Drawing of the day

I discovered http://www.illustrationfriday.com/ . The idea is that every Friday somebody posts an idea to illustrate. I thought by joining this group it would provide me a weekly challenge, which will motivate me towards my aim of 'a drawing a day'.

Yesterday I completed my first topic, which was 'confined' (see yesterday's post). 

The above drawing/collage was another piece which illustrates another concept of the  same word.

Words which come to mind: to keep in, hidden monster, anger, frustration, restricted, to keep within bounds.

Illustration Friday - Confined

'Drawing of the day'.
Collage and pen over original etching of a horse fetus.

Words which come to mind: despair, loss, confined, trapped, sadness, birth, innocence, empty, death, separation.

A walk to the pub in the snow

Little light in the garden...

A visit to the Isis pub along the river. Sitting next to the fire and eating their homemade scones...

I particularly like the scrapped off wallpaper and the animal head!

snow angels

Went out in the snow again, and made a snow angel...

How to make an origami fox

A bit of avant-garde crocheting!

Fur coat lady cut out of a newspaper from the 1930's. I loved all the old ads, which I will try and upload in the next few days. I want to do something with them, but not sure what yet.

Snowmen

Lebowski with her new owner

A lost sheep

I found this sheep on the towpath...
The next day, it had gone.


The biggest stick in the world carrying competition!

Zippy

Zippy ended up in the bin after Lebowski decided to rip out his insides.. poor Zippy!

The garden

Winter

Summer

Shadows

The day the world turned white

Waking up yesterday to over a foot deep of snow, I was very excited. I threw on my many layers and took Lebowski out for a walk. We met two little boys (one of whom had never seen snow before; he was from Brazil) who delighted in pelting the both of us with snowballs!

organising time

After yet another day writing out applications, I have decided that I should be spending more time doing my own stuff. This includes trying to do some form or drawing everyday, or at least something creative.
Starting tomorrow, I am going to attempt one drawing per day...for the next month.
Watch this space!

cooking

I'm going to make this again tonight. It's really good...
