Tiger's House

I'm making a home for a Tiger. He is part of the picture book I've been working on. House is made out of cardboard and there are real pressed fern leaves in the wallpaper. I used glue and gesso to make that. A round table is made out of an old book cover, chess pieces and wooden beads. Chairs are also of recycled materials. I dismantled a wooden dish drying rack which I found and used bits of its wood for the chairs. Window is made with quilling technique using paper, Glossy Accent and enamel paint. I love using jigsaw puzzle pieces as floor tiles. Here I used a bigger puzzle as I usually use 1000 pieces puzzles.

Let's Fly, Let's Fly Away

I have been working - slowly but surely - on this story about a cat called Mau and a dog called Curly. They travel to a far away land. I have written a story and I make illustrations for it by photographing miniature scenes. I can only work on it when I'm not busy with other work but I hope I could finish it this year or next. This week I was making one of the illustrations and suddenly had an idea to try to animate it. It's my first attempt ever so I know it's far from perfect. But it made me happy anyway, it's exciting to see my characters come alive and it was fun to learn something new!
