The Letter G

The Letter this time for The Craft Alpha/Challenge is G. I picked the word Gnome. I love Gnomes! When I was a teenager my mother bought me this beautiful book about Gnomes. It has the most beautiful pictures in it. I spent many a happy day drawing  pictures of the Gnomes. I believe my birthday cards that I made that year had these happy creatures on it.

After 40 years I attempted to recreate a Gnome. I  had fun doing it and it brought back memories I had forgotten. I also included a Gnome home which is  in a tree. This was all freehand and  maybe not the best but who cares. I was a kid again for a while.

I used Spectrum Noir markers, acrylic paints through a stencil, watercolor pencils, and stamps with inks.  Also some pencil, pens, gel pen and a paint pen.  Sheesh, I think I wanted to use everything I had!!!!!!!!!


This has been fun and I can't wait to find out what the next letter is!

  5. Fun pages created from happy memories. I'm pleased the gnome has a little house so he can shelter from the April showers!
