PBJ Choice: Dandelion

I thought I'd share a page from my sketchbook today. Dandelions have been a reoccurring theme for me this summer. They have made their way into my beads, jewelry and now they are sneaking into my drawings.

Here is one of my dandelion beads. There are many illustrators who have day jobs, I'm happy that mine is making beads and creating jewelry. The task is to find the balance between working full time and making time for illustration. I find I always have time to work on things I love. The challenge is to keep motivated when there isn't a deadline!
