Lioness hand puppet

Out of the group of puppets I took photos of, she was the most delightful. Her face loves the camera…

Rabbit, banana flavour.

Here is one of my better attempts at photographing some of my pieces in a newly constructed lightbox(thanks, Kat!). The box is really a bit too small, though, as I found that none of the puppets actually fit inside. Lucky rabbits, however, no problemo. So I shall move on to bigger, more spacious lightbox building. Then LOOKOUT! Super awesome pictures will soon be on their way…

“Celebrate”

There’s a party happening somewhere, and Owl is invited. He’s brought a nice present, beautifully wrapped. It is also nice to see him making an effort by wearing a party hat. Some would feel undignified. Not Owl.

This is for Illustration Friday’s word of the week: Flawed.

Something has gone awry with these unfortunate rabbits. They are… flawed.

Owl… with hexagons…

Small drawing of an owl with hexagons. I usually like to use circles or ovals, but hey, why not mix it up.
