T-shirt Pillow! Illustration #37-43

T-Shirt Pillow Craft Idea!

 I came up with this fun kids craft idea, illustrated it, and sent it to a children's magazine.  This is such a fun easy project to do with any 5 year old and older!

 Use an old t-shirt or buy a new one and decorate it! 

Then cut off the sleeves and collier to make a square.

 Next cut off the corners of the square.

 Finally cut 1"- 1 1/2" slits into each side of the square. 

Now start tying the two squares together making sure to leave a hole for the stuffing. 

Stuff it and tie it shut! 

Tada! Now you have your own t-shirt pillow!

I'll Be Seeing You. Illustration #36

I painted this picture after a song by Billie Holiday called I'll Be Seeing You. I absolutely love that song. I love the verse "In that small cafe, the park across the way, the children's carousel, the chestnut tree, the wishing well. " I used acrylic paints on a canvas board. I took a really bad picture of the painting, I need to get a better one so it looks kinda weird. I just love this romantic scene I am really into love songs right now. 

Acrylic Illustration #35

Here is a picture I just recently painted last week. I call it Love. I used acrylics for the clouds and colored pencil and oil pastels for the birds. To add texture I first glued down ripped paper and then painted over it with acrylic paint. I took some pictures of clouds and wanted to paint them. Then thought I needed to add something else to the picture so I put the doves in front of the clouds.
