Pumpkins

With the halloween season with us, a variety of pumpkins seems to have filled my thoughts.

Pumpkin on recycled cereal card and envelope paper.
I love how the pattern of the paper has shown through.

These have given me a chance to practice with my marker pens. The first three above were with my Copics and the last one with Promarkers. All are 3.5x2.5 inches in size.

The following was a gouache on recycled card giving a completely different feel.

As you can see I have been having fun!

Creative Tuesdays - Bottle

This time the callenge for Creative Tuesdays is bottle.

When I was a child it would be a common sight to see blue tits pecking away at the foil of milk bottles to get to the cream  This seems to very rarely happen now. I think this is because there are so few deliveries of milk to the doorstep any more and the fact that the milk has changed in how it is produced. So this activity is something that we are sadly losing in the UK.

I have come across some fabulous gouache paint, so thought I would give it a try instead of my trusted acrylics and the whole thing turned out less whimiscal than normal. Not a polka dot in sight! I am already having withdrawals!

Pop over to Mr T's blog to see other bottles.
