Brrr! still snow and thunder over the islands. I cut out the 'c' shape and drew round it so that each one was overlapped twice. I filled in the negative shapes with water colour which bled, so tried to hide that and make it less noticeable. 'D' is a sudoku puzzle using computer fonts, printed out on tissue paper. 'E' is made with the fingers of my left hand, embossing powder and water colour. 'F' is made with a brush over scored and folded paper curves. 'G' looked better in it's simple form but it's too late now. There are lots of 'H's made with water colour and pointed brush and lastly some rosemary twigs go through the press, then penned over and painted with the 'I' behind. The paper still fragrant.

Thank you for the positive comments. (-: I think the strips are quite disjointed at the moment and I notice there have been no drawings from my desk. Must remedy that. I am ahead because the next week will be very busy.
Pullover update. My darns didn't last long, the leather patches are now on.
Your blog continues to inspire.
