Some Sass: Art-Thursday

Some sass for this week :) A combo of a brush pen sketch from the corner of my sketchbook, and some digital color from my iPhone, the Picsart app.

Foxy Pendant: Art-Wednesday

This little fox is made of clay, and I created her specially for my little sister as a good luck charm (and pick-me-up) for her last finals of college! Worked perfectly! :)

Sculpted in polymer clay, painted with acrylic paint, and finished with a waxed cord. I didn't measure her before giving her away, but she is about the size of the pad of my thumb!

My Completed Little Fox Charm

My sister @briannaleahyart is an actual doll & made me this fox pendant to help me get through these last few weeks of classes. ✨🐺💖 #fox #art #SOCUTE #handmade

Be a Champion of Love, Understanding & Inclusivity

My heart is heavy after hearing the news about #orlando today. There are no words to express how much I wish it were not true. My sincerest condolences to those families affected. I wish strength and healing for everyone. Sending love. #briannaleahyart #art #artist #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #lgbtcommunity #support #solidarity #love #loving #peace #bestwishes #understanding #heart #rainbow #gay #healing #equality #compassion #drawing #sketch #digitalart #inclusive

Mer-May: Art-Wednesday

I enjoy participating in art-tags on Instagram, so when I found out about "MerMay" (drawing lots of mermaids for the length of May), I was excited to join in! So before the month was over, I did slip in a couple more mermaid drawings. Enjoy!
