You are my cup of tea

Here is a new drawing I've been working on in the wee small hours; I've got a coffee version too:

 

I'm going to be bringing them along to the Auckland Art and Craft Fair, on next Saturday, the 30th of November.

How do you like your tea?  I have a cup of Earl Grey every night before bed and Mr. Millicent Crow always makes it too weak on purpose so that it won't keep me awake.  I grumble about the weak tea but secretly think it is nice!

Love is always making two cups when you only need one.

 

And ain't that the truth.  Something that I heard in a speech at a wedding a while back.  

 Here it is with the real life cups; I'm thinking of doing a tea one too for those who prefer tea.  Black, no sugar thanks!

Cosy

Good ingredients for a cosy evening.

Even Loulu the cat thinks so!

My Creative Space: stealing time for bits and pieces

Today my creative space is about stealing time.  Stealing a bit of time to jot down some "Things I didn't buy from the op shop" ideas.  The only paper I had in my bag was a scrappy old envelope.

 I'm hoping to turn that series of drawings into a zine full of things I didn't buy from the op shop (and maybe some that I did).

I've also been stealing some time to work on a blanket label painting.  This is my second version of this particular label in progress...the cross hatching has been taking aaages.  

And stealing time for a coffee, because, as they say, a day without coffee is like something without something...

Joining in with "My Creative Space" over here today. 

Happy Thursday!

And again...

Another go at drawing these pesky teaspoons - I think that's the third time in a row I've drawn the same ones.  This time I used a bit of coloured pencil as well as paint - I've just rediscovered those watercolour coloured pencils, they're lots of fun. 

 As you can see I've been using plenty of souvenir teaspoons in real life, too!
