I’ve been meaning to make some art based on my photographs and I finally got around to it. Part of my motivation was being reminded about the Twitter Art Exhibit: it's an annual art show with artists of all calibres donating postcard-sized art which is then sold in aid of a particular charity. I have… Continue reading Tree gazing

A few years ago Stephanie Law released a colouring book filled with Succulent Dragons: a combination of, predictably, succulents and dragons. Each dragon has a full page design and a simpler portrait: this one is Bitter Aloe Fond of Frills (there's a full guide to all the dragons online). Copic markers: greens - G21, YG63,… Continue reading Just coloured: fond of frills
I have posted this little house before, but now it has been turned into a birthday card for my brother whose house this is a flattering portrait of. I wasn't planning on using it like this — though it would definitely have ended up being given to him at some point — but I just… Continue reading House portrait – update
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
And following quickly on the heels of my brother's birthday comes an easier birthday to make for. Easier because this is one birthday — my other half's sister — where I can repeat the general theme without worrying that it won't be appreciated. Bunnies! And this is a particularly cute bunny. I did the colouring… Continue reading Cute bunny
I had printed out the gerbera image in preparation for a previous Daily Marker colouring challenge and it had been lurking in the pile of printed digi stamps ever since. I didn’t colour it with the intention of making a Mother’s Day card, but I was so happy with it once it was finished that… Continue reading Mother’s Day gerbera
Well, five days in and I haven't given up yet 🙂 And I've completed one card and done the colouring for another so that's definite progress on the Christmas card list. I say that like I actually have a final finished list of cards I have to make, whereas, in practice, I actually have a… Continue reading The Daily Marker Challenge #11 day 1–5
The obvious thing would have been to make a Valentine card with this bunny and its big heart, but it didn't really feel like the sort of image I'd use for a card for my other half (see this year's Deadpool Valentine). So I decided to leave it without a sentiment because my card stash… Continue reading Love you sew much bunny
Another five days of colouring. As well as using my Copics again — and even doing another lesson in the Autumn Scenes mini course — I also did my first bit of coloured pencil work in a long time and even got out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BY6Js3AgEV-/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY8xVwAAflZ/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BY_Itjng3dS https://www.instagram.com/p/BZBp1bygnl0/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZEhe2UA2r_/
