Getting Crafty

I don’t often do crafting, but I’ve been invited to share a table at GS Artist‘s Christmas Craft Fair (December 7th, 11-5) so I’ve got to get cracking. Here’s the start of a little basket made from recycled prints and wool.

#Caturday Silhouette 5

It’s amazing how quickly a week flies by, and here we are again, another #Caturday Saturday and another silhouette of our little elderly rescue cat, William ChatNoir, aka Bill. As I’m clearing out my plans chests I’m finding lots of nice papers that I’ve coloured up for one reason or another, so I’m having aContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 5”

#Caturday Silhouette 4

I’m clearing out my plans chests. I have two and I want to cut back to one. That’s a lot of sorting to do. As I’m going along I’m finding lots of nice papers that I’ve coloured up for one reason or another, so I’m having a bit of #Caturday fun with some cat silhouettesContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 4”

#Caturday Silhouette: 3

I’m clearing out my plans chests. I have two and I want to cut back to one. That’s a lot of sorting to do. As I’m going along I’m finding lots of nice papers that I’ve coloured up for one reason or another, so I’m having a bit of #Caturday fun with some cat silhouettesContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette: 3”

#Caturday Silhouette: 2

I cut out a cat silhouette based on our Bill a while back and rediscovered them, the positive and negative, as I’m clearing out my plans chests (that’s another story). I’m having fun playing with these little silhouettes on different backgrounds. Here’s the positive, I did the negative on the same background a couple ofContinue reading “#Caturday Silhouette: 2”

#Caturday (a bit late again).

It was #Caturday Saturday yesterday not today, Sunday. But what’s 24 hours between friends? I cut this silhouette of Bill (aka William Chat-Noir aka Phoebe) our little rescue cat, earlier this year. I found it while I was sorting through my plans chest today (desperately trying to declutter) and I realised I hadn’t even begunContinue reading “#Caturday (a bit late again).”

Sketchbook Archives 13: They Don’t Stay Little!

Out and about, people watching and scribbling them into my sketchbook, from August 2012, about a year after I started this blog. They’re all drawings of Husb and family, and all the children are grown up now. They don’t stay little for long.

Bob’s Your Uncle!

I had a bit of a play on Photoshop, using a crop from a photo I took a while back (see below). I put it through the Gradient Map and Bob’s Your Uncle! Pretty colours. I took the original photo a few weeks ago. It’s a reflexion of my light fitting on top of aContinue reading “Bob’s Your Uncle!”

#Caturday Saturday

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again, don’t the weeks rush by quickly? Here’s Sparta Puss all cwtched on a blankie on a giant cushion on the window seat, posing in front of some brilliant sunflowers.

A year ago, Husb and I took a short break in North Wales, near Eryri (Snowdon). It poured down! But I did some expressionistic drawings with soft pastels into my Daler Rowney black paper sketchbook, you can see one in the background (above). Click here to see a short film about it. I worked veryContinue reading
