Birth Flowers

After finishing the 100 Day Project, I was understandably happy to have a little more freedom in my daily drawing.  I didn't have to draw an animal every day anymore.  

I still had the habit of drawing daily, though.  So I was free, but also felt a bit purposeless.  I have bigger projects I am working on, like the bug coloring book and a children's book written by a friend, but I found myself wanting a smaller series to help focus my daily drawing.

So I decided to focus on flowers, birth flowers actually. Most people know about birth stones, but not everyone knows that every month also has a flower.

I figured this project was appropriate to start in my birthday month, August.  So I started with that.

Then I jumped to November, as requested by my husband who will be turning 33 on November 16th

And then today I started in on October, since my little dude will be turning 2 on October 18th.

One thing I remembered about myself as I've been drawing these flowers is that ... I don't really enjoy drawing flowers.  I get bored with all the petals and leaves and such.

Which is interesting, because I generally enjoy drawing repetitive patterns.  Such as ...

But petals are different.  They are repetitive, but also each petal is individual and it's own unique challenge.  As opposed to a flat, geometric pattern which is more predictable.

Oh well, I've already committed, I'm seeing this through.  And I think they will make lovely little prints and cards.

Which month should I do after October?
