Groovy Little Number

I needed a Week-To-View Diary and being the experimenter that I am, I created this groovy little book for the purpose of housing the diary pages.  The cover is made from recycled materials and the very groovy accompanying pencil was given to me by my friend Ailie, and it has the most gorgeous faceted jewel attached to the top of it.  I love it.

EDM 45 Medicine Cabinet

Had fun with this exercise but got a sore derriere sitting on the low stool while I drew the innids of one of the bathroom cupboards. Must get faster at these.

Panmure Basin Sketching & Painting

Hillary, Dale and I went to the Waipuna Road East boat ramp and sat in glorious sunshine on a supposedly Autumn day to sketch as much in an hour as we could. Some geese thought we’d come to feed them so they hurried out of the water and rushed up to mooch through our stuff to see if we had food. We didn’t, so they grunted and waddled all the way back to the water, alas disappointed.

EDM 44 (b) Animal

Well, it seems I found time to do an animal after all. I executed this charming cat study in watercolour from a book about watercolour technique. It's my second attempt at the same subject as a process of making mistakes and learning by them. I'm quite pleased with this one.

EDM 44 (a) Animal

Just finished this cutest of cute teddies and went to check what the EDM list description said, only to discover I was supposed to be drawing an animal - a live one I presume. Haven't got time to start this all over again so, Ted will have to suffice.

EDM 43 Something China or Ceramic

This vase is a favourite because I made it way back when I was doing ceramics. The roses and leaves were made from plasticised slip and were not easy, but fun. Sadly a couple of bits have broken off during various house moves, but I still love it. Still learning watercolour, still struggling, roses not great, but I did try.
