Hi Everyone....I took some of my sketches for my latest picture book and made a special piece for IF this week....This little boy always welcomes the cute birds to his families backyard....the birds love him because he always tops up the bird feeder and shows them how special they are....I think he will grow up to be a wonderful man....
Happy Friday Everyone!!!
Hugs
Diana
I'm always intrigued by your images and this makes me think I should experiment with shadows.

Beautifully done, Diana!
ReplyDeletewhat a charming and lovely work!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful Diana. Full of like and love of nature.
ReplyDeleteChildren who treat animals well are allready wonderful people!
ReplyDeleteLove those shadows!
your work is already perfect, thought it couldn't get any better but with these shadows it does!
Have a nice weekend!
I love your blanket stitch around all your pieces. This little guy sure is happy!
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me to want to get my drawing tools out every time I stop by!
Oh my he is adorable Diana. Cute birds are always fun to feed. He has a sweet lil' feeder. I like this!!
ReplyDeleteaaaaw this is little cole, such a cutie pie he is too and i bet he (cole) will grow up to be a terrific man!
ReplyDeleteAh - sweet! I think he'll grow up to be a wonderful man, too!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! How did you make the shadows? Great colors and happy feel to it. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteSo vibrant! Great attitude!
ReplyDeleteI have not used my stamp machine yet, because I have a mental block that I am going to ruin the materials or something. I am very technically and mechanically sound, but for some reason, I am just afraid to use it. How funny. I am not afraid of anything either normally. Maybe I will ask my husband to help me give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI got mine from Just Rite Stamps and it was on sale for half off, it is normally $400.00, and I got it for $200.00
ReplyDeleteThe starter kit which included some variety packs of the polymer was $50.00
The machine I got is the Imagebox Professional. From all the different people at the stampers convention they rated it the best. And, a lot of companies that package to sell use this machine. It looks very easy to use, I just haven't put some of my images in it yet. The most expensive thing will be printing out the negative images on the plastic to shoot them in the UV box!!!
I hope this helps
You bet your sweet patootie he's going to grow up to be a wonderful man! Hmmmm, I wonder if this little man's name is Cole.....
ReplyDeleteExcellent piece, Diana. How DO you crank them out so fast!?
A lovely illo Diana!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Oh... I love this one Diana! The birds are awesome!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a terrific Friday!!
That is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWow!! This is so cool Diana! Nice effect...very 3D. I feel like putting on my 3D glasses....and those colors are great. You rock!
ReplyDeleteI went on the website one day, and they were half off. I was toying with the idea of getting one, and was just going to go on the site for the video on how to work the unit. When I went there it was half price so I just ordered it! Maybe it will go on sale again???
ReplyDeleteOrder extra light bulbs right away, mine had a blown one right away.
Diana, this is so much fun! I LOVE your paintings - they are so happy and joyful! This little guy is wonderful! Hugs, Silke
