The Sketch Book

sea shells

Hello! So, I finnnaaally can cross going to the Hamptons off my life’s to do list. What a lovely place! So many fresh flowers at the farmers markets and tan relaxed people everywhere. And its about five million degrees cooler there than it is in the city. I can see what the hype is about. I shall return and often I hope!

One funny thing I noticed was there weren’t any shells on the beach. The shells above were inspired by my many years of visiting my grandmother’s beach house in Florida. There are so many shells there and more importantly sharks teeth! I spent hours as a little girl trying to find a sharks tooth among the shells to add to her well curated collection of years and years of combing the beach for sharks teeth.

Back to fashion illustrating tomorrow, just had to go on a little beach inspired tangent today.

  • Nice! I bet the Hamptons were a sweet relief. I love this, I remember collecting shells at my Grandmother’s in Florida too! Florida has the best shells. There’s not really shells in SoCal either, just mussels. This is so pretty though, I would hang it in my house of course! :)

  • This would make gorgeous stationery!

  • I agree with Lacey! This would be beautiful for a summer themed stationery or notecards!
