Introducing Cute Turnip Head

When I was making vegetable soup this week, I cut the end off a small turnip and found it looked like this...

Its such a cute little face!
So naturally I had to collage it with blueberries, didn't I?

A lion and a juggler.

A mouse out and about... and in its nest

And lastly in its curlers

I say lastly but it wasn't because I suddenly thought of a whole new type of stuff I could do with it before it dries up and gets composted...

Watch this space!

Found the Icing Eyes: More peppers

I was going to give the pepper-pics a rest but I was having a hunt through a drawer yesterday and found some icing sugar cartoon eyes I had been given. Not sure I'm ever going to eat them but they REALLY suited the peppers!

Excited pepper!

And its Zany brother!

I WILL now give peppers a rest but I have found SUCH a cute turnip that I HAVE to share it with you... so look out for The Adventures of Cute Turnip-Head!

A Couple of Happy Peppers?

I do love cutting a pepper in half and seeing if there's a face inside (see previous blogs of peppers in various states of emotion)

Actually this one looks rather concerned!

But the second one is paralytic with laughter - tears running down its face... or is that drool?

Rotten Apple or Golden Apple?

Here's the amazing apple I found in out back garden, fallen from our little centenarian apple tree...

And here's what Prisma did with it...

It looks like something out of a fairytale.

Sherlock ATCs part two

Here are the other three Sherlock-themed ATCs I promised you yesterday.

Can't believe the last time I drew Sherlock ATCs was 2013!! 

Time flies when you're playing with other craft!

New Sherlock ATCs

Just finished watching the new series of Sherlock and the second episode was a fascinating mix of scary menace and unexpected humour. Its amazing how the writers can make your emotions jump about between the two so quickly.

Here are some of my favourite scenes as ATCs (please forgive the inaccurate likenesses).

1. Sherlock after shooting photos, greeting a frightened Mrs Hudson.

2. John and Mrs Hudson with the fake therapist.

3. Mrs Hudson and Sherlock swap what they are carrying.

4. Sherlock is handcuffed in the boot of Mrs Hudson's smart new car and brought to John.

Three more tomorrow...

BTW if you want to see the ATCs I did from previous series, check out

Moomin Collage

I love Moomin stuff. The pictures Tove Jansson drew are as fantastic as the stories she wove.

I was given a colouring book as a present 

but, as Moomins are all white and I couldn't bring myself to colour them any different colours, thought I would cut up the book and do some collage with it instead.

From there I had to Prisma it up a little...

and

They are so atmospheric.
