EDM Challenge #116 - draw something green.

This is an ATC I painted for an ATC exchange but it definitely passes for this challenge.
I used watercolour pencil, acrylic, thin coloured markers and thick black marker on watercolour card.
I love the way it came out and may find it hard to part with!!

More EDM Challenges Completed!

EDM Chellenge #104 - draw some salt and pepper shakers. These are some little frog themed shakers Iwas given. I don't know why the bottom one looks so sad, perhaps he's the salt! Black pen and watercolour pencil. EDM Challenge #105 - Draw scissors. These are my trusty fiscars scissors I use all the time. They are covered in sticky bits of glue, paper and tape and I badly need a new pair. Great scissors for detail work! Black pen and watercolour pencil.

EDM Challenge #78 - Draw a souvineer of a place. This is a little kit I bought from the "stitches and craft" show a few years ago now. It stands about 5" tall. It came with all the bits and the material for the clothes and duck and a pattern. It was really cool to do and I am yet to find another craft kit this cool!! Black pen and watercolour.
