How Many?

Working on my 1,000,000 leaves project again. I've been neglecting it. I haven't counted this one yet: Anyone want to let me know how many leaves there are in there? :D

Holidays are Coming!!

I think my Holiday Craziness started early this year, way back in early September. But I’ve been able to sneak a couple hours in between my crazy-day-job to work on my artsy-job (Pen&Paperie), finally! I’ve had a hectic couple of months, though I’ve just logged my last hours for my architectural license! Woohoo. (Now…on to those exams…)

With ambitions of putting out two calendars this year, I am…half-way there. I’ve got one done! Check out my little 2011 Garden Calendar on Etsy. I’ve made the pictures tear-off note/post cards so you can use them when the month is done.

And, hey, I think some of these can count towards my 1,000,000 Leaves project too…double-duty crafts! How efficient.

Next up: zodiac calendar and Christmas cards!

Have your holiday crazies started yet??

1,000,000 Leaves - 234-359

234-323 324-359

Some of these are real leaves, some of them are purely imaginary. Though with the crazy imagination Mother Nature has, I wouldn't put anything past her. I am fond of the frond that looks a bit like a peacock tail. What about you? If you have any cool photos of leaves, send them my way!! If I use your inspiration in my stationery, I'll send you a copy of the card!!

1,000,000 Leaves - 233 and Counting!

204-233! (slowly but surely) (soon to be turned into stationery)

1,000,000 Leaves - Nos. 100-203

I am not a very precise person. I have dreams of drawing those botanical illustrations that you see in thick-papered pretty coffee table books. I am thinking my hands just don't do that. But we'll see - I have 999,797 more leaves to practice!! (These I drew in my sister's garden.) -Cherry Tomatoes – Approx. 15 leaves -Blue Plumbago – 9 leaves -Roma Tomatoes – 6 leaves -Marigolds – 16 leaves -Spearmint – Approx. 48 leaves -Little Pink Weed Flower – 10 leaves
