EDM Challenges - #6 and #101

Two more challenges complete! Take a look...

EDM Challenge #6 "Draw your favorite well-loved object... or childhood toy". Well, VaaVaa is a puppet I got when my son was only 2 or 3 years old. He and I played quite a bit with VaaVaa, until Sean got old enough to play with other, newer toys.
VaaVaa went on the shelf.
We just recently found VaaVaa, and I realized what a precious time it was when we played... So VaaVaa is very well-loved!

The next challenge is #101, "Draw a bar of soap". This was part of a birthday gift. It smells wonderful!!

Lovely sketch of Vaa Vaa the lion - I bet he likes being rescued from a drawer and becoming an artist's model.

Oh VaaVaa is wonderful... I think this drawing of him is really what journalling is all about. Capturing what really matters.... Jules.

I love VaaVaa. It is so special when we can capture these family memories in our journals. Has your son seen the journal page?

Both of these drawings are fabulous, Shirley! I particularly like Vaa Vaa. I used to have a collection of my favourite toys from when I was growing up. Your drawing brought back some wonderful memories. Thanks fr sharing!

Great drawings of both Vaa Vaa and the soap -- I really love your use of line and color.

These are both lovely, but I especially love the loose style of VaaVaa! well done.

What great journal pages! I love both drawings and their colours.

Excellent job on the soap. I like the looseness and vibrant colors (without being circus). Also, the pen adds a lot without being noticeable. Your blog is CLAAAASSSSSSSSSSy. Is this a blog, or a web-site? It's really nice.
