Did you know that whales weigh 1 and 1/2 tons per foot? According to
Life Nature Library THE SEA by Leonard Engel and The Editors of LIFE, British scientists weighed a whale a piece at a time. I guess there isn't any way to weigh a whole whale at one time. I've always thought of whales as easy going and friendly. They seem to just float around and be generally content with life, but that's just the way I see it from where I'm standing. This piece I did using a lovely record slip-cover I found at Goodwill (favorite shopping place ever!) I've always loved the look of woodcuts and so that's what I was going for here. A little painstaking but definitely worth it!
This whale piece I did using a felt-tipped pen
Another t-shirt design!!! I had a lot of fun with this one, and I love making presants for my nephew. After having finished my red whale I thought I'd try it on for size and what better person to try it out than my nephew, who spent some time at his aunts' house.
It was a Happy day!

I love silhouettes! I did this one with an ink wash. A little looser than I intended, but I think it still turned out lovely.
My new interest is t-shirt designs. This is my first one and I just loved how it came out! The British flag and tea are two of my very favorite things. Hopefully the new t-shirts will be coming soon to http://happylooks.etsy.com/!!!.jpg)
