Photo update of my finished bunch of garlic. It took me just under two hours of work to get the inking in, but I actually really enjoyed the focus of trying to get the shape of the garlic using only lines. #art #creative #botanical #linedrawing #ink #focused #finished #garlic #copicmultiliner

Photo update of my Winter Fairy girl. I've transferred the drawing on to mount board and started adding the background.  I'm planning to add an arctic hare and  maybe a reindeer fawn too. I've also started working on painting the figure.  #art #love #inspired #gouache #winter #fairy

Mum won't let me in the bed, and I'm so cold and sad and deprived. #sosad #dachshund #neverwarmenough #duvetmonster

Photo update of the garlic for my Wildlife and Botanical class. I've almost finished the original drawing,  then I have to ink it all in. Nice, fiddly, intricate detail work. #art #creative #botanical #linedrawing #ink #focused

First look at my new wip. This is the sketch for my Winter Fairy girl. I plan to transfer the drawing on to mount board and use gouache. I plan to sit her on the ground, beside a tree stump, maybe, with frost and toadstools, and snowdrops and maybe an arctic hare. #art #love #inspired #newpic #creative #drawing #winter #fairy #gouache

First photo update of my new botanical piece for art class.  It's not necessarily what I would have chosen to do but it's a new challenge.  I've not gotten much done due to the dreaded form filling in which always takes up about half the first lesson!  #art #botanical #linedrawing #ink

Meet Garfunkel, my new notebook! !!!!!! He was sitting on a shelf at the shop,  looking all unloved, so I brought him home with me. #notebook #crazyfur #love #Ithinkimightbecrazy

My handsome boy! He may be very noisy and annoying at times, but a cuddle from him always cheers me up. #love #dachshund #cutie #cuddles

New patchwork quilt I'm working on.  Hoping to add some crocheted embellishments to it once I've got the rest of the patches added. #creative #inspired #craft #patchwork #sewing #crochet

I can finally put a photo of the mixed media canvas I did as a present for Kiri up on here. Lot of time and work but I'm pleased with the result.  The swing is attached so that it can actually move. #art #love #inspired #mixedmedia #canvas #acrylic #buttons #tree #owl #swing

Happy New Year everyone. Hope 2014 is everything you hope it could be.  Personally I'm aiming to finish my novel this year, and to keep on with my art and crafts and just be generally creative. #art #writing #creative
