Anyway first things first! I have to show you an amazing piece of art that I asked my lovely pal Carmen over at Whoopidooings made for me! I commissioned her to make me a canvas of a snow bunny in her style but also my style. This is harder than it sounds as we have the complete opposite taste in colours and stuff although I do like a lot of the same things as she does. I sent her over some reference photos of things I really like....turns out I like a lot of bright pastel colours :-P
Here is what she came up with! Isn't it just the best thing EVER!! I am so pleased with him (even if he doesn't have a scarf on as was later pointed out to me)! He's so smiley and happy, this is something I have never managed to achieve in any of my drawings of rabbits :-P He is going to take pride of place in my work room :-)
I've also managed to do a little drawing myself. I say little but my drawings are actually huge! I have no concept of scale, I can barely fit the people on to A4 paper!! I haven't got round to the colour stage yet and I'm not even sure if I like them but such is life!!
The top one is juts a random girl that popped in to my head, I had such trouble with the hair! I realised I really have no clue how to draw hair that looks like its attached to a persons head :-P The bottom one is a drawing of my fave DC character Hawkgirl. Maybe they will look better when/if I finally get some colour on them! They don't have much emotion at the moment!
I'm hoping to take part in Summer of Colour this year too. At least it will give me a kick up the backside to post a little more often :-P I do love summer of colour though! It's quite exciting waiting for the next colour prompts!!
So to knitting! I had a custom order for a baby hat and booties! The colour was a mint green or baby blue, I thought the mint green would make a nice change. The wool that was chosen in the end was really lovely and knitted up well!
If anyone is interested in something similar its £5 each for the hat and booties and I can knit them in any colour you like providing there is wool in that colour :-P I'm trying to knit some to put in my poor neglected Etsy shop but I just can't seem to find the time!
Anyway that is all for now, see you all soon :-)
