pensnestI is going to see Backstreet next May! Hee. It's never to late to be a teenager.
I didn't have a lot of time for my computer yesterday, as I spent most of the day painting. I'd promised to make large cards for two people in the theatre group who have eightieth birthdays this month, so I sat in the dining room with 'Have His Carcass' being soothingly read to me by Ian Carmichael, painting and getting woozy with the fumes of glass paint.
I did produce other stuff as well, but the cards - both A4 sized, but the images are reduced! - are rather magnificent.
For the lady:
The flowers are a shape I do frequently (some of you may recognise them from your cards), which I originally found in a tacky reproduction medieval book. The card is actually a paler colour than it looks here, but the picture is reasonably accurately represented.
And for the gent:
The waterfall background is based on a lovely card I found on my first (or second) trip to the USA nearly ten years ago, and the kingfisher seemed like a good idea. I did a couple of oval glass suncatchers with this basic design some years ago, but I'd kept the drawing, happily.
