28th January 2014

Back to pencil for one of my most treasured possessions, an old 50p piece with hands on the back. It's the kind of 50p that grants wishes in The Queen's Nose.

(For those outside the UK, the 50p piece was replaced with a smaller version in 1997, so you can't find this design in general circulation any more.)

A quick #witchsona for #witchweek. It's the Tooth Witch! The red hand is for stealing teeth from your mouth in the night. I'll usually put them back.

Not sure if it counts as I've had this one for years already.

Usually in Zelda games I keep Link in the hero's clothes all the time, but not in Spirit Tracks! He looks cute as a button in the train engineer outfit and I put him back in it immediately.

I'm still trying to do something with that watercolour-over-pencil-shading thing. So far I've learned that the paper in this sketchbook is much too thin for watercolour. *facepalm*

Still mining the Treasure Box, a small wooden pendant I got as a child, on a visit to a reconstructed Saxon village. It was my favourite necklace for a very long time, even after the string broke. I'd like to give it a new one if I can find the right materials.

Today in Treasure Box items of no financial value, a piece of a key I found on the pavement.

Still from my Treasure Box, a fossil called a Devil's Toenail. Sometimes I'd find these in the driveway gravel at home.
