The Periodic Table of Elements

I spent a lot of time during all of my teenage years with this table. I found several slightly different versions of the table, but went with one and made it my own. Some elements may be different here compared to a copy that you may have, but remember that this is just an artistic interpretation. Each of the different colour combos are to categorize the elements by their type (ex. transition metal, noble gas etc).

Cruella De Vil

Dodie Smith's book, 'The 101 Dalmatians,' was one of my favourite books so read in school when I was younger. Even now it is still one of my favourite books to read. Though I like the visuals of Cruella popularized by Walt Disney, I wanted to do a different take on her and just keep that villainous attitude.

The Duchess

Part 4 of 'The Alice Series' is The Duchess. This is from Chapter 6, 'Pig and Pepper,' where Alice finds the Duchess, the cheshire cat, the cook and a baby who turns into a pig. The cook throws dishes around the room and is cooking with so much pepper that everyone is frequently sneezing. I love how calm the characters are described in this scene/situation in the book and I wanted to play around with the idea of having this family-style portrait in the midst of all this craziness.

The Fashion Citizen

Stephanie and Melissa of The Fashion Citizen are some of my favourite people to watch on YouTube! They are so creative, smart and talented - a real pleasure to watch and learn from. They focus on thrifting and styling the items that they find, and as a thrift fan myself, it's great to see other girls having fun with preloved clothes - and fashion in general! Their tips and DIY videos are very inspiring, too!

Lita

This was made in 2010, but it's one of my favourite pieces! 
I've been working on my website a lot lately and it's almost complete, I wanted to have this work on it, which it will be, but I thought I post it here as well now - sort of like a preview!

Gabby Douglas

Gymnastics is my favourite sport of the summer Olympics. I was really inspired by Gabby Douglas, representing Team USA. She is so talented, charismatic and excellent at her sport!
