So this week I joined Pinterest. I know I’m awfully late to that party, but fashionably so I’d like to think! At any rate, I just started the habit-forming act of pinning things, and I do like that unlike other social media platforms, Pinterest seems less all about self-promotion. (So far, anyway! We’ll see about that a year from now.)
But right now, I’m enjoying looking at all the pretty things that inspire others, from pictures of girls with cotton candy colored hair to the latest “it” bags. And re-pinning all the best ones of course. My Pinterest page is here if you want to take a peek.
Meanwhile, my latest illustration is based on the act of “pinning,” and just for fun I made this a sort of self-portrait. The girl in this picture has my hair, similar features to me and even a red floral dress I just snagged on eBay by Free People. It’s a tad self-flattering, but I hope you can forgive me. (I’m only this tall in my dreams!) Anyway, if you’re in the mood to check out more art by other artists, please stop by Sophia’s for Sunday Sketches and Paint Party Friday.
I also have a favor to ask those who read this blog. Earlier this month, due to changes in Google policy I lost my Google Friend Connect feature and probably, most of my 175 Google followers. (This happened just as the company warned it would do to non-Blogger blogs–I recently switched over to WordPress.) So if you like this blog, please follow via Bloglovin’ (see icon on the righthand side of this blog) or via RSS (also see the right side of the blog.)
Many thanks!

Your drawings are lovely. They have a paper doll feel to them, which I always loved as a kid. Beautiful.
What a great illustrations! So many lovely things on her/your mind!
Great illustration, I really like your drawing style.
I am staying far away from Pinterest, in the name of staying focused and getting work done. I know my weaknesses.
I am having so much fun here! Your work is beautiful and I really like your piece based on the French woman – I’ve been hoping around following your links . . . Have not tried Pinterest yet myself – but this is making me want to! Thank you for sharing, Kristin xo

Beautiful illustration! They could very well use it for their own advertisement! :o)
I deleted some of my boards after reading how they could “sell” any uploaded image. I panicked. They changed that, but now any one can make a book out of the images…? yours or anyone’s. I don’t agree with that, so the only solution I think is having low resolution images and watermark as well.
Unless of course, the person doesn’t care, I guess
Woah I didn’t know that–about anyone being able to publish others’ work. You’re right–that isn’t fair at all. Good idea about the watermarks.
Hi Sabina,
I love your blog and your artwork. I am now follow your Pins on Pinterest!
Beautiful artwork! Im a follower on your pinterest now. Thanks for visiting my blog !
Lovely, great orange dress, very pretty. Greetings.
P.S. You can see my pin of your illustration here: http://pinterest.com/robanstudio/ Happy Pinning. 🙂
LOVE THIS!!! In fact I’m headed over to Pin It on my “Favorite Artists” board right now! I’m using my boards for inspiration and eye candy and yes a tiny bit of self promotion, as I see other artists doing the same thing. Have you heard of Wanelo? It’s like Pinterest, only you can self promote without feeling like a “W….” 🙂 Happy Late PPF!
Great illustrations!!
Great illustration! 🙂 I love pinterest, too. It’s pretty addicting. 🙂
I still don’t know what the point of pinterest is, but I joined. YOur gal is lovely, the dress is awesome. happy PPF

Pinterest is great! It’s my go to for craft, food, home decor and art ideas. I like that its’ about concepts and pretty and clever things and about sharing your love and your interests instead of self promotion, your illustration is beautiful, it captures pintersst perfectly.

Lovely dress and bangles. She has a cool, chic poise and dreams of pretty clothes shoes, pets. Pinterest seems to be catching on nowadays, though I don’t know much about it. Thank you for visiting me and commenting.

Your self-portrait has such a casual air and flowing lines.
