Three pages from my sketchbook

Brusho inks. The strips of striped paper - this was paper I used to protect the next page in my sketchbook for quite a few pages, hence all the colours. The flowers are real.

Brusho and a small doyley.

Envelopes made from recycled envelopes, the envelopes have envelopes as decoration.
These are the last pages of book 36.

Three Pages from a Sketchbook

The insect is made from a recycled envelope

I don't like the collage with the leaves, I did make the
 leaves with a fancy envelope but the colouring in covered the pattern too much. But the round decorative circles at the side are cute. They are some cheap little stamps bought from China via ebay.

Pages from my Sketchbook [Historically Inspired]

This tree illustration was based on an early medieval design, a stylised tree from a manuscript.

The face was taken from a motif on Anglo Saxon metalwork. The hair and beard is my addition, makes it look like a lion.

The bird shapes are from an early manuscript.

Pen liner, aquamarkers and brusho.

Dog and Swan, Pages from my Sketchbook

A page of text was collaged to the sketchbook then coloured with brusho. I drew the dog on top with aquamarkers and posca pens.

The lower half of the 'swan' was a found image, the top half was drawn on. I used brusho, aquamarkers, pen liner and posca pens.
