Scrap book de luxe

It's not a teasing, it's a study I made...Actually my pictures are made of several pictures put together. I make them while I do my illustration, and them integrate each piece as you would do in a scrap book.

Etude

Ce n'est pas un teasing, c'est une etude. Mes illustrations sont faites de differents morceaux que je peins plus ou moins a part selon l'inspiration.  Je les melange ensuite comme on ferait dans un album.

Something fishy-Chiyogami Monday

Every monday we try to make a new pattern that look like Chiyogami paper :)
Check here for more : Chiyogami Monday

Fishy02

Chiyogami appeared at the same moment as Edo Ukiyo-e woodblock engravings. It was created to make dolls, gift wrapping and other children and women crafting objects. Some very well know engravers and artists created Chiyogami. This adorable art survived until now, but most of the time the paper you'll find in shops are not woodblocks prints anymore. However, we can still study and enjoy Chiyogami Edo style.

I don't really know if was much used for Origami during the Edo period, but looks like it's all the fashion now! So here is a pattern I made, maybe you can find a nice origami fish to fold.

This pattern is a seamless, so you can repeat it and print it.
No commercial use, thanks.

Marabout, bout de ficelle

Is the beginning of a French ditty sang by little girls mostly...It's a play on word, each end of a rime being the begining of the next one : "I'm fed up, up to the gill, gill of a fish, fisherman, mind your own business, nest box, box of chocolate, late at work..." that kind of thing. Another expression I play with in this illustration is "ras le bol", up to the (bowl) trim : "I'm fed up"...The chick should be replaced by bunnies, as Honey Bunny is a bit fed up those days.

Poussin04

This to tell you, I'm not fed up of my blog, not at all, but maybe I'll be less constant with it these days, for I'm exhausted and need a little rest. Take care :)

Je n'en ai pas marre de mon blog, bien au contraire, mais je vais etre moins constante dans le posting et le suivi pour quelques jours. C'est le mois de fevrier meme en Californie, et je suis fatiguee!
