Day 676: Brusho Galaxy.

It's a quiet planning day today so I packed up a selection of Activity Boxes and projects that need to be done. I then did a load of tidying up in the craft room before settling down to read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer again. I did most of this piece with Brusho but then added …

Day 675: Shimmering Dress.

So today I did a bit more gardening and some research, as I've started planing some future projects for myself and the blog; especially as I think my travel plans for the year don't look like they are happening. Then this evening I pulled out my Pental Hybrid pens to have a doodle with on …

Day 674: The Purple Lego Dot Jewellery Box.

I went to my local Morrisons the other week and found this set. I happily bought this set to build and reviewed as it was a set that appealed for its uses and not as a jewellery box. I built this set in an hour and while its still very girly - when it could …

Day 673: Miffy In Metallic.

I'm in an experiment mood today; I thought I would use my new Bic Metallic Permanent markers to draw this Miffy inspired piece as I experimented with the metallic pens and colouring it in. I think I'll need to redo this experiment with different materials and in different techniques later this month. That means I'll …

Day 672: Zebra Metallic Butterfly.

I've used my new metallic ink Zebra Pens to doodle this piece. These pens have a fine 0.7mm nib. The colours all stand out and work really well together or apart on any coloured light or dark piece of paper or card. I've never found a metallic pen that has such a fine nib. The …

Day 671: Inky Sea Collage.

This piece is an experiment with the Bic Intensity fine liner pens I bought from Tesco. This pack comes with 8 pens from the range of 20 colours. The nib on these pens is a 0.4mm nib so you get a very fine line when drawing with these pens. The pen barrel is very thin …

Day 670: Rainbow Flower sketch

Today I used my new Staedtler Highlighters to make this piece of art work. its a little different to my normal type of sketches but I designed the background first and then decided to add the flower and vines to the bottom of the piece. I love the brightness of the ink these pens hold …

Day 669: Disney Castle.

It's time to play with my new highlighter pens again. I am a Disney nut and had planned to go to Disneyland Paris later this year sadly all of those plans have gone down the drain due to Covid 19 and booking problems with Disneyland itself. So roll on to 2021 when I hopefully will …

Stationery Shopping Haul Time.

This week I went to the shops and looked around my several stores and their back to school sales and promotions for sketch materials and art materials. While out I bought some amazing and interesting new stationery and drawing materials in particular for the upcoming Inktober. I mainly went to Tesco, Morrisons, ASDA, Sainsbury's, and …

Day 667: Magic Dots Bracelet.

I got some of the Series 2 Lego dot bracelet or band sets today. I really like the bracelets mainly because they have all the decorative tiles or charms in the packs. This pack has some more of the faceted Lego tiles that I really like only these are in a pink (I don't like …
