Well, that was another busy weekend! We've had a birthday, beer festival and barbecue combined with moving into our new home! I'm going to use today's comic strip diary for
Creative Tuesdays as, coincidentally, the theme this week is 'moving'!

| The day we moved out |
We had a lovely day with my sister, Kerry and her boyfriend, Dan who were camping in Woolacombe in north Devon. It was so windy and cold that Sam and I chickened out of going in the sea, but Kerry and Dan were a lot braver and ventured in to try out bodyboarding. Getting Kerry out of the wetsuit required a little help on my part...
I made a card for a friend's birthday and thought that while I was doing one I may as well make a few more! Here I am painting them.

They're line drawings painted with watercolours, set on coloured card on a square, plain white greeting card.

| Funny coloured mackerel! |
 |
| Starfish, mussels and barnacles. |

| Seagull eating it's favourite food1 |
I was so pleased with how these have come out that I'm just about to start on some more! I'll leave you with this photo of chilly Woolacombe, not sure I like being back in this English weather!

You made me laugh with that wetsuit, yes the English weather is definetley not what I came to the UK for! However I can see how inspired you were creating the cards I like them very much! ManonX
ReplyDeleteOh you are back from your travels. The watercolour cards are just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the seagulls! I've been photographing seagulls this week so I'm sure I'll be drawing, painting or sewing a few of these soon!
ReplyDeleteI too love the cheeky seagull but they are all wonderful. Do I see that you were left with the flat pack? This is always my job too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards,I'm a sucker for boats and think yours with the seagull is just great :)
ReplyDeleteYou're drawings are soo pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI love the gull eating chips!
The wet suit photo made me laugh :D and I love the seagulls!
ReplyDeleteThe chip stealing seagull is very cute - I have had experience with this in real life!
ReplyDeleteLove the drawings, very cute. My favourite has to be the seagull with the chip!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how you managed to fit all that in to one weekend, including having time to create some watercolours for cards! Surely there must be more than one of you! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour watercolours are lovely, whoever receives on for there birthday is getting a work of art as well as a card.
I hope you have a great week, you must have boxes to empty so I hope you get organised too :-)

Such a nice comic:) I tried to make comics before. I was on a comic course once. Making stories myself are still do diffiucult for me so I stick up with illustrations. I really like your seagulls and fishes. Especially that seagull with frenchfries around.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful watercolours I love to watercolour some of my cards too.
ReplyDeleteJust popped over from Handmade Monday
Great cards, I love your paintings, sea gulls seem to be a popular bird, I've just done one on a beach hut. They are so iconic of the seaside.
ReplyDeleteWith the 'Great English' weather I wouldn't venture into the water either. :)
