I know pride is a sin...

But I am just so darn proud of these that I had to share. I just finished up an art class through my degree program and I worked REALLY hard on all of the projects for the class and I feel like I did a really good job.

My tree. I had a really tough time drawing it but I love the way it turned out.

This is my collage. I picked a complementary color scheme of orange and blue. I love my butterfly fish! This assignment was so much fun, and I've made a couple of other collages just because.

This is my sea scape. I love my shark and all the fish hiding from him trying not to get gobbled up!! Notice the little sea turtle down in the bottom left.



This last project is my pride and joy. The assignment was to make an art project with at least 15 hours worth of work involved that represents a struggle or a conflict that you've gone through/are going through in your life. I decided to use the sturggle trying to be patient in waiting to start a family and my photography to create an ABC book, and this is the result. I put my heart and soul into the pictures and I love, love, LOVE the way it turned out. Here are some of my favorite pages.

The Cover. I love polka dots!!

O is for Orange, P is for Puppy, S is for Shoes, and T is for Temple!

I loved finding things that really meant something to us. I want our children to love the Temple (and of course the San Diego Temple) as much as we do, so of course it was an obvious choice for T. I used also used Hockey for H and our wedding Rings for R.

D is for DADDY!! (Someday)

M is for MOMMY!!! (Someday)

I've been thinking about selling them custom designed ABC books... what do you think? If anyone is interested just email me.
