Playing around with sock monkey using Beate's weekend sketch challenge. I decided to pull out the sock monkey, since I did not use him in awhile.
The birthday one, I colored with markers. The one with the flower I did on watercolor paper and watercolor crayons. I was not as happy with the results, making me think I need some copics after seeing whatever one does with them!
And a sad note, I lost a good friend Liz to cancer last week, she was only 44 years old and had two young children. Sadly, we were only communicating at Christmas time as we got busy with our lives and children. So, as wake up call, I decided to reach out to some friends that I have not kept constant contact with anymore.
I challenge you to do the same, life is too short! Reconnect with a friend today :} And cards are great place to start.

I love that monkey! I need to think about water coloring him. I tend to cut him to pieces... Yours looks great and so much easier! Sorry to hear about your friend, it is so easy to loose track.

I think the monkeys came out great but share the feelings on the copics all the same. I am sorry to hear about your friend and I agree it is time to reach out and talk to people we haven't heard from in awhile!
