Glitter Among the Grit

Drawing with fine point Sharpie and watercolor. Different from anything I have ever done. I saw an image in a magazine of an old woman and decided to use the light box to trace it.

Weaving and Eleanor Roosevelt

These are both pieces that I did a while back. The top piece is a weaving project that our teacher assigned. I added spray adhesive in hopes of sealing the project but it went terribly wrong and the pieces ended up all tangled and tattered. It took me over 2 weeks to weave all of the tiny strips of paper together, and it was ruined! Oh well, the other piece is an incremental gradient portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt. Again, it took me a pretty long time to do. I am not crazy about either of these pieces, but I figured that I would upload them anyway.
