“Paws”

“Paws”, May 2022, Lucy W, SkyBluePinkWithYellowDots.uk

Hey! Paws the collie puppy is having a great day and he hopes you are too! He’s been busy playing and now he’s all puffed out… Time for a rest! πŸ˜ƒ

In summer last year, we lost my Granma 😭Today would have been her birthday, so to honour her, here is a picture I made for her to make her feel better after a hospital stay….

I painted her a happy puppy 😊 I chose bright, contrasting colours to help her see him (the blue merle colouring worked well for this I think!) – she loved him and named him Paws! 🐢 She displayed him in pride of place so she could look at him ❀️

I used watercolour brush pens (Arteza), pigment liners (Staedler) for the outlines, and worked on 300gsm smooth watercolour paper (Aquafine).

Hufflepuff Badger!

Hufflepuff Badger, June 2021, Lucy W

Based on badger pattern in the Spring 2021 issue of Cross Stitch Favourites magazine

I made this for Father’s Day 2021, because my dad loves Hufflepuff things! So when I saw this cute badger pattern I just had to personalise it for him! πŸ˜ƒ

I did change a few things about the pattern – added the scarf and more flowers, and tweaked the grass to better fit the hoop. Think it works well! πŸ˜ƒ
