A Relaxing Raccoon.

I’ve been drawing Raccoons lately and here’s one that was a tester..Raccoon Portrait

Thought it needed a bit more warmth, so here was the next one. A relaxing Raccoon.

I think he’ll be cropping up again.

Quite pleased with my antimacassar (I have just been informed that it was so called because gentlemen used to use Macassar oil as an unguent in their hair- so an antimacassar kept the oil off the furniture.)

There, I’ve taught you something now.

‘Love Birds’

‘Love Birds’ (and I do love birds!) is a new print for my Folksy shop. I was thinking of a card design about Love- Valentines Day was approaching and I’ve  been trying to put together some card designs, and this drawing just grew and grew..

..until it was just about print size. (The pink doesn’t show up that well in the picture, it’s actually a bit brighter-but not neon or anything!) Being relatively new to screenprinting, whilst cleaning the screen I inadvertently printed the black onto some newspaper. I quite liked it, so I cut it out.

Not sure where it’s going, but it’s giving me ideas.

Happy (Belated) New Year.

Happy New Year to you all.

After having dispatched children back to school and cleaned my studio, I’m trying some black and white pics.

So first up, here’s one for all of you who have taken up some kind of New Year exercise routine.
