Skunk

I've never seen a skunk in real life but here I've been having a go at drawing them

Rabbits at Alnwick

These lovely trees and flowers were at Alnwick Gardens.

And there were lots of cherry trees in bloom.

Rabbit drawing practice.

I saw a Mouse

A giant mouse in the kitchen at Cragside

Busy Bird

I drew this ink drawing in a large A3 sketchbook

then I chose a part of it

and painted it digitally on the computer

then I 'messed' about with it to make it it into a repeating pattern which could be used for fabric, gift wrap or wallpaper.

Buffalo at Large

Watercolour Painting and Bibs

Coaster, Gelli Prints, Drawings, Flowers

I had my first attempt at foundation paper piecing, a coaster made from some leftover scraps.

I had read that everyone makes mistakes when they first try this but I thought I would be careful. They were right, I made mistakes.

Some gelli plate printing. I did do more than these two sheets but these were best of the bunch. I've been cutting up and collaging in a little book which I'll show at a later date.

Practicing drawing bugs with ink pens in a handmade sketchbook

We've a lot of these popping up in the garden at the moment, they must be spreading because I've not planted that many. It's nice to see a bit of colour in the garden.
