happy houndstooth


when it came time to start drawing in my new catalog, i knew exactly what my first entry would be......my houndstooth reading glasses!  they are they first thing i look for when i walk into my studio, and they're the last thing i put down when i leave.  on my list of happy-art-stuff, they rank numero uno because when it comes to creating, they see so much better than i ever could......






and they really are an art-girl's best friend!!


{this catalog page was created using micron pens, 
derwent watercolor pencils, koi watercolor, 3B graphite pencil.}

Must admit to admiring your glasses for a long time! I have to take my glasses off when I'm crafting. They varifocals and the long distance is fine but I do need my prescription changed for the close work. At the moment I'm sticking to them as they are, I'd sooner spend the money on craft :o)

How I love your glasses. Whenever I see a peek of them on your blog .... I think that's Lori!! I love the idea of this little journal and it is very appropriate to have the glasses at the beginning. I know for myself (midlife) that I can't see worth a darn without my reading glasses!
