Week 18 Grandmother

My children's grandmother hasn't read the rules.

This is a memory I have, from years ago, of my mum racing up a tree as soon as we arrived at her new house. My children weren't as keen as she was, she'd clearly been waiting for an excuse for weeks

I have a photo somewhere, but I can't find it. This will become the only record of the event :)

Week 17 - Collector

Like a butterfly collector but more animal friendly,
influenced by The Sound Collector (Roger McGough),
and turning out more like a smaller version of the BFG

My collector is making the world a happier place by collecting positive things and getting ready to share them

Drawn in ink and colour added digitally

Week 16 - Mirror

This week I created a new pattern. I doodled a host of frame ideas, on my A5 sketchbook, with the idea that I would tidy them up and straighten them. In the end I only rearranged them and added a tad of colour


and copied a street-photo from 1941 of children playing with a broken mirror. I didn't go searching for this, I happened across it in a magazine - a bit of serendipity :)
I started with the pink pen - because that's all I had to hand, and added the black for definition later.
