I've been working on a dog portrait over the past fortnight - here is Charlie, a little Yorkshire terrier done in Derwent Coloursoft & Drawing pencils on pastel paper. This is for a surprise birthday present, so shhh! I'm now free for commission.
My granddaughter turns 3 at the weekend - difficult to think what to get her for her birthday as she was spoilt rotten over Christmas whcih wasn't that long ago. One thing that her mum asked if I could do was to make an Elsa dress to go with a doll she will be getting on her birthday. I had to search the internet for measurements of this particular doll- thankfully I found them hidden away on a blog somewhere. I bought some blue lining satin and some sparkly snowflake organza and went about drawing out a pattern. I think it turned out well - it remains to be seen if it fits the doll! If not, I am sure she will have some teddy or other that we can jam into it!
