Winter Days

Apologies for lack of posting, life, commitments, and random happenings all took their toll for my absence.
I will be closing my Etsy shops for the Christmas period soon, but you can still order Digital supplies and digital Christmas tags by contacting me via this blog, as Digital doesn't have to Bend to Post Office last posting dates.
Most of my art supplies are packed away along with my large drawing board, as I was hoping to get the lounge re plastered before Christmas, well you still never know!!.
So I am playing with the computer digital designs, and feeling a little like an old toy maker, sat in my armchair in the warm and making models, of animals of course:)
Here are a few pictures of finished works The spotted Piggy hanger was a gift for Helen my friend, who loves pigs, you didn't guess that did you.
I made the Fox hanger for our home, its Hopalong, a fox who was friends with my horse Woozle. He was injured one autumn, hence his name. He was very gentle and would sit down beside Mark, and gently take dog treats from his hand.
The Bunny/hare and cat I am still working on,carving and sanding.
I find I am enjoying the modelling, more than the painting as I find detailed work a bit of a strain on the eyesight at the moment.

What beautiful work Linda! I love the little fox. You are creative in so many ways. Soon I will be putting a stop to painting and crafting, it does take up quite a bit of time that is better spent enjoying the season. Take care and Happy Holidays :-)
