Rework: golden drips

October 30, 2018February 9, 2022 Crafty Rat

I wasn't happy with the first incarnation of this panel. The end result was so far removed from my initial idea that I classed it as a failure, not a "throw it in the bin" failure but still...

Golden dragon

July 9, 2018February 9, 2022 Crafty Rat

About me

Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in London, UK with my very techy other half and our pet rats. When I’m not looking after them, my days are spent getting crafty and trying to remember to blog about it.
