Ginger moggy
Like lemon marmalade
Hasty and zingy
Wide eyed and happy.
Bouncing like rubber
Heels kicking
Flying free
Ginger moggy
I wish I were thee…

This will mean nothing to some of you!
Today’s #30daysketchbookchallenge is the number 7. What could I do? I couldn’t resist doing a quick sketch of the old head judge of Strictly Come Dancing. Len Goodman. His catch phrase was ‘I’ll give it Seven!’
I didn’t have much time to do this so it’s a quick sketch portrait, not forgetting his paddle with the famous 7 on it….
A bit skewiff but fun….
Carborundum
Band of sketchers prompt today hard. Carborundum is a man made creation, it’s exotic, iridescent, rainbow covered spikes are like something from a gothic fairy tale. Carborundum is thought to be a master healer that shines light in all areas of your life and connects to all chakras, purifies mind, body and spirit.’, a crystallography site…(Carborundum, second hardest thing to diamond on the Mo scale)
Under the sink
Caught up – day 6, under the sink… With added characters because it’s really boring!
Cavers explore the underworld of the sink. Avoiding hidden eight legged hairy spiders…. Mixture of watercolours and black italic marker pen….
Day four! #30daysketchbookchallenge
Day 4, catch-up, jellyfish glass paperweight. Just got ‘handle and hook’ to do now, and then today’s….
I will post them here as I do them. This one was done with Arteza metallic watercolours on an A4 sheet in my cartridge paper sketchbook.
Biscuit
OK, day 3 drawing, my favourite type of biscuit
Tried to do the writing but I need better felt pens to get round the lettering…
I also need fresh pens, a lot of them are drying up. My hubby is using them too so they have done well to keep going.
It’s hard to draw images with lettering, I probably need some making fluid. I’ve never used it. Might get some.
30 day challenge
I’m doing sketches for the #30daysketchbookchallenge now. This was for day two. I decided to do a watercolour sketch to represent one of the old adverts you had in victorian times for old grocery shops.
I used Windsor and Newton Watercolours overlaid with Arteza metallic watercolours to make it more interesting.
On catch up…
On catch up for #30daysketchbookchallenge, the first challenge was buttons.. This took an hour. For day 1, buttons….and a few marbles in this button bowl…
I’m not completely happy with it but decided to limit myself to an hour.. Used pencils, watercolour paint and felt pens. Not sure whether there is a time limit.
Band of sketchers prompt : Element
Laboratory grown Bismuth crystals, element, Bi is its chemical symbol. Its a metalloid. Today’s prompt was ‘Element’ luckily I have collected all sorts of things over the years.
I’m also starting a thirty day challenge for January with a different group. I need to catch up with the first five days of January…
Tonights prompt
Tonights tea- a Thai takeaway from Sawadee Thai Taste restaurant in Hill Street, Stoke. My felt pens are running dry. I hope I can get some more. X it was very tasty.
