Silhouettes: Henry

"Henry"
Done with tea and dye.
I was trying something new, and I'm pleased with the outcome. Instead of drawing on the flowers and vines, they are tattooed into the paper with a quill pen and dye. I hope to frame this and maybe sell prints for you all to enjoy it too :]

More to come I'm sure.


In other news, I'm currently listening to the Kings of Leon. I just love this guy's voice and the great arrangements of the songs. :]

And in my AP English class, we are currently reading Ethan Frome <3

Have a lovely evening my sweet little mittens, xoxo.

IF: Instinct

Watercolor and dye

Another quick sketch out of my notebook. Ellie the elephant is playing with a butterfly. She loves Spring time.

IF: Celebrate


Celebrate the arrival of Spring.

Watercolor and ink.

Home at last.

Well, after four days in Savannah, I'm back at home.
I loved every minute of it. The people... the places... SCAD... all of it. Wonderful. :]
I took over 300 pictures but only uploaded like 19, lol. If you would like to see them, take a look at my flickr. (clicky-click for the pics)

But anyway, we took a tour of SCAD and I seriously fell in love. I want to do something with web design and illustration, so we made sure to look at those departments and I must say, walking into the ill. building brought a little lump to the back of my throat.
It was the first time I actually found myself thinking "I can do this. I want to do this."

Savannah just fit my contradicting self so perfectly. The old city and buildings and shops and parks... well it all felt like a big city-- which I love. But it was slower paced, and sweeter than a city-- the reasons I like the south. And then, you drive 20 minutes from the city and there are these beautiful marshes and then the beach-- fills my want of lovely country side.

Over all, a very humbling and inspiring trip. I seriously am hopeful of going there for college, if not living there permanently.

In other news, I'm working on a new piece-- should be uploaded today or tomorrow-- of a little boy in celebration of Spring. :] It's my IF project for this week.
Watercolor, of course.

IF: Celebrate

Done with Watercolor, and Ink.

"They jeered and laughed at her..
simply because, she was not in control
of her own actions...
simply because, she was a puppet."

She celebrated afterward that it was finally over.
Tomorrow my family and I set off for a grand adventure to the lovely land of SCAD. We will be touring the school, and the surrounding area. I'll take lots of pictures, and upload them hopefully this weekend. :]

But in other news, I wanted to share a lovely gal I found recently:


Her music is fantastic, and I can't wait for her album to come out! :D "Passerby" is simply one of the prettiest songs I've heard in a long, long while.
And that *banner*! Oh, so cute! :]

Have a wonderful evening my mittens, <3.

Quick "Hello"


I’m Zie. I’m 17. I’m female.

I paint, draw, read, write, dance wildly and without style, need music like you need air, giggle madly, speak passionately, and work well under pressure.

I’ll be needing someone to hold my hand on this journey into the blog and business world. Volunteers would be wonderful :]

A quick mention, that yes, I am the child of the famous Cerri from the Little Pink Studio, and she is just as wonderful as you all believe she is. :]
