Nature: acorns and mushrooms

This is my current project! A coloring book! It will be released through Amazon this November. If you'd like to stay apprised of progress follow me on instagram: @fyre.heart

One thing I love about natural objects is how they often remind me of handmade objects. Like these acorns--the caps look just knit caps. So I scanned in a handful and used them as the basis for this sketch.

Doodles of Sally in a more"Sega-esque" style.

An illustration copied from Dana Fox’s Watercolor with me book. I will probably be posting more of these in the future as I purchased a few of her books and they have nice sketches to copy from for practice. Done in pencil and watercolor.

Sketch using pencil crayons

A practice run of a tiny lino cut I've just made. It's about the size of a 2 pence piece. I'm playing around with colours.

Some Brownies just have an inventive streak.

Princess Sally © DIC/Sega is a childhood favorite. Just some fun messing with her hair. Which style is YOUR favorite? Let me know in comments below!

I live in the countryside and often pick bits up from the road when I'm out walking. I found these one time so brought them home to sketch . Thanks for looking.

Pen and ink on vellum!

Watercolour acorn and oak leaf design on a miniature wooden box.

More air clay work. Water colour paint. I have a resident squirrel, who I have named Melanie. She left an acorn in my garden and now I have a little oak tree.

Air dry clay models, painted with water colours and then varnished, with a mixture of gloss and matt.

I have a thing about acorns.

More little lino prints. I added another acorn and a leaf. I may add more leaves.
