Illustration Friday: Hitched

-
YaY! I managed to find time to do this week's Illustration Friday word, 'hitched'!

Thankyou to Stephanie for asking yesterday about my new knitting project. Here's the cardigan I first spoke about in this post. I've made a start as you can see but the needles and yarn are so much thinner than the last knitting I did so this is going to take me a lot longer do finish than the baby jackets. I'm also very much bigger than Maisy too which goes without saying!
You can see the details of this project here on Ravelry. If you're a member do come and say hello to me there, I'd love to see what you've been making too! :)

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
