Hill House process and completion!

This one was taken via cell phone, so I apologize for the bad quality... but I decided to put in another hill in the background and experimented with layering pencil over ink, which I kind of like. The ink adds the structure and the pencil softens it up a little.

And here is the finished product:) I haven't used pencils in a long time. I think I like inkwash a little better, but that might be because I'm more accustomed to using it. This was fun for little change. My intentions were to make a place that is serene and safe and quiet. It looks like a lovely place to sleep with a cool summer breeze coming in through the window, the sounds of waves and maybe a little rumble of thunder in the distance.

I went to Emily's house and played with her baby goats:) The are adorable and bouncy and only tried to eat my sweatshirt once...

Claire and I went to the Cranbrook Thesis show. It was hard to tell which art was supposed to be interactive and which wasn't. We really wanted to sit on this pouf thing, but we didn't because we were afraid we weren't supposed to...

Claire and I went to play club euchre with our grandma after a long bike ride. Of course, she beat us both rather badly...

We got a new flat iron and my loving mother and sister absolutely insisted on straightening my hair... I don't think the end result is worth the time it takes...
