An illustration from an ongoing (very ongoing), self initiated project based on the story of the Lion, the Fox and the Horse.  Just getting some basic ideas and character design down first. 
 
 
 

 
 




 
These are some drawings I did whilst away in Spain last year.  I was given some gorgeous felt pens, so put them to good use. 
I loved the fact that the moon was so amazing when we were there, I had to draw it.

 

 
 
So I've taken up needle felting.  Well, felting in general.  It's taken a while to get the knack, but I'm finally getting some good results!  These are just some little experiments.  I've got some completed whales somewhere, and I'm planning a batch of British Garden Birds.  Photos to follow shortly.  These can be made to commission and posted, so let me know if you'd like your very own felt animal!

PGCE final piece

 
 

 
Final piece from my PGCE course.  I focused on looking at the Isle of Lewis, where some of my family live.  I wanted to capture the wonderful rich colours of the sea and the sand (on a good day of course,) and therefore used both watercolour and wet felting to create the idea beautiful sunny days with the opposite of stormy, dark days.
