How I Became a Bug

My first project after baby, creating a portrait for myself to go on the Story Book Bugs website.  I've actually tried hashing this out for a while with mixed results.


I was trying too hard. I decided to start over and keep it simple. And I got this:
I LOVE her! After playing around with color choices for a bit...


(these are completely blown out by my scanner, btw)
I decided to go with the orange version, considering how many orange creatures I have on my blog and website.  Might as well be consistent!  I then took the plunge and got out the waterproof ink and watercolors. I'm pretty happy with the final result.

Soon the Story Book Bugs will have a gallery of bug portraits. It should be fun!
