Travel painting on an artist trading card, from a personal reference photo of “Bridge Without a Name” by Ai Weiwei, an art piece at the Middelheim Museum in Antwerp.

Ink and watercolour
2.5x3.5 inches

Study of the same scene in limited palettes (3 paints only per piece), on different papers. Rough watercolour paper, 100% cotton by Khadi Handmade, then 2 more in my Strathmore watercolour sketchbook, which is cellulose, then on the rough watercolour paper again using oil pastels.

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chunky-autumn-cowl Just added proper photos to this pattern and updated the PDF so it's clearer and fits all on one page! Pattern is FREE and perfect for working on in the autumn weather, and will be a cozy fall or winter accessory.

I have something absolutely EXCITING to share with you all! My pattern, Bells and Cockleshells Cowl, has been published in Knotions Magazine's October 2018 issue! It's a knit cowl with a stretchy, ribbing-based lace stitch that looks way more complex that it actually is to work, and uses less than one skein of a precious sport weight yarn. Pattern is FREE at https://knotions.com/issues/october-2018/pattern-october-2018/bells-and-cockleshells-cowl/

Never thought about this. Gonna be bothered forever by it.
