Illustration Friday 'Repair'

My first attempt at an Illustration Friday challenge, uploaded a bit too late to be able to post it on the site. Oh well. It forced me to do something anyway. The challenge word was 'repair'. Natural for me to think of all things medical.

This is actually my first drawing for Virtual Sketchdate.  The second one is the Pen and Ink with colored pencil.

My second attempt at October Virtual Sketch date 'Pears'. This will probably look better on the page as I have used the scanner this time instead of taking a photo of the sketchbook. This will all take a little tweaking I can tell.

Finally back to making the Granny cards. In fact there are a few not yet posted. Here is this week's card done with acrylic and colored pencil on watercolor paper. With two more grandchildren bringing the total to seven I no longer make an original 'work of art' for each but make one original, then scan it into my computer. I load it into Picassa where I might crop it or nudge the colors a bit and then print out the color copies. I almost always make 5.5 x 4.25 prints ( four to an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper) because that is a great size for mailing. Most convenient.
