Series: Little House Portraits #001 Anyone who has followed this blog for any length of time will be well aware of my enjoyment of trying different things... different crafts, different mediums, different styles. I love my Copic markers and will always come back to them, but I would be bored senseless if they were my… Continue reading Little house: Rookery Lane

Bunnies with heart
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #30 And finally, we reach the last of the art cards I coloured for the last Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Probably just in time for the next one to start. It's really satisfying ending up with a neat stack of finished artworks about the size of a… Continue reading Bunnies with heart
Delaunay-Holdsworth
The guest instructor for week three of the Wanderlust "inspired by another artist" theme was Tanyalee Kahler (website, Instagram). A severe lack of energy means that I have done very little creative work over the last couple of months; if it didn't have to be done (like the two birthday cards), then it didn't get done.… Continue reading Delaunay-Holdsworth

I liked the image of the girl sitting on the pile of books with her kitty, but for some reason it never called out to be the next one coloured and even… Continue reading Story time
Horace & Boo
Series: The Daily Marker Art Card #26 I’ve reached that point in the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge where the colour-picking bit of my brain is starting to struggle; I am trying hard to avoid falling back on standard colour choices, especially for critters. My first instinct for this was to do a ginger kitty,… Continue reading Horace & Boo
Textured flowers
And we were back with Anneliese Bates (Instagram) for the last week of the Wanderlust "floral" theme. I'd seen people mention using glue guns to create stencils before but the technique never made it anywhere near the top of my "things I must try" list. Although I have managed to shake off the worst of… Continue reading Textured flowers
