The Squirrel and the Sunflower - Sketchbook Project 2012

The final installment and last story provided by my wonderful friend L. This is a true tale and I thoroughly enjoyed working on the images for this one. I used mainly inks and watercolours as well as throwing in the odd papercut.

Enjoy!

I'll be volunteering tomorrow (Sat 9th July) so pop down and doodle and say "hi"! Speaking of doodles here are some of mine.

Bargains!

I adore charity and vintage shops and can spend hours searching for some treasure among the shelves and rails. My bargains so far... a framed embroidered owl picture and a copy of "The Hobbit", which I haven't read since I was 12 years old.

You're probably wondering why I picked a copy. Once I took a look inside I knew I had to take this bad boy home.

On the inside pages someone has lovingly made notes and must have completely immersed themselves into that world. It has been a long time since I've done that with a novel!

Here's a little picture of something I'm working on... will reveal details later on. Now enjoy the Sun people!
