I saw a Mouse

A giant mouse in the kitchen at Cragside

Three Mice

I used the inside of a used envelope for the mice, if you look closely you will see the pattern is of winged lions.

Animal and Bird Collages

Collages - these include found images of animals and either watercolour background or brush pen backgrounds.

More Sketchbook Doodles and Texture Plate

More doodles from sketchbook 14

The two above were drawn with pens and brush pens, for the one below I used paints as well. I also used a wallpaper texture plate to print to start with. [blue paint]

To make a texture plate simply glue a piece of textured wallpaper to board as shown below. Apply paint and then put your paper on top and press down with a roller to transfer the design. 

This is a print from the texture plate

The Sketchbook Challenge

The theme for February's sketchbook challenge is 'opposites'. The top picture is about size - large elephant and small mice [although mine look quite large for mice] and the bottom one is light and dark i.e. black and white.
