A few sketches and some cross-stitch

[smallhobbit]

Yet again this month I've failed to do as much art as I wanted.  We went to Nature In Art where they had an exhibition of wildlife drawings by Gary Hodges and I copied three of them for use in some ficlets.  The notebook I had in my handbag had lines, but it was better than nothing.  I drew a young cayman and a Nile crocodile for Pterodactyl, part of The Further Adventures of Dr John H Watson, my watsons_woes  JWP2018 entry.  And I drew two bottle-nosed dolphins for fan_flashworks  Wave Challenge: Dolphins.  Lastly I did a colour sketch of a bonnet for Mouselet, also for JWP2018, Hats! Hats! Hats!

Meanwhile, I have been making good progress with my cross-stitch, with the excitement of using some pink thread:

Woohoo! Definitely coming along well, your progress is clearly visible.

Yes, I've been pleased with how it's been going. It's partly the result of a few evenings when I haven't realised how long I've been sewing for.

It's very easy to lose track of time. I do it myself, suddenly realising it's getting hard to see because it's getting dark out...

The cross-stitch looks amazing ... congratulations on your progress. And yay for Nature in Art - I remember that place!

Thank you very much :)

We can get in free with our Art Cards, so we go every couple of months when they have a new main exhibition on.
