I’ve redesigned my blog and finally brought it into the 21st century with responsive web design and other perks!
You can stop here if you don’t wish to read anything sad today. It’s already bad enough with COVID and protests, I know.
I've tried watercolor before with frustration (I'm still too impatient) but I hadn't tried using an ink wash so that's what I set out to do this week! This bird wasn't featured in the ABC newsletter (mentioned last time) but I had already sketched it out from before;...
I've been watching Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell and just have to point out that in episode 3, there is a lovely stumpwork tapestry piece. It isn't often that embroidery makes its way into a storyline more than a background activity! I paused the show and...
