Sticky

No bubblegum popping here. No sticky buns. No post-it notes. What other things are sticky?
Straight pins! One of the key tools a seamstress uses are straight pins. Way back in a previous life, I used to sew--making a lot of my clothes. At the pinnacle of sewing life, I made a tailored blazer from a designer Vogue pattern--complete with a perfectly notched collar, pad-stitched roll lines on the collar & lapel, and bound buttonholes.
I drew the pin cushion from sewing kit using Painter IX--pen and digital watercolor. I assembled the digital collage in Photoshop.

Body Parts
This illustration began as a quick pic from my cell phone camera while I was getting a pedicure. I used Photoshop to alter the image, including some neat brushes from 555design.
Does any woman ever really like her own feet? Having someone else take care of them is a wonderful treat. I'm glad my feet never got seriously deformed from the absurd shoes that women wear in the hopes of being "sexy."
