Pencil On Watercolour Paper

I really fell in love with using my beloved colored pencils on really textured watercolor paper.

I feel like the colors are so deep and I can layer like crazy, especially with the Prismacolor.

Sometimes I drag my heels on images because I am multi-passionate & can't decide on a medium.

 but now and then an image just scream on out

"I want to be done in watercolor...I want to be a lino cut...I want to be ink pen on board"

I love it when that happens and I try not to ignore the instinct.

A Kind Night

Here's that new image I am slowly plugging away on inspired by the Herons we see when kayaking.

I know unfortunately that Herons eat all kinds of creatures, so this image is called "A Kind Night"

Cup Of Sweet Framed Up

A happy customer recently sent me this photo (thanks SO much Jackie),

I absolutely LOVE how she had my image framed up for her tea room.

Doesn't it look so fabulous, espeacially with the 3 matts, I just love it.

You can have a similar look too cause my "Cup Of Sweet" image is in the shop waiting for you.

Feeling Quiet

Sometimes it's nice just to work & be creative & not worry about showing everyone on Instagram etc

what your doing every single day...there's power in the quiet, in the flow, in the secret-like stuff...

Chantilly Swish

Like mermaids?  or earth guardian type of characters?  than perhaps you'll like my latest

 

"Chantilly Swish"

 



I think she's atleast 3 different kinds of cool...prints of her will be in the shop by the end of the week.

Glitter Bug 11

Don't you love it? I do...maybe it's more of a moth...I don't know but I like him.

If your interested in the teeny tiny 3 x 3" original just send me an email.

Hummingbird & Snail

I made the cutest little hummingbird and snail recently...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hop over on Wednesday to see what mixed media they ended up on.

Bell Play

So Teela & I have been playing with some bells.

(and because I am a nice neighbor I took every single chime out so they are completely noiseless!!!)

 

We arranged the white bells with some driftwood collected from the beach

and slices from an old tropical plant that had long since died & dried out.

 



However, I am in agreement with my Tee-Tee that whilst we like the new bells & swags,

we no longer like the painted fence boards so next year we're gonna paint that section plain white.

 

What do you think?

Sometimes a simple crafty project is just what a perfect autumn day calls for.
