Ste's Moly - Impossible Tree

My contribution to Ste's moleskine for the 42nd moleskine exchange, in which I sort-of-failed-to-reread-the-theme immediately prior to leaping into the picture. It was meant to be "something from your imagination that isn't based on anything in the real, physical world", so I've called it "Impossible Tree" - sorry, Ste!

put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out,
we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss,
we're doing our best, afore she comes, to--' At this moment Five, who
had been anxiously looking across the garden, called out `The Queen!
The Queen!' and the three gardeners instantly threw themselves flat
upon their faces. There was a sound of many footsteps, and Alice
looked round, eager to see the Queen."

Greetings from Mars

I've finally caught up and drawn my sketch in Amy's "Red" themed sketchbook.

I bought myself a new set of fine line felt tip pens, and used them all here, like a kid at Christmas.

The scanner hasn't done a brilliant job with the purples. The colours are a bit better in real life.

AnnaDenise's witch

Here's my entry in Yoda's Moleskine!

I decided to draw Vrouw Holle (Mother Hulda). Not sure if we can technically call her a witch, but she is a mythical figure with magical powers, so I think that counts. I loved that story when I was little.

My drawing is based on Otto Ubbelohde's drawing.

Baa Baa Black Sheep For Elvia

For Elvia's Farm Animal moly, I pasted in one of my woodcut prints. The black sheep block printed on kitakata paper is accompanied by some watercolor pencil hay rolls to continue Nan's theme.

Ana Denise's moleskine done.

Some of the things inside my bag. I hope you like it, I will be sending it to Yoda Monday.
