ice cream - creative tuesday

Well I have decided to join in with the creative and talented crew of Mr Toasts Creative Tuesday and pop in an illustration of my own.  I'm so excited about it, I have two.
The first one is one I did specifically but the second is one that my little girl and I did together for Creative Tuesday, when I first decided I would join in when I can. When I sat down to have a sketch in the lounge room and told her about the theme she sat with me and then the pencils and texta's came out and we had baby bear ready for uploading ( I did a little touch up in a few spots ) but many of the colours - especially the ice cream flavours ( strawberry and banana - her favourites) , choice of topping and lots of bits are hers.
Don't expect two too often - finding time for one is usually a drama for me. 

Babies first ice cream


I hope you enjoy these for now. Cheers Janet

  3. Hi Heather and Ted, thanks for the comments, I told my girl and she is very chuffed!
    I think the puppy will definitely get some ice cream, who could resist cute puppy dog antics?
    It is lovely doing art with my little girl Heather, we do it a lot. I must say though sometimes i am in the middle of something which is going really well and she offers to 'help' me by colouring in or adding bits and I have a little pang, but I always let her add her touches. I can always redraw things and I love her imagination and our creativity together.

  4. It's so important to let the little ones express their creativity, I remember how hard it was when mine were little, to let them do things the way they wanted to.
    Two gorgeous pictures, I think baby is lucky to hang on to his ice cream, our dog wouldn't have been so patient!

  12. Thank you so much everyone, apologies too for my late reply. I work full time as well as everything else so finding time to blog is sometimes a creative venture in its own right :-).
    The header is my work Betsy, the pink /yellow backdrop is a blogger template, I know i can put my own stuff up there; I just haven’t worked out how yet :-)
    I think i might have to keep that little puppy around; he certainly is a popular little fellow.
    Mr Toast, I find it hard but to get my illustrations up earlier as my Tuesday is your Monday and by the time I get home from work on Wednesday it must be late Tuesday for you, but I see how I go, I love comments! (Wow – I just reread that and it’s a strange sentence)
    Wow, what a lovely welcoming to creative Tuesdays! Thanks again to everyone who commented on my illustrations.
    Lovely to hear from you, as always, Cassandra.
