What Becca does when she isn't cross stitching

Post by Becca »

So i thought i'd make a thread to show some of the other stuff i've done, it's not all "craft" as such, but i'm sure it will fit in here.

It is all equally stunning, but I think my favourite must be the very first sketch of the cat -- that is beautifully lifelike and I love the "unfinished" look, which somehow seems to make it even more real!

I don't find much time lol, especially now i'm doing my teacher training course. The only time i really have now is the weekends. I just enjoy it so much that all my free time is spent on crafts.

They're prismacolor pencils, i really like them, the colours are really bold and they lay down smooth and thick.
