A Windmill in Cocot!

 Hello Everyone, I do hope all is well with you and that your new week has got off to a good start.

It's been a mixed bag of weather up here but the temperature has gone way up, but high winds and a bit of rain.

Our weekend was highlighted with a lovely Valentine M&S meal, chocolates and flowers, and they say romance is dead lol.

Thank you for the lovely comments about the cards on my last post, all of them appreciated. 

I have a finished page for you today from one of my newer books, the artist is a Japanese lady called Eriy and all her drawings are made with a toothpick and ink., here's the book;


It's a lovely book, and a story of an imaginary  country called Cocot. Very whimsical. Anyhoo here is my coloured page;


 Cocot has lots of windmills and here is one of them. I coloured it up with Prismacolour pencils, some gel pen and a watercoloured sky......wish I hadn't as I don't really like it, not used to doing such a large area in watercolour...you live and learn. I added some little flowers and dandelions, from Little Clair stamps and the birds are by Inkylicious. And the little duck who is a resident of Cocot is called Joset, and she is one of the little characters that pop up throughout the book. Hope you like it, it was fun to do.

That's all for now, hoping to get around to visiting your blogs later tonight. Keep safe everyone,

Another super page Kate. I did see this when you published your post so may be my comment didn't work. I do remember it because a thought I had and I wondered if, was maybe if the paper would hold it, someone could add to these pages with stamping or stencils using compatible products. I love it how it is especially the little duck. So cute. Take care, stay safe, hugs Flo xx
