Martha`s book "Place"

I feel that it`s been awhile since last time I received Lisa`s book, the pass few weeks I`ve been crazying busy and even didn`t have time doing my drawings seriousely.

so I was very happy when I found this in my doorhall, Thank you Kerstin! I absolutely love the stamps!! Thank you so much for taking my impudent request :P


The theme of Martha`s book is "Place", I myself love city view so I definitely add it to my entry.

Lee’s Moly



Finally ready to send Lee's moly to Kirsten! This is a little vacation spot my family visits every year. Bayhorse Lake is about 8 miles up in the mountains near Challis Idaho (a 4.5 hour drive from Boise where we live). Motor boats are not allowed on the lake so we take our raft out and/or fish from the docks. The fishing was fantastic this year and you can't beat the quite of the lake and mountains. I thought it would be fun to show a contrast to Lee's and Martha's tropical beaches. ;-)

Leah's Moly



This month I got to work in Leah's moly. Her theme is "Enter the Carnival". Great idea: this was sure fun to do.

I used an Ultra Fine Sharpie for the drawing this time around rather than my usual fountain pen, and the same watercolor pencils that I've been using, for color.

Lisa`s moly, selfportrait theme


This is my entry in Lisa`s moleskine, I KNOW , it may looks kinds of creepy, but I think it`s better to express myself in this way, well... that`s me. :)

I use pencil drawings compose with little bit traditional chinese brush painting style.

Beach in Martha´s Moly

This one was fun to do and turned out completely untypical for me... the light colors, using water color pencils, white space, etc. I do prefer the opposite, but I think it goes well with this moly.

Moleskines that went out this week!

I just sent off my second and third molys to Lee today. Here they are:

1. Myth Moleskine: I added the mermaid and fish.



2. Pop Culture Moleskine:
I got distracted and gave Catherine another head, which might not have been in keeping with the theme.

Martha'a Moly "Place"


My addition to Martha's moly. My place is the school carnival that that I took the kids to last Friday evening. I tried to keep Martha's lovely mountain range in the background, yet incorporating a bit of Boise's backdrop. Thus the flat topped hill with the cross on it. This "hill" is called TableRock and on top of it is a huge cross that is lights up every night so you can see it for miles around. That is my son, Alex, in the foreground throwing the football at the target. There were a lot more people everywhere, but I found it much too difficult to include them all since they moved around too fast. I am sending this off to Kerstin today!
Here is how the two places look together. :)
