Squirrel, Rabbit and Doodlewash

This is from an A3 sketchbook, ink drawing, watercolours.

The Doodlewash challenge drawings are in a tiny book by comparison. 4"x 4"

Day 3 Gingerbread

Day 4 Bells. 

I painted the background blue but then decided I wanted it darker, but I think I prefer blue after all.

It's Paint Party Friday!

Random Paintings and T-Shirt

 I tried to copy from photographs for the deer above and the two paintings below but was disappointed with how they turned out. Stick to my usual style or practice more?

My daughter asked if I could decorate 3 t-shirts with vintage 79 as she and two friends were celebrating 40th birthdays. I cut the numbers and letters out of heat transfer vinyl on my digital cutting machine. They were then ironed onto the t-shirts.

I'll not be posting for a couple of weeks or so but I'll be back.

Where's the Chimp?

Another page from sketchbook 61. 

I started with an ink drawing then painted with watercolours.

Happy Paint Party Friday

Crochet Bunny

 I finished the little bunny, it's not the neatest crochet you will have seen but I am pleased because I managed to follow a pattern. Well almost. I put the head on the wrong way round. The instructions for full completion were not all together so I missed something. I had read it previously but then forgotten it at a crucial time. Still I don't suppose the baby will notice. I got the pattern from the book Edward's Menagerie by Kerry Lord.

Richard the Bird and Cat and Rabbit Cuts

First I have a digital postcard to show you. The writing on the left is a quote from Richard 11 [1595] and was written in an old lined book [by me]. The writing on the right was on the original postcard but I removed what was on the left hand side. The stamp and postmark were added as well as the birds which were from the Naturalist Library.

 Two more animals I designed and cut on my KNK Zing Air cutting machine. They were just test cuts so I reused some old card [subject dividers originally]

I've remembered that is Friday and will join in Paint Party Friday where you can see more arts and crafts or join in.

Gift Exchange

I met up with the arty girls at the weekend for a meal out and exchange of handmade gifts and cards.

The lovelies I received were a box of cakes - these were made from paper and the lid lifted to reveal little presents - buttons, glitter, chocolate, washi tape.

A handmade book with various types of paper pages and a cover with real leaves. Also a hand cut bird tag.

A handmade book - this one is a weekly planner. Each page was personalized and printed with to do lists, diary, shopping list, doodles etc

A gift to come at a later date

I made and gave 3D layered pictures. Designed in my sketchbook, tweeked on the computer and cut on my Zing Air. I used various cards and papers and also painted the layers which were then put in shop bought frames with glass fronts. The glass made it difficult to photograph because of other things reflected in it. Three of the frames are white although they look blue, the other is black.

I found the dragons as clip art.
