Illustration Friday-- Beneath

Before looking, place your hands securely over your ears and repeat after me:  "LALALALALALALALALA!", or YOU might end up beneath the sea!


Here's the rest of the alphabet:


And the final result as cross-stitch:

 So long, Summer-- catch ya on the flip side!

  10. Yowza! I could never stitch all that-- I tried it once and crashed and burned. But hallelujah!-- there are people who do! It's a symbiotic relationship-- I paint, you stitch, we're both happy. :)

  13. Hey LALALALALALA.......Krista! Whew! I'm still here....! You must fall asleep at night with the alphabet running through your head on different topics. I don't know how you do it! My fave is still the names of Jesus... But this one is a very close second. I've always loved any kind of sea animal. Your artwork is amazing! I'm going with the crab as my favorite. Hey I love the new seasonal header...ADORABLE!! That ghost has got some fantastical curly-cues going on there! Missed your autumn and stink bug works. Great stuff! You are a wiz with colors!
