Happy Anniversary Sunday Sketches
Well, according to our wonderful hostess Sophia, over at The Blue Chair Diary, it has been one year since she began Sunday Sketches. A weekly art co-op dedicated to showcasing a sketch created during the week.
We post our sketch and visit our friends!
Sophia started with two participants and now has over 30 participants on any given Sunday!
YAY Sophia, congratulations!
I am so proud of YOU!
Every Sunday she is hostess to this creative blog event. Her dedication has brought all of us together every Sunday, for 52 weeks! It's good to see familiar faces, and new faces every week...it really brightens my day!
It's such a great forum, and filled with such artistic people and talent.
I so love my Sunday Sketch buddies!
So Sophia, this is for YOU!
Thank you!

I like your surrender topic. So true. But Feb. is almost here. Thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this, from ballerina Sophia to the starbucks and the little mouse, such fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, there were a few things that i picked up from sophia's sketches, that remind me of her, the blue, the heart and the turtles!
ReplyDeleteOh Heather!!! How very perfect and appropriate for Sophia!! The ballet! The Tea! The Striped Socks!!Her logo! The hearts! Amazing touches and oh so cute!! And so well said!

(and now I read the comments and see there is even more Wow!!)
What a great sketch Heather!!! You have captured her so well! I too look forward to sharing with all the great artists that participate each week, and feel I have truly made a friend in you! I never leave your place without feeling happy and smiling...
ReplyDeleteHugs and smiles my friend!
Oh, I forgot to respond to your suggestion for a coloring book...That is a great idea. I do color and ink at the same time with my pieces, not the complete sketch and then add color, so I would have to change my process, but that is a wonderful idea. I used to do the complete ink drawing first, and my daughter loved to get a copy and color it as she liked.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that again.
thanks for the sweet comments about how she turned out too!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to the sketches! Love these! If anyone ever wants a custom-drawn header for their blogs, you are the first person I'm going to call! XX!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable tribute in both picture and word! I've enjoyed coming to your blog and getting to know you Heather!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, look at that, how special!! No wonder Sophia was totally over the moon, it's a wonderful creation Heather. I love my weekly visits too - such a great bunch and a complete variety of styles - always a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, my canvas goddess measures 15" x 20" and the gold one in my sketchbook is 8" x 12"
My daughter say "it's so pretty. yeah mum? " to which I reply... " it is really cool! :) Super illo. I like how you also put in the Sunday sketch badge :)
