The Time Has Come
Postcard created in Photoshop and printed on cardstock. The Walrus is not from Alice in Wonderland but he’s part of a poem in Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There…and he’s oh-so-cute.
My surgery went well – my right hand is very sore and is unusable but I’m SO glad to have that blasted cyst out. I now have the greatest hubby-nurse ever.
Y is for Yale
Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper. Simply put, the yale is one wicked-cool animal. It has horns that can move any which way it wants!

I’m a bit nervous as I post this, for in less than 12 hours I will be off for some ‘minor’ wrist surgery. It’ll be a little while before I can draw again, so I’m feeling pretty sad. Only one more medieval letter to go then who knows what I’ll post!
The Butter’s Spread Too Thick!
Postcard created in Photoshop and printed on cardstock. The Carpenter is not from Alice in Wonderland but he’s part of a poem in Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.
X is for…Squirrel?
Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper. Alright, so I cheated a little bit on this one, seeing as there are very few animals starting with X and fewer still that would have appeared in a medieval bestiary. So hopefully these African ground squirrels (genus Xerus) won’t get too angry, as squirrels can die of rage.

Whooo Are You?
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.
