Xena

Hi everyone, Ev here and it's my turn to post a picture today. I have chosen a graphite drawing I tried to do of my youngest daughter. I say tried as I'm not very good at portraits but it has caught a likeness of her.
Myself and Harley would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting and following this blog and to wish you all a very happy new year.
Best Wishes Ev.

Bambi

Hi Harley here.Today is a picture of Bambi the baby deer.I think it took me about two hours to draw this but not sure because I did it in September sometime with my cute litte border terrier dog Alfie cuddled up at the side of me. :)



Lots of my pictures haven't been coloured in because I'm learning that and
how to do shading so I don't want to ruin them.

Snowman decoration

Hi everyone, Harley here :)

Welcome to my (and my mums) new blog! All our arts and crafts will be here so you can see how we improve (hopefully).

Here is a snowman decoration I made for the Christmas tree.....


I did this by making two pompoms out of white wool and sewing them together. I then cut out three buttons from black felt, a carrot nose from orange felt and a scarf from blue felt. I also stuck on googly eyes and used some wool to make a loop to hang on the christmas tree.

Thats all for today, have fun! xxx
