little childhood obsessions......

ha!! seeing these all together are really making me smile. it brings back memories. :-)

as i said in yesterday's post, these are NOT my original childhood drawings but i tried to re-create them from memory. the last image is a new "grouping" i did specially for this post. i drew and re-drew these all the time, and my best friend jayme recalls and said yes!,......all the time. we got a laugh out of it..... :-)

now as far as the inspirations, i'm doing a series of paintings based on these little drawings. i've got one finished and i'll update again once i've got a couple more finished. i'm also working on a series of strawberry shortcake paintings (again inspired by my childhood doll collecting). i've got four ready to post. i'll do that tomorrow after they dry....so cute!!!

  6. so sweet!
    When I was at school me and my friend used to draw comic strips, he'd draw a bit, then I would, then him again and we kept it going for the whole class (especially history) I guess thats why i'm not well educated lol... too much time drawing! ;)

  8. these are so sweet... am looking forward to seeing the paintings.

    I had a strawberry shortcake doll... she fell in the fish pond and I never found her (I think the fish ate her, they were probably attracted to her lovely smell).
