Party time

Posted on December 18, 2011 by Hannah

Here is an illustration of the village children’s Christmas party that was yesterday. I was trying out blendable coloured pencils and I’m not convinced. They didn’t blend as much as I thought they would or really at all. Anyway, hopefully … Continue reading →

Wrapping

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Hannah

A bit blowy

Posted on December 8, 2011 by Hannah

Here is a pic of my stall at the village shopping night last night. The hall looked great decked out in all its Christmas finery. We had Christmas songs playing and mulled wine. There was a good turn out and … Continue reading →
