As promised, an inside look at some of the more lighthearted things I’m working on.

A few months back I made a miniature diorama as a gift for a friend. Sadly it got squashed. So, to replace the lost piece I deiced to go with something a bit more springy. Hence the trees.

While I was working on the first tree (pictured with the squirrel), I got an inspiration in the form of a small gnome gifted to me from my mom. Said gnome is a bit too cheerful for me, but after reworking his character through drawing I have come up with a little man that will make a cameo in several of my upcoming pieces.

I’m moving a bit away from birds for the time being. But will, no doubt, be back to them. Meanwhile, I’ve been working in our garden a bunch lately and have been delighted by the flowers. As a result I have been crafting many a flower and am now collaging them together with drawing and painting. I think the end product will be pretty pleasing.

I hope you enjoy. Keep an eye out, I’ll post the finished products of all these over the next week or two.
