Postcard created in Photoshop and printed on cardstock.
My first sketch was of a person-sized caterpillar, then that turned into a regular caterpillar with a mini hookah, and finally I decided on a large-ish caterpillar with a small-ish hookah. The person-sized caterpillar stood out just too much.
I will post the remaining Medieval Animal Alphabet pieces and the rest of the Mad Tea Party – but then I shall take a break (but for a good reason!). I will be having some minor surgery on my wrist in a few weeks and will…sniff…not be drawing for a little while (and designing and sewing and sculpting and Tai Chi and gaming and fencing and blah blah blah). Fear not, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper. If a man sees a wolf (before the wolf can see him), the wolf will lose his ferocity. But if the wolf sees the man first, the man will lose his voice.

Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper. The vulture follows armies to feast on the bodies that will fall, knowing precisely just how many will be slain. Today’s letter is brought to you by ‘Vampire’.

Spring is in the air, love is about and I rediscovered some old art! Illustrated charges from my medieval wedding, created for table settings. Why sit at table one when you can sit at table sun? (aha!) They also match hanging banner and mini flags (that went on mini edible castle cakes).
Images were drawn from heraldry clip-art/ancient stuff I saw in books, then were inked, coloured with watercolours, shaded a bit with a regular pencil and re-inked.
