Patterns, Bluebells and Landscape



The three above were created on my tablet as well as the drawing part of the image below. A few different photos were inserted into the spaces.

Flowers, Creatures and Biscuit

A friend brought me this cute biscuit back from a trip to Japan.
It was a wafer with a choccy centre.

In my garden at the moment I have lots of bluebells.


I don't know what these lovely pink flowers are called

and pink bluebells

I don't normally like to see snails, but this little one was quite cute.


This wasp spent a long time, more than a day crawling around on this orchid but I found it dead on the soil the morning after.

Bluebells and Changedoll

These are from a long sketchbook [16" x 8"] I started a while ago for the culture project but I didn't do much in it. I painted bluebells yesterday, there are a lot of them around at the moment. The drawing below I did sometime ago [I usually put the date on a book when I start it but I didn't on this one]. But I started with the first Russian doll-like figure then altered something on the next, then altered something else on the next and so on. Like morphing but not on a computer.

Six pages from Sketchbook 26 [Brusho]

Quick doodles and paintings from my sketchbook. I used Brusho colours for these - if you have not used Brusho's they come in powder form and are mixed with water. A little goes a long way but they do stain and being the messy person that I am, I usually have dirty fingers for a few hours. I make up little bottles ready to use, I find I don't make quite as much mess that way. 

 also pen and a collaged ticket


also an orange biro - cheers!

a biscuit cutter for the shape and wax crayon

I painted the flowers separately and collaged them on the background.  also used a pen, wax crayon and textured on the background and promarkers on the flowers.

Trees and Frogs


These are two drawings I did quite a while ago but I don't think I ever posted pictures of them.

Frog under a Spotty Toadstool Fabric


Remember my frog shelter series? I've altered this one to put on a t-shirt [or could be anything else they sell] at the Zazzle store.
Click here to see him on a t-shirt 

I altered this frog a few weeks ago to make a fabric design for a Spoonflower competition - I didn't win. The fabric is not for sale at the moment but it could be, I only have to order a swatch to check it out, then Spoonflower would sell it. See here.

This was the original watercolour from my sketchbook
The flowers were originally white but I thought the bluebells would show up better. I also added a little rhyme after scanning.

Butterflies and Harebells


The butterflies and flowers is a lovely image from The Graphics Fairy. The flowers I've coloured in places and I've arranged it on one of my hand painted rolling stamp backgrounds.

Pretty Flowers


These flowers [don't know what they are?] put on a lovely show in a pot in my garden this year, their colour is amazing.
I've also had lots of bluebells this year too, not always growing where they should.
And these tiny wild violets were scattered about my lawn looking very pretty [the word lawn is perhaps stretching it a bit - there are more weeds and moss than grass!]
