Day 152: 365 days of love
This is a Sunday 365ers project. This week we are taking inspiration from Rebecca Borowski and 365 Days of Love: http://rebecca-365daysoflove.blogspot.co.uk/ Her blog is truly inspirational and full of both love and humor. So here is my love for you, Rebecca:)
Day 151: Toy Mouse
A 10cm toy mouse climbing the tree. I rarely give sense of scale so I thought this would be a good opportunity to do so:)

Day 150: Rose and Cherry - photo shoot
After all that hassle, I decided that a photo shoot was in order. Really proud over myself, I didn't throw it all in the bin after all...
Day 149: Rose
One day at the time and I finished Rose too. I had to cut a new dress for her since the first one got all ugly from many times turning in and out. I had difficulties attaching limbs but finally managed so it looked neat:)
Day 148: Cherry
Tadaa...legs right way round and all. This is Cherry as she has little cherries attached to her hair.
Day 147: Rose and Cherry - part 2
Got my stuffing and started sewing...The first doll was so badly sewn that I had to take it all apart because I wasn't following the technique correctly. Dress part got so badly abused I cut it all off and left it at one side. So I made a start on the other doll, Cherry, it all went really well and I got all parts together as I should. The trick was to sew on arms and legs,fold them inside the doll and then turn the whole thing right way round. I did...and after all that I managed to sew both legs wrong way rounds..AAAAARGH!!!!! So I threw everything in the box and left.
Day 146: New dollies - Rose and Cherry
I got so fed up with drawing so I decided to get my trusted buddy - the sewing machine and make something else. This pattern is from magazine Mollie Makes and it seemed simple, so I cut out all parts, made the hair and then run out of stuffing, easy-peasy, I thought, I'll carry on tomorrow. For sure I will finish this tomorrow...

Day 143: Drawing 9 - more directional strokes
More of directional strokes and tonal values...I can't believe this is so difficult. I sit there and grit my teeth because it is difficult. Instant re-aligning of attitude is needed if I am to continue on these drawings without biting my pen into two (or several) pieces. The exercises are getting harder, after I finish tree-section, water section follows:( It is worth adding I have never bothered to draw anything like this before so no use moaning it is difficult:)
Day 142: Drawing 8 - directional strokes
Short, directional strokes should give an illusion of foliage, something that resembles a birch believe it or not.... in my case I think it is more like a pine:(
Day 141: Drawing 7 - tonal values
Apparently the different pressure on the pen should give tonal variation. This is drawn with 7b pencil but it all looks samey to me, i do try and be light on the hand so I guess just more practice...
