A Walk

Winchester, November 2011

Visted Winchester over the weekend. Beautiful historic city. Loads of character and a strong artsy feel, but maybe that was just because of the craft fair that was going on that weekend.

Loads of interesting and varied stalls. 

I think it is interesting to look at streets which you are not use to walking on. Somehow when you are not familiar with them you see them in a different way.

Sketchbook: Charcoal Drawings

 Few more drawings taken from Skectchbook on Drawing Project.

  

The drawings are done in charcoal with some stitch and are copies of famous photograhs taken from a book on women photographers. I was interested in age and skin. Looking a lines, creases and wrinkles in the skin. 

These are my first charcoal drawings which has lead to me using charcoal in my next sketchbook. 

Craft: Not so Christmassy Cards

 I finally got card making, as I believe it is the season for card making! My cards didn't really turn out very Christmassy though but very fiddly and little bit too much glue.

I made just four cards before I got fustrated enough to stop. The swirls were put in simple arrangements, maybe I'll try so more complicated arrangements in the future.
