Couldn't resist.....

A quick sketch......

Drawing again!..........

Someone tell me.....

Should be sewing.....

but keep getting distracted!

Back from my jollies......

More experiments......

Experimenting .....

 .....with quick sketches drawn on newspaper....

WOOOO HOOOOOO.......

...............can't quite believe it but I have gone and rented a shared artist studio space in the fabulous Northlight Art Studios, in Hebden Bridge.  It is an artists co-operative with numerous artists from the area working in loads of different media and hugely exciting and inspirational  I shall be sharing the space with textile artist and hope to use the space for both my textile work and my illustration work.  What fun!  I move in at the begining of June....which is so close!.....can't wait.

And..........

..............my second entry in my own moly - yet more colourful characters.  Can you guess who they are?

Moly X 25....

most recent very late entry........... this moleskin book will now be winging its way to Clare as soon as I can get it into the post.
The first image is one of Harry Bell's fabulous drawings.  The planets are my follow on.  The theme for the book is "things that go round"

Check out the dedicated Moly X 25 blog and Harry's blog / blogs for more information. 

So loooooong..............

.....since I posted here that I had almost forgotten how to log in!  It has been very busy in the Mosley household and a bit of a stressful time coming up - 2 teenagers doing GCSEs/A levels at the same is not good, definitely not good!

So very little creative activity going on here........so just a quick colourful sketch to cheer me up!

Trying out some new colours....

fun!

more sketching....
