IF: Contraption

Coats are great contraptions, aren't they?

I started sketching some awesome beauty tools for this prompt...beauty contraption was my first thought.

Never got around to painting it. My husband suggested I use a tree I painted as a 'nature contraption' but i thought this illustration of a coat that I was going to post for fun anyways, would do nicely.

A winter contraption..one that is soon to snake its way into our closets soon here on the east coast!

IF: Hibernate

There's nothing more comforting than retreating from the cold fall/winter with a nice steaming mug of herbal tea.
When I thought about hibernate I immediately thought of bears. Then i thought of our sweet turtle gammy. He hibernates in the winter - well, he would if he was in the wild.
I don't really draw animals - that's my husband's forte. I had this strong urge to paint a tea bag this week and so I did. When i was almost done i realized that it would be perfect for hibernate!
Love how it turned out :)

This Knitting Business! (Part 2)

Part 1
Fast forward a few years. Intimidated by more intermediate knitting, i dropped it entirely.

I found crochet and took to it immediately. I was a crocheting fiend!

I kept seeing amazing knitted items and a pattern for a cream coloured cable throw kept shoving itself in my face! Cables! How utterly, stomach flippingly terrifying!
