MOST embarrassing Mom moment: My kids were homeschooled, part way through their education we tried out a new type of school. It held classes once a week for homeschoolers to attend together. It also provided individually scheduled tutoring sessions for kids needing extra help. I made appointments for my son to attend these sessions, however, I was so accustomed to being at home that I constantly forgot to show up. It happened more times than I care to admit. 🙈 Finally, after standing up the tutors countless times, I decided to pull up my big girl socks and get him there. 👊 The next morning I rushed around like a mad woman trying to head out the door on time. I had planned to go in with him, and apologize in person for missing so many sessions, but I chickened out. 😂 When it came time to pick him up I rallied the courage to face them. Entering the school I caught sight of my nine year old... Apparently, in my rush to get out the door, I had failed to give him a once over. His hair was sticking, unbrushed, all over the place. He had dried breakfast food plastered all around his mouth. His shirt was filthy and covered in pet hair. Worst of all is that I saw he wasn’t even wearing any socks 🧦... It was the middle of winter. ❄️😬❄️ The teacher explained that his feet had gotten so cold they’d put an area heater for him beneath the desk to keep him warm. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was beyond embarrassed! 😅 Frantically mumbling my way through an apology, I ran, heading home as fast as I could. The minute I walked in the door, my husband looked at me and asked, “Honey, what’s all over your chin?” I dove for a mirror. The chocolate protein bar I’d downed before I had picked up my son had left dark evidence. Yep, I went into the school, to get my son, with chocolate all over my chin. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 . Now this story has nothing to do with my Arwen drawing, it just made me laugh the other day, and I wanted to share. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Any embarrassing moments you’d like to share with me in the comments below? 😁🙏 . . . #inktober #inktober2018 #lordoftherings #aragorn #arwen #arwenandaragorn #otp #tolkien #gondor #kingofgondor #illustratorsoninstagram #copics #inked #traditionaldrawing Favourite unfinished book series? The ONE that you’re the most desperate for??? . I don’t think I’m particularly desperate for any right now, I have too many different books on the go atm to think about more. 😂 Normally I’m so good at just sticking with one book and reading it through, but lately I have been starting them, putting them down, and starting another. 🙈😂 Do you ever do this? . I love this feature of my Caraval art by @midsummernightsread - it’s so simple and beautiful! 👌🏻💕 . Art was inspired by the beautiful @stephanie_garber ‘s lovely Caraval series. 🧡 . . . . #stephaniegarber #caraval #legendary #scarlettdragna #bookcharacter #illustrationartists #bookfanart Tell me your favourite LOTR character? Why do you love them?🧝🏻‍♂️ . After all the recent book boyfriend/girlfriend talk I had to repost my Faramir. 🙈💕What can I say, he just deserves to stay at the top of my account. 😬🤷🏻‍♀️ . Okay now don't panic, I do love the movies, but feel as though they did not quite do Faramir justice. So this is my book inspired version of him! Take a second to read the excerpts from the books that I included below. 👇I LOVE how Tolkien writes him! 💘*SWOON*💘 . . "He read the hearts of men as shrewdly as his father, but what he read moved him sooner to pity than to scorn. He was gentle in bearing, and a lover of lore and of music, and therefore by many in those days his courage was judged less than his brother's. But it was not so, except that he did not seek glory in danger without a purpose. ... ...a tall man with a fair and noble face, dark-haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance... ... Here was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Elder Race. [...] He was a captain that men would follow, [...] even under the shadow of the black wings." . ~ Tolkien . . . . #Faramir #lotr #lordoftherings #lotrfanart #fanart #tolkien #illustratorsoninstagram #handdrawn #illustrated #instaart #art #jrrtolkien #jrrtolkienquote One more look at our WIP sneak peeks! 😍 We are EXCITED to announce that we reached our minimum quota for the ‘From Words to Art’ package! 🎊🎉🎊We need to send out a HUGE thanks to everyone who supported our art via this collaborative endeavour.

I mean it, ONLY ONE! 😁😜 . If I’m choosing only ONE 😆, mine would be Faramir from Tolkien’s LOTR. Not the movie version of Faramir though, the BOOK version only! If you take a peek back in my gallery, I did a painting of him shortly before my arm was injured. I wrote all my reasons for loving him there. Yes, I am serious about my love for Faramir. 🙈💕😂 I might even repost him one day soon. 😏 . These first two beautiful features were created by my rep @iam.caryn ❤️👌🏻❤️ .
