Magic
"There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found..."
Here is my little guy for illustration friday, this weeks theme is magic. A tiny block print from this soft-kut material I have, it's like a giant eraser. And just to mix things up, I've been playing around with gouache to hand-color the print. I print my work on vellum and paint on the back.
Okay, that's it, I have gotten all the Christmas out of my system. The tree comes down tomorrow. I promise to stop singing Christmas carols. The wrapping paper and bows will be packed away. And I won't start this madness again for 6 months...ha!
That's cute Heather!
I was seriously sad to see the Christmas CDs come out of the player.
