Bamboo FUN!

Hello, it's time to post some things!

First off, this one needs some explaining.  My boyfriend wanted to get me some customized Keds shoes from Zazzle.  I am a bird lover, as shown by the title of my blog.  I have two Cockatiels (who will probably end up featured in my art), so these Cockatiel Shoes seemed appropriate.  The shoes are adorable!  Props to Zazzle designer BadSnorful.  I think the birds know I'm posting about this because as I am writing they are singing away!

The catch to the shoe purchase was that I design something for the side of the shoe that didn't already have a design.  So, here's what I came up with using some of my newly downloaded brushes etc:

Second: Here is a rough Van Gogh's Starry Night that I cranked out as practice getting coordinated on the Wacom graphic tablet.
