This is my response to EDM# 161 - Draw something you think smells wonderful. It is a lovely leather wallet I bought to keep my iPod Classic in. The old case fell apart at the seams so I decided to treat myself to this handmade leather beauty from hollyhawk designs on Etsy. Even though I have had it for a couple of months now it still has that wonderful new leathery thing smell. I love it. As you can see from the notes around the sketch, I started this drawing in August. It fell victim to my creative block and I only just finished it last weekend!
You'll be pleased to hear that my head is now buzzing with ideas again. I have just ordered some properly printed Christmas cards with my polar bear on that will be available through my Etsy shop.... I have just realised though, that in a months time it will be the 1st birthday of my little blog, so I think I will hold a card giveaway in celebration :o)
I also received a beautiful card from Alex in the post - from way across The Pond! How lovely to receive such lovely post, it has helped me feel inspired again - thanks Alex, and watch your post box!!
Right, I'm off to catch up on creative lost time - while I listen to my new 'Them Crooked Vultures' cd :o)
That's the cutest iPod case I've ever seen. And you drew it beautifully. Welcome back to drawing!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Lesley! This drawing is lovely. No wonder you love it - it not only smells great, but it's so pretty! nancy
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Lesley.
ReplyDeleteWell I can almost smell it too! Looks like a lovely thing to keep in your bag.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job rendering the look and feel of the leather. Like you, I love the smell of leather. I really enjoyed looking at your artwork. It's all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDespite the real-deal of having the pouch for your ipod, this is definitely a great way to show appreciate of that nifty little device, and the pouch itself =) I love it and I could almost smell the leather all the way across the Pond ^^
ReplyDeleteI am glad you received the card and I am happy that you like it. And it is very exciting now I am wondering what's going to be in the mailbox... sounds like Christmas comes early this year ;)
Wonderful drawing of your ipod case! So glad to hear you're drawing again and full of ideas. You wouldn't know it by the inactivity of my blog, but I have been drawing. The ideas (for art) are still running a little slow, but I think that it's because I'm using all my idea-juice on some remodeling work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and glad I could inspire you to do blind contours. Your art is fabulous. I really liked your beach from Yorkshire and how you captured the texture in your ipod cover. My daughter and I just returned from a trip to the UK. We had a fantastic time.
