Whooo's Ready For The Big Reveal?."Owl Only Have Eyes For You."

"Owl Only Have Eyes For You"   by Joni Nickrent   copyright 2011
"Owl" admit...I'm totally stuck on the moon and big eyed characters, but can "who" can resist the inspiration of such fantastical fun?! A cute and cuddly bright eyed owl and a curly haired blond sweetheart are quite a pair...what a mesmerizing stare!

Heading Home...Hong Kong Airport...A Little Stretch and Sketch Time

Sketch by Joni Nickrent   copyright 2011
My dolly development trip has come to an end for this time around and I'm officially heading back to the good ole USA! I just arrived at the Hong Kong Airport with some time to catch a little stretch time...which is always a good thing considering it's a 14+ hours flight and also was inspired to do a little sketching too...which ended in this blog...that I can actually post using blogger and not my phone! Happy Dance...boy have I missed my social networking! LOL!
Hope you can stand another big eyed sweetHEART sketch.  Seems I'm stuck on the big eyes and fun furry pals! Her two little friends just happen to have a little heart on a string as well...guess I'm thinking home is where my heart is!

Catch you in a few!

Catch A Super Moon...19th March 2011...Moon Gazing Pop Art Mini Style

"Super Moon Gazing"  close up    by Joni Nickrent    copyright 2011
a good moon gazing and tonight the moon will be as close to earth has it has been in 18 years appearing approximately 15% bigger,  and could appear to be about 30% brighter than normal. Inspired by such a Moon-umental event I just had to create a Pop Art Mini to celebrate! I'll pretend that's me in the picture holding the star balloon and doing some "up close and personal" moon gazing with a couple cute little friends!

Playback...And Then On To The Next Adventure!

Whew! What a crazy and fun weekend! The QVC doll shows were amazing!
In case you missed the shows you can check out the Q online for video playbacks of many of the dolls (that are still left) on-air presentations!
Here's a look at what you'll find as Little Lovey (one of my faves) is presented by Marie. For the On Air Presentation of this doll check HERE!
Or CLICK HERE for more wonderful dolly shares on the Q!
A Big Thanks to all the amazing dolly friends who made it all worth the trip!
Now it's time to head back home to get ready for the next adventure...sitting at the airport waiting to board as I type!
I'm looking forward to getting back in the office so I can begin the "jumbo-sized" preparation for the dolly development trip to China...it's coming up quickly.  So little to do and so much time! No, wait, strike that...So much to do and so little time! (yeah, cliche' I know, but I couldn't resist).
Hopefully I'll get some Pop Art Mini time in this week too...I have alot of ideas swirling around in my head and I need to get them on paper.  And I've already started planning for next Friday's Free Printable...did you get last week's?  If not you can still grab it here!
So until later...stay safe and enjoy all of the adventures in your life!
Live! Laugh! Soar!

Oh, and don't forget to check back tomorrow when I post the winner of the FREE DOLLY Giveaway! Wonder who the lucky ducky will be?

I'm Done! I'm Done! "Bruno Bear And The Moon" . . . Dreamy!

I have an obsession with the moon and when I heard the song by Bruno Mars called "Talking to The Moon" well, I fell head over heels!  It's about this guy who's in love and every night he sits and talks to the moon about that special person that he's in love with...hoping that she might be listening on the other side of the moon...sigh...dreamy and such a great love story kind of thing! I'm gonna vote that she is listening. 
Anyway, inspired by Bruno's song I had to create my version of "talking to the moon", in Pop Art Mini form of course!
So here's "Bruno Bear and The Moon" hanging out, talking and ready to share his heart with a love, hopefully on the other side of the moon!


Want a peek at the start to finish progression . . . here you go!

The mini-mini sketch...post it notes do come in handy! hehehe

Sketch on the 12"x12" Paper Canvas...waiting for pops of color!

The color and outlining has begun.

Mooning, oops, I mean moving right along...more color!

Every shade of blue...add a little yellow...how about some orange and green too...sure why not!

Color is complete and it's time to start the blending

Blending stick going in to create some soft detail.

The eyes have it . . . outlining has begun

A few more bold black outlines and we're just about over the moon!

Yep, that will do it...signing off!

I'm Done! I'm Done! "Bruno Bear And The Moon"

Hope Your Day Is Filled With Dreams, Love and A Little Talking To The Moon!
