#dailyart2025: March Part II

 I am still going well with the prompts over on 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and Other Art.  I work in a Petite watercolour journal from Clarity Crafts and use Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils.  Here are my drawings from the second half of March. 

I really struggle with stair cases with open risers.

I love to lose myself in a good book.

For my late father and his love of all things Flanders and Swann (A Transport of Delight).

If penguins need woollies, it must be cold.

I could have been more controversial, but decided against it.

I used to share a bedroom with my twin sister.

A fun end to the month. A quarter of the way through 2025!

Rainbow Miniature Cranes

I thought the miniature cranes which are part of this new stamp set from Clarity Crafts would work well in my signature rainbow colours - what do you think?

Easy Does It Oriental Crane

I paired some of the new Crane stamps from Clarity Crafts with one of the Oriental Pattern stencils for this card.

Japanese Ideas and Inspiration

 As Japan month draws to a close on Clarity Crafts Social TV, I thought I would share some of the projects created using the Floral Panels, Floral Crescent and Geisha & Waterhouse stamps.  Links to each project are below the photos.

On a marbled background (see HERE).

Japanese Landscape

 I decided to have a quick play with one of the new Landscapes by Barbara toppers that I received a a gift with a Clarity order.  I mixed and matched some of the Treescape stamp sets and added a geisha for Japan month.

Hang Out Soon Mini Make

 I used the final set in the first release from Timestamp Creations to create this 4" x 4" mini make.

WOYWW 825/45: No Crop Sorry

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday), the brainchild of Julia, who has kindly entrusted it to me to continue after 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

I am really sorry, but I have had to cancel the crop.  We are all getting older and the numbers able to make it just did not make it financially viable.  I am not out of pocket however, as I cancelled the hall in sufficient time to get my full deposit returned.

I can't show much of what I am working on at the moment.  Lots of secret stuff for Clarity - but if you watch Clarity Social TV on Sunday 6th April you may see some of my work.

Nothing controversial this week with my #dailyart2025, although I was tempted to colour the heart as the US flag.

I hope perhaps we can organise a virtual crop near to the 16th Anniversary - perhaps the 17th May.  If there is anyone who has the professional version of zoom which is not limited to 45 minutes who could host things I would be grateful if you let me know.  We will of course do the usual ATC swap.  With postage being what it is these days I would say perhaps we should limit it to the PIF person on the list, but I am open to discussion.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
