Drawings of Moai and Reindeer

I went away to Lisbon and Sintra in Portugal for a few days over the New Year. I was going to post a few photos but I accidentally deleted all 450+ them [don't ask]. They are still on my phone so I'll upload them again.
The above is a drawing of the moai or statues of Easter Island.
Below are drawings of deer copied from the book '20 Ways to Draw a Cat and 44 other awesome animals' by Julia Kuo.
I think I've drawn most of the deer before, perhaps I should find the old sketchbook out to see if I've improved my drawing skills or got worse?

Dogs









I wanted to refresh my drawing skills so thought I would copy all the drawings in the book '20 Ways to Draw a Cat and 44 other awesome animals' by Julia Kuo. I have used this book in the past but have usually copied the easy looking drawings or the ones that appealed to me most. As a challenge I am aiming to draw all the animals in the book even if they look complicated.

Pages 59-67 from Sketchbook 47

I love this rabbit, I copied it from a greetings card.


After doing the background I applied a thin card cut out - cut on my Zing

This is the cut out

Ideas for a felt mobile

Imagine Art Quilt

My quilt will be shown at The Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, from tomorrow, 
6th -9th August.
The picture is a collection of my doodles and art work put together around a tree (with faces). The piece is called 'Imagine' as many of the quirky drawings are from my imagination. Follow the squirrels and vampire rabbit's tails to see what is at the end.
The fabric was printed by Spoonflower on cotton silk and was hand quilted with back stitch and running stitch. Beads have been added in places.
