I am doing a really fun online course by @guigfreitas.bsky.social about drawing props and accessories. I'm... not very good at any of it? But I am enjoying the course enormously! For this week's class I decided my theme would be "1950s beauty accessories". Pink or turquoise? :D

The field where Bear and I go when I do his morning walk has been planted with potatoes. Bear was keen to roll around in the mud 😬

An owl just flew into my window. I am watching it to make sure it does not get attacked by a cat.

Thanks! :D Definitely worth playing with a stencil while you're getting used to how to cut your stamps. I did a few including
a bird and a stylised flower thing. Really good way to get used to the lino cutting process and what's easy/difficult without worrying too much about the design itself.

This year's weird holiday craft was teaching myself to do simple lino cut stamps, and today I made my first from one of my own drawings (instead of a stencil). I made a beetle!
