Floral banner

Here's a banner for my garden blog, Waiting for Plumeria. I've been wanting to play around with hand-lettering a bit.

Most loved kitchen tool

Inspired by Thomas James' podcast on workspaces over on Escape from Illustration Island, I'm cleaning out and organizing my studio today. And in the process, I found this watercolor from a few months ago; my grandmother gave me this set of two chicken potholders that I use everyday. Who could resist something so cheerful and functional!

The color pink

Our life drawing model this week had cotton candy pink hair (and I just happened to bring along some pastels); and my eve's necklace tree in the backyard is in full bloom.
