A girl and her pencils ..... The end of the Secretary Bird

Well, a happy, happy wet and rainy Monday morning to the world! More rain! Yippee! We only have a half of a storage barrel left to fill and we will have filled everything we have. And very grateful our little garden will be when the temperatures are on the wrong side of 100f later in the year. Today I get to start a new project and you get to see the final work in progress shot of the Secretary Bird. He has been a long time in the making, he has also been quite a challenge to me with all the different feather textures, especially the head feathers which were quite different to anything that I have worked before.

So, that is all for me this morning. I am so excited to be starting a new project, which will be Splodge the cat, you know, because he has great eyes. It always seems to come back to the eyes for me and you will start to notice I tend to alternate feathers and fur. It keeps my interest levels high, as does changing the colors I work with. Have a wonderful Monday wherever you are. I am off to get soaked filling rain barrels before starting my gorgeous cat with the most amazing green eyes. Hopefully there will be something worth showing you in the morning!
