I finished a second bag last week, this one in Estelle Linocott purple. Pattern was slightly adjusted to make a wider tote. richtexturescrochet.com/bingley-mark... Bonus rose photos 🌹

Another shroom doodle, this one inspired by fool's mushroom.

A black ink figure facing to the left, wearing an oversized bonnet shaped like a flat mushroom cap along with an ankle length dress. A gathered collar begins the light top layer with off-shoulder short sleeves. It has a hem dotted with a laser cut style design. The skirt is fitted at the hip then expands, finally pulled back into a ballooned shape with hefty gathers at the ankle. The hem frills out from below the gathers. Vertical piping is along the seams of the skirt. Matching choker necklace, ring, and strappy stiletto shoes are worn.

A photo of a fool's mushroom also known as amanita verna. Peering up at the gills under the wide flat white mushroom cap, the long white stem has a short draping frill one third of the way down from the cap. Set against a dark brown bed of leaves and bark.

Did a doodle yesterday inspired by a stinkhorn mushroom image on Wikipedia.

A black ink sketch on white paper of a dress. The white sleeveless top of the dress has rows of organically shaped vertical black ovals. The ovals are small at the collarbone, large on the chest, and decreasing in size as the rows move towards the waist. The black miniskirt is surrounded by a globe-shaped open geometry skirt in white. The figure wears pointed toe black heels and large bead jewelry, hair pulled up in a bun.

Photo of a stinkhorn mushroom from Wikipedia: the conical top of the mushroom is brown and porous like a morel. It has a white stem surrounded by a white fungi net-looking membrane. It sits amongst a bed of brown and green leaves.

Happy birthday to me! Windows open, work done, dinner ordered: time to relax the rest of the day 🥰 Maybe some sketches while I wait for food 😅

Sitting with my right arm resting on the white blanket covering the back of my couch, resting my head gently on my hand.

Here's some old sketches, I really should do some more 😅 if you have any prompts or theme idea I'd love to have some inspiration!

A fashion sketch of a dress based on a geode. The dress is in blues and teals with yellow trim, has a v-neckline and extended shoulder sleeves. The skirt is multi-layered drill and pleats with an asymmetric hem. Accessories are a yellow and blue gem necklace, blue strap heels, and yellow mohawk-styled hair.

A fashion sketch inspired by punk looks. A vest with large multi-spiked shoulder pads and square studs on the front. The mini-skirt is covered in dangling spikes and there is a belt at the waist and hips, fishnet tights as a base. The knee-high boots have studs along the top and spikes down the side seams. Accessories are a spiked collar and bracelets, hair styled into punk liberty spikes.

4 Fashion sketches inspired by Cruella DeVille. Black and white outfits with red gloves and boots accents. Leftmost is a knee-length dress with zebra stripe trim at the waist, hem, and oversized hat. Next is a black top and knee-length skirt from the back, fluffy fur at the shoulder, hips, and wrist. Then to the right is a long white fur coat seen from the side, draping lavishly off the shoulder with a matching purse. Rightmost is a long spotted fur coat seen from the back with a matching hat and a wide black belt.

Fashion sketch on the left inspired by the bushel of wheat on the right. The strapless ankle-length dress seen from the side has wheat fronds at the hem with a v-neckline. Accessories are a chunky square-cut necklace and bracelet set along with a belt and strappy heels. Hair is styled into a neat high ponytail.

A story in 4 parts 💜🐾

Mitzi, a brown calico cat, getting her favorite belly rubs. She is laying on her side on my outstretched legs, which are covered in a cream color blanket. Her hind legs are up so I can pet her as she purrs happily.

I captured a picture of Mitzi's toe beans on her left hind-paw. Three of the toe beans are captured, two dark brown and one a mix of brown and pink. Her dark brown paw pad is also showing against the white fur of her paw. My finger is happily pointing at her paw because it is so cute! Her white right hind-paw rests against my finger on the left of the frame.

Found Mitzi being a menace at 5am going after my palm plant on top of my bookshelf. Managed to get a fun photo during my battle of keep-away with her after moving it to the window sill. Her perseverance is frustrating but watching her try to math things out is fascinating 😅

Mitzi, a brown and white cat with green eyes, perched atop a small row of books on a glass shelf. She is calculating a path to her new favorite chew toy: my palm plant. In front of the books she is on is a glass dome containing a fairy figure and there is a framed artwork to the right. The shelf above also houses books and a glass dome filled with rock specimens.

Post an old #illustration you still like I have a couple on hand, one from 2005, a sketch of a yoyo from memory. One from 2020 in my pantone figures sketchbook inspired by kpop fashions. (Love using this sketchbook to focus on the design instead of the figure)

A sketch in pencil and pencil crayon on white paper in a sketchbook from 2005 of a hand playing with a yoyo. The drawing was done from memory, attempting to capture the vision of a yoyo in motion returning up to the hand which is ready to catch it. The yoyo is orange and yellow. The hand is in pencil, and the sweatshirt sleeve below the hand has some blue along with pencil.

Fashion sketch done in a pantone figure sketchbook. The outfit is a wide v-neck sweater over a collared shirt, shorts with a long belt tied and dangling in front layered with thigh-length fishnet shorts. Wearing knee high athletic socks and sneakers. She has long hair with a butterfly shaped hair clip and is making a kissy face with a heart and star on her cheeks. Sketch is in black ink on white paper with color swatches across the bottom of the page
