City of swifts

Hello

I think I have said before how much I really love swifts, probably as much as I love clouds. At the moment I am missing the swifts, which set off back to Africa at the end of July and start of August, so I decided a bit of swift art would be good therapy.

I used Inktense pencils with new Derwent paint pens and waterbrushes that my husband bought me for our wedding anniversary. He took me to the pencil museum in Keswick (300 miles away) for a special day out to celebrate our 20 years. True love :-)

The world's first pencil.

 Pencil art...art made from pencils!

The world's largest pencil.

 My stash of goodies from the shop! Just need time to have a play with it all now.

 Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a lovely day xx

Home sweet home

Hello
Hope you are doing OK and keeping physically and mentally safe and well in these strange times. I find crafting helps clear my mind and also gets me standing up and moving around....so more crafting I think!

I've joined #craftingwithgiogio on Instagram to shake things up a bit and do something different. Having said that for the 3rd April prompt, home sweet home, I've gone back to some old favourite stamps.

These chaps always make me smile.

Take care and thanks for stopping by xxx
