A few arts

[balaa]

Got another card for the kennel Club Deck, the Brittany Spaniel. I used to groom a few of them back when I worked at a grooming shop, very sweet dogs..a few of them had a very proud/haughty demeanor..but I liked them for that.

Also finished or rather/almost finished the leopard painting and planning another painting, not sure of what just yet.

OOH and does anyone know of a good place where I can buy cheaply priced but good quality mat board?? I need to start matting pieces for AC and I really don't want to pay the outrageous prices of mat board at Michaels. So if anyone has websites or good places to go in Washington state, I'd greatly appreciate it!




Brittany Spaniel winning best in show..he looks rather proud. Came up with that sketch at 3 am this morning..


The finished leopard piece..the photo desaturated some of the colors..but I shall take better pictures tomorrow and tweak things that are bugging me. Piece will be called 'I Will Protect you'..roughly 10.5 x 13 inches


And an ambigram concept for the back of the kennel club deck..they will likely not use it but I had fun designing it nonetheless. Hopefully you can read that it says 'TheKennelClub'

I love that Spaniel sketch! The look on his face is priceless. :) It's as if he's thinking "Aw yeah! You know I'm the best". XD

The leopard picture is lovely as well! That little baby is so adorable. :D

As for matting boards...I'm afraid I can't give you might info on that. I know that Hobby Lobby sells pre-cut mat boards. However, I'm sure that they're probably as expensive (if not more so) than Michaels. :( I remember my Drawing 1 professor teaching us how to make our own mat boards...but I've long since forgotten. ^^"

We don't have Hobby Lobby's in Washington state but that does remind me that she could also check out college campus bookstores. They generally have pre cut mats for a decent deal. They aren't ever acid free or anything but very cheep.

Ah! That's true. I didn't think about the colleges possibly having some. I think I remember looking at my college for something like matting boards but, unfortunately, they didn't have anything. :( I guess it doesn't help much either when your college cuts down the art department funding to nearly zilch. >_

Very true!

Hey there friend!

You tiold her just what I was going to suggest! I know all the coolege around her have their own stores and the prices they have are very competative.

Also when I was attending college in Eastern Washington all there colleges were I was at had their own stores and again the prices were very good!

So yes this is avery good suggestion!

BTW I was just wondering if you would mind if I added you to my friends list? I have been watching you comment for sometime on other friends journalsand you seem to be a very cool fun, friendly, person so I thought i would ask before just randomly adding you! I think this is so rude and wrong in many ways myself!
