A scientist by day and a crafty person in my free time. Mainly interested in urban sketching (line and wash), cross stitching, and now learning embroidery.
Another page in my Peru travel sketchbook from my first day in Lima.

I didn't have the time or energy to sketch on my trip to Peru, but I'm starting to sketch my travels. Kicked this sketchbook off with the dates (inspired by Danny Hawk's method).

I've made a lot of progress since the last time I posted this project. Working my way through the orange colors right now.

Pattern purchased from CutePatternsByMaria on Etsy.

It's been awhile. Going back through my pictures from my Spain trip last summer. Here's a sketch of a gilded lamp post outside of the Palacio Real of Madrid.

Worth getting some gold watercolor paint!

My coral knots and bullion knots need work, but I've enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next project!

Short weekend trip means a lot of cross stitching in the car. This is my third ongoing cross stitch project. Nearly there, just a border and some clouds. This is part of The Posy Collection, picked up in The Gateway Arch gift store.

Learning something new tonight! I've had this dropcloth sampler for awhile and decided to finally give it a go. Enjoying it so far!

Today I enjoyed the lovely weather and made a sketch of my front porch. Lots of challenging shadows, but pleased with the end result!

Finished the third door in Sketching Scottie's door tutorial. I love how this one came out! Feeling ready to sketch any doors I may encounter in my travels!

A scene from my walk on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail today. Different than my usual work, but just wanted to practice being quick with sketching and just had fun with the watercolor.

A quick little sketch of this shed with graffiti I see every day at the train station. A quick pencil sketch on the platform and tried out watercolor pencils for the color.

Finished the second door in the recent tutorial by Sketching Scottie. This is a very well photographed door in Notting Hill (which somehow I missed when I was there last year). I love how it turned out.

One door to go!

My attempt at one-third of a recent tutorial by Sketching Scottie on Patreon. Using a watercolor block so the other two doors will follow.

It's been almost 2 months since I sketched anything... It's been a busy summer. Getting back into it with a cute little waterfront house (I believe it's in Greenspond, Newfoundland).

It's been a busy few weeks. Finally had time to do some crafting and continued working on this cross stitch kit I picked up last summer at the Real Alcázar in Sevilla Spain.

I finished adding another green to this hobbit hole stitch today. I'm loving how the door is starting to stand out.

Yesterday I tried one sketch in a sketching people tutorial by Sketching Scottie on Patreon. I used my Posca pen a bit to fit some mistakes, but I'm happy with how it turned out so far. Watercolor to follow.
