Best holiday wishes to any and all readers of this blog.

It's been a little while but I'm resuming my drawing again, with some new books and a new work area for inspiration.

Something I'd like to try out on my next mug. The centre will feature a kitten of course.

Inspired by my kitten face mug I made for Anabela, I'm making another attempt, this time with text, to sell on Etsy. I think I'm finished with the kitten part now I'm working out ideas for text on the other side.

A recent doily drawing. This one in the smaller, 8 inch diameter. A gift.

I sold a similar mug to this one recently on Etsy. I'm really enjoying the 'birch and shapes' motif and I plan to make more like it. I attempted to incorporate a fox into the design but I'll have to practice a little more to make it look the way I want.

This particular mug is going to be a raffle prize for the annual holiday / fundraiser party at InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre. I'll be sad to see it go but I hope whoever gets it enjoys it!

When Anabela bought me this vintage Fire King-style mug, I intended to decorate it and offer it for sale on Etsy, but after finishing it I decided to give it to her. Maybe I'll try another version soon to sell.
