Illustration Friday: Toy

The word for Illustration this week is 'toy' and coincidently, I've started working part-time in a toy shop this week too!
Another coincidence, after I took a photo of these two characters yesterday they reminded me of a lovely email a friend sent me a few days ago about 2 little ducks.

I wonder how they got there?


Do you ever have odd coincidences happen like this to you ?

~~~

I'm doing a commission at the moment (and this is where working in a toyshop comes in very useful) I bought these little plastic animals. They shall be perfect models!

You know i would have bought these plastic animals too, in my house there are animals everywhere; old toys in plaster ,wood and papier-maché, figurines in wood, porcelain and earthenware, realistic ones ,art deco and crazy ones(should do a post on them)
Have fun at your new job, looks like a happy shop. And yes coincidences happen to me all the time and they always make me smile.
Your toy painting is cute and beautiful, x

Thanks Kathryn, it's definitely fun to look around and see all the cute faces looking back at me! I've loads to learn though.

Hi Renilde, I couldn't resist these when I saw them! Thanks very much :)
