Thinking of Easter

 Just thinking of Easter and preparing and playing with line art which will eventually end up as digital stamps. Here is one which at present a little boy who is at present an ACEO :)  He is coloured with yummy prismapencils blended with turpentine. During the colouring I had to repeat to myself one of the Jane Davenport's mantra - Trust the mess - as the egg was not doing what it was supposed to. In the end it came out okay and I found a use for the newspaper's black ink that likes to come off on my fingers :)
Hope you have a great day :)

a fairy tale creature on a Sunday

 For Sunday sketches this week here is a little needle felted gnome I made. He is a busy little guy gather wood. 
Hope you have a great Sunday and pop by Sophia's Sunday Sketches to see what the others are up to.

Preparing a portfolio on a Sunday

One of things I have had on my to do list for at least 2 years now, which I hope to do over the next couple of weeks is to create an online portfolio. Here is a little Photoshop illustration I did yesterday and in the wee hours of this morning, which I am thinking of using, and yes it is aiming at children's book illustrations.
Below is last week's sketch completed. It was originally conceived for Mr. T's Creative Tuesday  but was not finished in time - it is meant to be a very partial view of a mermaid.
Hope you have a great Sunday and pop by Sophia's Sunday Sketches to see what the others are up to.
hugs.

a little sketch on Sunday

A little ACEO on Sunday. It is something I am trying to do to incorporate a pattern or patterns in - hmmm... not sure how it will work out but it will be fun :)
It's been blasted cold here, but so far the lambs are walking and bouncing. They are actually soo cute to watch as the take a step and then as if they have to much energy they have give a couple bounces before they can take another step:)
Tailless ewe #41 seems to be fine, and she and the others grow rounder and rounder each day as we get closer to March, which by the way, is when we expect to get lambs LOL
Hope you have a great Sunday and pop by Sophia's Sunday Sketches to see what the others are up to.
hugs.

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge on a Saturday

Been wanting to get back into doing ACEOs for a couple of weeks but as things go things get put aside. But alas as I am sponsoring it and a little birdie reminded me about the topic here is my version of a  little mermaid for the ACT/ACEO challenge at  Wicked Wednesday.
Colour pencil on watercolour with some white gel pen.
