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
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.

My first instinct for this was to do a ginger kitty,… Continue reading Horace & Boo
