  • Lucy.

    \'Lucy\' by Kat Johnston

    This lovely little lady is miss Lucy. Lucy is a hair-doll. She has been created with the discarded strands of hair that part from my tresses as they are dutifully washed, cleansed and made all nice, shiny and presentable for the world. The least I can do for those brave strands of hair that would face the world away from their brethren is wind them all together and personify them for you all to see and adore just as much as I do.

    This is actually a sketch I have been meaning to do for a little while now… I have a -lot- of hair and needless to say, each time I wash it, a certain amount does come away… I’ve never actually made a hair-doll from my hair, but I can’t say I haven’t considered doing it *grin*.

  • Juniper.

    \'Juniper\' by Kat Johnston

    Lucky you! You’re getting two piccies in one day since I was just sketching away… as the tv droned dully in the background, with yet another informational segment of ‘how to save on your electricity bill with a few simple steps’.

    Afterwards, this young lady urged me into giving her a place here – somewhere to call her own. Meet miss Juniper. I could write a lot about her right here – she has a soft, clear voice that has compelled me into scanning her in already… but in my mind, this girl is able to speak just fine all by herself, even if she may not wish to give up all of her secrets all at once. She’ll get by without me narrating her story, I’m sure *smile*.

  • Little Flower.

    \'Little Flower\' by Kat Johnston

    Awww… here is the sketch for today. Exciting, huh? Now, when you think about it, that is one really really small flower when you take into account the relative sizes of things – even if you consider that that roughly drawn swiss may be from a rather large round of cheese. Perhaps it is not really a flower. Perhaps it is one little spear from the head of a wayward dandelion clock having struck 13:02 for some rosey-faced child out to find the time in a far more organic manner than can be obtained from looking at their digital watch. I suppose it is really irrelevant either way, but still something to muse over nonetheless.

    For your interest, just in case you can’t actually tell… this sketch and the one previous are not all that large. The rose in the previous post might be about three inches by three inches… this one is probably about the same. Just in case size -does- matter *grin*.

  • An Iron Rose.

    \'Iron Rose\' by Kat Johnston

    Ok, so another friend of mine has been on my back for weeks about creating for him a purple rose. Here is the result. Its still just a pencil sketch at this point, but I will rework and refine it further when I have a little more time to turn it into something just perfect for him… I hope. Yay for coloured pencils and a black pen on paper! If the reworked and refined version works out well, I will probably throw that up at a later point. Ok, that’s all for now!

  • Dragonling Dreaming.

    \'Dragonling Dreaming\' by Kat Johnston

    A friend of mine decided that she wanted a picture drawn for her… a picture of what I thought she would be dreaming of as she laid down to a nap. I think, perhaps, that she may have been dreaming of other things. However if it were I laying down for that nap, I have a feeling that this delicate lady would have been first and foremost in my mind.

    Its a long walk home after a good night out and an even harder one when you are doing it by your lonesome… but why let that get you down when you have on a lovely frock, it is a moonlit path you walk down and there is naught but a chill evening breeze to disturb your thoughts? Not the greatest sketch in the world… but I like it none-the-less.
