September

Already September - where have the last few weeks gone? One thing about living in the tropics is that we don't really get season changes - well, apart from one rainy period to the next! I thought I'd put up a collection of photos and sketches to remind me of autumnal colours. The first montage of golden beauties is rather small but if you click to enlarge you will see the details in all their finery!

One of my favourite Malaysian fruits!

Illustration Friday - Artificial

Artificial pear - paper sculpture

I decided to try something completely different for this week's Illustration Friday task. The word is 'artificial' and I've created an artificial fruit that does in fact have a real stalk! I carved the pear from an old paperback book, coloured the edges with ink and added a real stalk with a paper leaf, after I'd eaten the real pear!




My inspiration for this was a new book I bought at the weekend. Check this out if you like playing with paper.
