Circular Stamps with Ink and Pitt Pen on Paper

I saw some examples of this as a fun project on Pinterest for kids.  I also remember doing this as a child, using ink on my fingertips then making creatures from the dots.  Fun!  Do try this at home!

5"x5" Pitt Pen on Paper

In April I woke from a dream and scribbled this design in a pad of paper by my bed.  I recently discovered it and thought it was cool!  So I drew a good copy using pitt pens.  I love the connection between black and white, night and day, sleepy and awake/healthy and tired.  I like how the bottom, white, 'healthy' birdie seems to happily carry the snoozing black birdie.  They help each other out and go together well.  Yin and yang.  I really like this one.

 On Facebook I saw this awesome photo of two cats, one black, one white, hugging and tails forming a love heart:

Note:  I don't have credit for this photo, I put it through 

Google Image Search and it was on hundreds

of sites, none of which were credited.

Sorry to the owner of this photo. Great shot!

 

 I was in love, and simplified it into my black and white version using black Pitt Pen.  I love promoting love and equality through cute kitties!

 

Hair!

Pitt Pen on Paper

After drawing the outline to 'Woman of Lines' (click to see previous post), I experimented with changing her hair!  

The middle image, of long hair was the original style, then I drew the left style in a bob, then the right curly style.  It's amazing how different a hairstyle changes the look!

On Pinterest I came across a striking digital artwork called 'Peggy' by Craig and Karl (click to see the link.) Its lines were striking and it inspired me to make this collage of a woman using stripey lines. 

The first sketch/collage outline, inspired me to branch out into my next upcoming project, 'Hair!' so watch this space:

‘MADE WHOLE’

© 17/4/16 By Shiloh Moore

Thank you for your love, support, thoughts and prayers.

I know it may feel frustrating,

like your prayers for me are unsatisfied…

But I feel honoured to be thought of by you

Every thought, blessing, healing ‘vibe’ and prayer

is of immense value to me

I have accepted my circumstances and

do not pray to be healed as in ‘cured’

I pray of healing in the biblical interpretation

as in to be ‘made whole’

This prayer has been answered:

as in this moment

spiritually, emotionally, socially,

essentially

I feel at peace, of worth, valued,

deeply loved and

wholeheartedly ‘whole’

I am filled with abundant gratitude

for the love, respect, support and grace

my community has given me

I cherish that in company my presence is appreciated

and that my absence is felt

Please continue sending your love, best wishes, and prayers

I know we will get through this
Whatever the outcome,

TOGETHER

Paisley Heart Thanks Owl

6"x6" Posca Markers on Paper

When I completed 'Hypnotic Heart Owl' (see here) I could see the drawing of the owl I used looked like a Paisley pattern.  I've been wanting to make thank you cards, so I decided to make a design I could use using the owl in a Paisley pattern.  I recently bought new small Posca Markers in Black, Blue, Green and Pink, so I used them.

After I finished the thank you card design (above) I saw the pink around the heart-face could also be used with curves like the rest of the body, and I also wanted to draw the owl larger, on its own without the word 'thanks,' so I redrew it (below:)

8"x10" Pastel and Watercolour on Paper

I was trying to sleep and a quick sketch of a heart faced Owl came to mind.  

I wanted to experiment with watercolours and pastels.  I first drew the owl using white oil pastel seen below, then put a layer of bright watercolours over it.
