This and That

18"x30" koh-i-nor paints and promarkers, acrylic waxed.

 A little bit of fun with my Trident friends yesterday playing with drawing techniques, sparked me off drawing again. I rarely use a butterfly image in my work but I had a little box of cutouts made with  my Cricut. I always wish I had chosen the inverted colours but you can't have one without the other if you see what I mean.


I really must do something with these butterflies one day!


In the meantime my John Clare pieces are progressing slowly.


If it hadn't been so windy today I could have drawn in another layer of shadows, the light was just right to project sharp images. Not on top form at the moment ( awaiting medical tests results) but thank goodness for crafting it keeps me grounded and amused.

  1. Lovely stuff! I really like those top two butterfly images. Must admit your cricut sounds quite fab - but I really must stop buying gadgets!

    Love the shadow sketch too. What a good idea. I really must get into some serious sketching!
