Beads beads beads! (and a life update)

And lots of them too!
My mom is still making her necklaces, those of you that have me on facebook can see them in my photo albums section ^^
She also has a website now!!! Its: www.irenemakes.tumblr.com
Have a look, its worth checking out!!

Most of the beads she uses are from Value Village, and some of them are truly too cute to pass up. The blue kitten and ribbon beads are my favorite! Its beads like those that make a necklace truly original!!

Quick update in other things: I'm steadily working towards finishing my summer classes, dutifully doing all my assignments on time and whatnot. Recently bought some gorgeous paper at The Paper Place in downtown Toronto which hopefully I will be able to scan in and use in some illustrations. On the drawing front: Lately I've been getting really discouraged because I can't seem to draw anything that I like, but I suppose bad drawing days work similarly to writer's block. Either I need a break, or I need to slow down and realize that not everything I create will be awesome enough to become a finalized product. Oh well. Currently I'm working on some portrait sketches using pencil crayons, but I seriously think its about time I bought new supplies!!!

bah!

still suck at portraiture. maybe one of these days i'll finally get it? :\

still a long way to go

playing with the brushes palette on illustrator and this concoction is a direct result of that. so cool! i can't wait to actually make decent art with this program hahaha

Summer so far

What my summer looks like so far! backyard patio lunches with homemade salad&grilled cheese&smoothies, my mom's blueberry tart (I took a break from baking), and the messy consequences of drawing up a storm!!!

The beginnings of summer

Photos from a recent trip to High Park to see the cherry blossoms.
