Pembrokeshire Travel Journal

Had a wonderful week in Pembrokeshire - the first time I have taken a vacation in Wales and it hasn't rained all the time. We only had one really wet day, so were able to take advantage of the wonderful beaches in this part of the world. A couple of good surfing beaches too, so we had lots of fun body boarding.

Still working on my travel journal, but here are a few pages...

These were mainly done with Pitt Artist Pen, Watercolour pencils and a waterbrush, but some were watercolour paint.

XmasDecorations

This spread was in response to a challenge on the 'Love This Journal' Yahoo group - to draw your favourite christmas ornaments. I decided to do a page on two of the decorations made by the children a few years ago, and still carefully preserved.

Drawn with Pitt Pen in Moleskine Sketchbook with watercolour pencils, and PanPastel for the border.

Circus pictures

A set of paintings for my granddaughter's room,

The harlequin pattern was painted on the picture mount with acrylic paint and silver pen. The picture is watercolour pencil.

Sophie's Bear

My daughter's bear has played such an important part in her life that I wanted to make sure I captured the memory - what better place than in my journal.

The drawing was done in a Moleskine Sketchbook with watercolour pencils, the photo was an inkjet photo transferred with Sheer Heaven - see technique on my blog here -

Ebony has been having such fun with the toy she got for Christmas I thought it would make a good subject for a journal page.

Attended a fun workshop with the children where we made our own Terracotta Warriors! Great fun, haven't played with clay for years, but hard to get the detail working on this scale...

Map of South East Cornwall where we spent a week's holiday this August. I traced the map and transferred it into my Moleskine sketchbook, then annotated the map to show the places we had visited.

This was a lot harder to draw than I imagined - especially those little rounded buttons on the blue panel!
