Nounours, a special dog portrait!

This beautiful lady was really good fun to draw, with her shading and cuddly ruff of fur! Her owner was so pleased when the portrait arrived that I got a special surprise gift by return!

Throw away :-)

This is what i did with 200 squares from my wonderful stash!

It made a rather heart warming, colourful throw!

rabbit and cat family ceramics!

those cute critters were finished and have left my hands - but not before they had a nice play in the dolls house! The terracotta body was glazed in off white, then i used those low fire paints to add the clothes and features!

The cat family was fun, i am calling in the young son Kevin!

Worked with clay!

Here is a little cat family and a little rabbit family! They need to dry out and be glazed...

Viral ...

Sadly and frustratingly I have been poorly for some time, with a nasty virus and a chest infection on top ... still not out of the woods, I pulled out some squares and played with the arrangement of colours ...

I have chosen what I felt were mostly autumnal shades, and this is a two sided project in 8-inch squares!

The piece is still rather colourful and cheerful, esp since I've not been very creative recently!

Bear finished!

He was fun to make, a friend of mine thinks he looks like a Matthew! Do you agree? Made from vintage mohair throw!

Horse Portrait....

some WIP pics of this handsome warm-blood  you can really see how I used lighter colours over the top to add definition and detail ...
