PAPER DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - Candy Coated Deer

My last sweet ornament for the season - introducing candy-coated deer. He'll be grazing on your licorice lawn while you're out for a spin in your candy convertible.

Daily Pattern : Time for a snack

For some reason I'm super excited about this pattern! I was thinking about how much fun it would be to peek at some deer in a really dense field of bushes. I'm sure this is the biggest, tastiest, most colorful buffet these deer have ever seen!
Here it is! My Deer pattern!



Also, on a personal note, I had my very first class of the semester on Friday AND IT WAS FANTASTIC! My students are amazing, they're super nice - and I am so glad to be back! I'm teaching digital illustration at MCAD this semester for the BFA program. (It'll be my 8th year teaching!) It was a total blast and set me up for this great weekend of inspiration and excitement. I've been a creative whirlwind these last couple days. I can't wait to share my new projects with you.

Daily Pattern: Spirit Deer

I figure I can't compete with Francesca and Lindsay's naturalistic deer-drawing capabilities. So instead I went a much more graphic route. I guess he's a deer spirit. See how he floats and glows? Like a deer spirit?

Daily Pattern: Forest Animals

I'm visiting my hometown for a little bit, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. One great thing about where I'm from is that every kind of animal literally lives in the backyard. It's usually white tail deer and chipmunks, but I've heard that there are a lot of fox this year and I'm hoping I'll see some.

Daily Pattern: Deer Quilt

Ira made this really lovely deer pattern. I'm still in the mood for autumn and winter, and seeing this really fit the craving. They have such beautifully gentle faces!

Daily Pattern: A Deer Family

We've been spending a lot of time walking around in the mountains, seeing the some of the most amazing natural things I have ever seen. Yesterday we ran into a family of deer, babies and all. After that I knew exactly what I wanted to make for (yesterday's) daily pattern.
