Illustration Friday - focused

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:54:00 +0000

happiness, and for me, focus....is in the little things. like micro pens. the detail you can create in a sketch is intense, and captures my idea that much more accurately. like this piece- the original is about 3"w x 5"h or so. micro pen on watercolor.

hand drawn note cards

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 18:34:00 +0000

there is something that makes me very happy when I get an actual handwritten note - and nothing more gratifying when I get the chance to write out a few of my own to send to friends. These are simple little paneled note cards with little hand drawn sprouts along the bottom edge, with matching envelopes that I've sprouted along the flap edge.

take out a black pen or marker and make your own note cards from blank paper and envelopes - they make a perfect last minute gift.

Illustration Friday - wilderness

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 15:10:00 +0000

the wilderness in my imagination comes up with stuff like this.... underwater wildness!

Deer Run Farm book

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 20:41:00 +0000

Highlighting the beautiful deer of the Deer Run Farm, this book is a limited edition run of 100 - all copies are in private collection.

Illustration Friday - Confined

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:35:00 +0000

this week's word for illustration friday is confined- wouldn't you know it, I've been drawing up corsets lately- maybe I'll create a paper doll series! micro pen & ink on watercolor. the original drawings are about 1"h.

an old watercolor

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:11:00 +0000

Lately, I have been digging through my older artwork- finding mostly paintings and drawings from high school, and scanning them in, to preserve them all digitally, just in case. Today, I came across this watercolor landscape I did in Mr Hammond's class- one of only two watercolors I've ever done- and kept. I'm thinking it was the third independent study class I had with him...poor guy tried to teach me all his amazing skills in watercolor every class, but I was already tainted with the texture and boldness of oil painting - all I cared about was expression, and used half tubes of watercolor paint to achieve my aims.

Mr Hammond, I've nominated you for sainthood of teenage artists, and I promise, I listen & paint better now, too, thanks to you.

Illustration Friday - Renewal

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 17:38:00 +0000

what better to start the year out with than a renewal of love!

I'm very lucky to be able to say I'm Matron of Honor for my sister's upcoming nuptials this summer! This excitement of sharing in my sister's wedding planning combined with a few bridal shower invites to do.... has me making bridal shower illustrations galore. i love sharing the love!

this piece is ink and marker- affectionately titled, "the love jungle"

Wishing you all good things this New Year!

Illustration Friday - Pattern

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:31:00 +0000

I may draw patterns more than I draw anything else- something very pleasing about the repetition of form. the pieces and parts are hand drawn pen and ink, then digitally colored.

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:15:00 +0000

this card has been modified so many times - artwork added, then taken away, then new artwork added and refined...i like this current incarnation, but i'm sure i'll modify it again...its my nature!

idle - illustration friday

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:26:00 +0000

double cocoa sugar scrub - nibs to tags

noreply@blogger.com (trish weill) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:13:00 +0000

Handmade, from the sugar scrub to the packaging! it feels so good to be able to do it all, nibs to tags. i'm doing a new monthly sugar scrub at the shop - first out is double cocoa...this sugar scrub batch is rich in powdered Dominican Republic cocoa blended with sugar and organic ground raw cocoa nibs- add in a bit of sweet almond oil, and frankly, I'd rather eat it- but it really does a fantastic job of lightly exfoliating your skin without too much oil left over for the steamy midsummer nights.

Each tag is hand drawn, the labels too!

{quarter pints $10, half pints $20, +shipping}
