3rd Grade Rocks....

So every year, since my 8 year old was in Pre-School, I've created a doodle / drawing of her.  I don't think of it as a caricature so much as how she would look if she was an illustration in a children's book.  The funny thing is that if I don't put too much effort or think too had about the image, it usually turns out to capture her!  I'm not sure what she will think of the above image!  I'm awaiting her approval on this current one!  The hardest thing to capture is the little glee that is always in her eye... I'll let you know if she approves or would like to see revisions! 

I'll also do (and post) one of my four year old.  The nice thing about my 4 year old is she pretty much likes anything I draw, whether it's my interpretation of her or a dolphin... it's allllll about the dolphins and images of dolphins right now!  She can't get enough dolphins!  I love that! 

Once the images are complete I create everything from note cards, school cards, book marks, nice framed art for their rooms, etc. etc!

Free China Girl bookmark for you!

Click and drag to desktop to print!  I often try to make very general images but I also base many an image on my own 8 year old.  Reading is very, very big these days so I have created a bookmark for her...that I'm smiled to learn that she also uses to write notes to girlfriends!  Oy!  Well, at least she's not using a phone or texting... hopefully that's way-O-way in the future!  Enjoy!

Valentines Printables

Okay, so here's my goal!  I plan to u/load some charming free Valentine Printable in the next day or so!  Something simple n' sweet that you can print for your little one's to pass around.  So, either follow my Vanity Cases Art & Humor Facebook page for an art alert, or this blog, or just click on back when you get a moment!  I'll try to make something fun that could be used by a girl or boy!

Sister Love

I so know that most of you come on by here for free art which I really, really enjoy creating.  I also try to regularly create items that can be customized for my ChinaGirlLove and VanityCases on line stores, but I must say; the my Ladybug and Daisy have not been respecting my "To Do" list these days!  I always say I work a full-time job in pockets of time and there are waves when I need to accept the best thing I did on a given day was make the two little sillies smile!  My girlies have kept me busy!

Soooooo with that being said, I'm rolling up my sleeves and clearing the drawing board and will post something in the next day or so that you can print from this site!  Frankly, I'm thinking a "Try to do" list will be the

Charming China Girl Book Mark

Click n' Print
You can print these charming China Girl bookmarks on a single page of 8.5 x 11 paper, one of two ways.  You can click on the image and it will appear larger whereupon you print.  Or, you can right click and slide the image on to your desktop to print.  I printed at 97% of the size of the full image which is something you can adjust when you print.  At 97% no part of the image is cut off of the printing area.
I left room for notes ... because I'm always taking notes when I read of information, websites or this or that.   I use bookmarks for everything I read from mags, to tabloids, to actual books!  If you'd like to look at more lil' ol' charming China Girl and Boy images take a look art in my on-line ChinaGirlLove store!   Enjoy!
