Friday Archives and Flittery Float Float

OK, so technically this is not an old image for my Friday Archives submission. I painted it about a year ago and found it while rummaging around looking for truly old work. The pattern on the dress is what I used to doodle on every page of every notebook during college. I would get bored in class and start drawing little shapes with even amounts of space in between. It was kind of like a puzzle and it passed the time. So at least part of the image is at least 17 years old in theory.

I also finished this floaty, flittery number ("Flittery Float Float" comes from a great children's book entitled Gallop! that uses scanimation to create moving images). I made the pattern myself and was inspired by a similar top I saw in Nordstrom's display window. I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out.

It's a sunny day and we're pretending it's summer with this flirty tank and shorts. I'll have to put Kumi in a sweater and pants in a couple of minutes.
