Scrawlerbox No. 122 ‘Hocus Pocus’
Back to doing my Scrawlr art prompts with this months box arriving on my doorstep yesterday. A surprise set of pastel promarkers and melty colour pencils were fun to figure out, as the pencils make the pastels turn darker shades.

September 1st and we're going back to learning.
Got a few days before I start at Mud Hub as a volunteer kiln technician and I am anxious... will I be able to do it? And excited, heck yes I am going to do it!
Meanwhile in the background its time to prepare some ghosties ready for Halloween.

Menhir's Fate Drawing: Star Charts.
The starseers came back to share with us discoveries they had made, I took notes and when I got home settled down to draw this star map.
The names might change group to group but it was a fun challenge to put the stars together as one piece.

Working on some fan love for Esquie today, I really love the gentle weirdness of this character and the fact he gives really good hugs.
I could sit and listen to him speaking for hours, especially about when things are wheee or whooo.

Eternals of Day, Autumn and Winter
Another set of three Eternals drawn for Pd's Empire Larp and another visual challenge to turn what was written on the page into something that carried forward the concept.
They were so fun to make especially with the splashes of colour for the crown and lava.

Eternals of Summer, Spring and Night.
Over the last few weeks I had been sketching and crafting wonderful arts for PD's Empire Larp game, finally I can share them with folks now.
I loved the challenge of making them match the written concepts for them and turning that into a visual image.

Painting banners for larp this week...
These ones are for Menhir's fate they will be used by the guilds there. Though I did not design the symbols, it was a really cool challenge to make them make them match what I had been given here on the computer screen.

I have been drawing pictures from Scrawlrbox for a very long time now and it never stops being one of my favorites. Even became one of their Scrawlrstars for a bit.
Woke up this morning to another of my paintings being shared on their main page. Scrawlrbox will forever be a fave <3

Looks like my first convention of the year is warming up to begin soon... so here is a little bit of fun.
Trinket trading started at American Ren Faires and it seems to be catching on here in the uk. Of course I cannot be called 'Trinkety' and not have some trinkets to trade with folks at Larp con.

First glaze firing of 2025 has happened.
Nothing stuck to the kiln shelf and nothing exploded yay!
Also I made these cute little traffic cones for my desk as an experiment and I love them, might make some more for the shop when I get a spare moment.

Created a few new ATCs before heading out to an Empire player event, I introduced a few artists there to them and gifted them over to start their collections.
For those who dont know:
- ATC stands for Artist trading card.
- They are the same size as a Pokemon card or MTG card (2.5inch by 3.5inch).

Just uploaded a small clutch of around ten tiny dragons and another couple of random pots to my online shop. Haven't tried rehoming my ceramic things online yet so this is a little bit of a tester... they are pretty darn cute.

This is my experimental 'Anvil Meetings and Seasons Greetings' Empire card, on one side you get Anvil and on the other you get Festive Winter but its proven to be a real challenge to mirror what you see through the sentinel gate.
I am having really nerdy artist fun of the highest order.

#peachtober23 - Day four ‘Grub’
Stuck with using orange again in my colour palette and think I have really settled on what comes next in the set, this one was really fun to draw though now it is finished I can’t help but see eggs on the body sections of the grub rather than buggy bits.
Ah well.

#peachtober23 - Day three ‘Sweet’
Follow the sweet trail to the house of the hens, there they will cook you up a treat spell or bake you into a trick.
Took the choice to add more orange to this one because it needed a little warmth to the pumpkins and the sweeties. Think I might keep the orange.

#peachtober - Day 2 Cosmos
Her garden is the cosmos and her cloak is the infinity of the stars. She grows the constellations and the roots of the flowers connect all of the stars.
Just a little catch up here on some Inktober days that I've done. Still on target for half of them finished this month.

Well I got the line art for day one inktober done today but the colour didn’t happen because we got super distracted by clearing out my veggies for winter and repotting escaping strawberries.
I also bought a monstera(sp) I think that is what the plant is called…oops. It was sad.

1st of October - it begins!
I've chosen my list for this months art challenge.
I'll be taking part in #peachtober because I just liked the look of the first ten or so prompts, they have a cosy wholesome feel to them and I love the feed of other artists also taking part in this set of prompts.

Pulled together my armoury for this years attempt at Inktober, I think the main colour themes are going to be Blue, Yellow and Sepia/Grey.
My Onyx Black Diamine ink has returned again for the fourth year running and the many stickers have found their way onto the cover of a fresh sketchbook.
