Three little squares now complete. This one is bits and pieces I picked up in Scotland. The stones I found on the bank of a river flowing into Loch Ness and the feather on a walk nearby. I have used the same techniques as for the other two and I am still...
I actually finished this a while ago and I have no idea why I didn't get round to posting it. So here it is. I love this and I am pleased with where it sits on the grid with the shells. I know what is going in the next square; some things I picked up on my holiday...
This is the start of the second image for my grid. The lovely black and white stones were my souvenirs from this years holiday in Wales. Somehow I can never resist a stone or a shell. A couple of years ago it was seaweed!! Something else I need to do something...
This first little drawing is finished, at last! I wasn't sure about the shell in the back but I think the fact that it is broken and the contrast of the colours works well. It will be part of a series of identical sized images and I have a good idea of what I...

This is the second pair of Lino cuts of la Gomera. I really like the overlay of these especially after clearing a bit more background. This pair is definitely ready to try on higher quality paper with some colour on the background. I had a little play the other...
I have been messing about with Lino, trying to find some inspiration. On my hols last year in La Gomera I got a bit obsessed by shadows on the walls and thought I might be able to do something with them. A couple of months ago decided I had better start...
I have been having a go at a technique, involving pyrography, that was described in my art magazine. I thought it looked interesting and the example demonstrated was a bird that I really liked. I asked for a Dremel versatip for xmas, as dedicated pyrography...
