I just love teddy's so much! But I was sort of copying an idea of another artist.
Her work is focused on dolls or little doll like girls.  She impressed me so much I went through a whole phase of dolls and bears and little girls.  Funny how much someone can influence you and how you need to follow your own heart.  Not someone else's heart. :)  It's all a learning process.  I think it was a really good lesson for me.  Her dream and success was NOT mine.

They are sweet though.

I like your new header with the paper airplanes. Your blog changes look good. The paper airplanes are whimsical enough to seem apt for your style.

Lovely drawings, I get inspired by other artists' work too. It's great to get ideas that change as you start to paint isn't it? :)xx
