As I blundered towards the end of last week, counting the hours until school broke up for Easter and I could have an opportunity to do some Spring Cleaning and get some extra sleep, little did I know that instead I would be working every spare minute on two projects with deadlines that fall within the next ten days!
The first is a tin illustration for Derwent involving the above. What I love about working for them is the free tin of pencils you get in order to demonstrate the product. I'll never have to buy a water-soluble coloured pencil again! No animals to paint this time, something a little different for me....I'm ashamed to admit that I am a mature woman of a certain age who had to look up a tutorial in order to find out how to make a paper boat. Origami is not my strong point...
I also have to design and make an accessory based round poultry - yup, you read that right.
As well as a scarf involving this combination of colours - urk, that wakes you up a bit, doesn't it!
As you can see, we're not snowed in although it is a bit chilly and damp. We planted a damson tree this week to replace the poor diseased pear that we cut down a while ago. My banana plant survived the winter and is putting out new leaves already - hooray! Don't look at the bald spots on the grass - cold weather and dog wee will do that! It's been re-seeded and hopefully will green up very soon.
