Paint Party Friday... Belle

 

Morning Everyone,

Welcome to my wee bit of blogland. I hope your all doing ok. 
Its been quite an eventful week here. I was poorly at the start of the week and then on Wednesday my Gran had to be admitted to hospital. Shes got shingles. :( Shes 90 and its totally floored her.  Glad she is in hospital even with the covid being about as she lives on her own and couldn't even get out of bed. 
As you can see I have now finished my pastel pencil drawing of Belle. Last weeks progress pictures are here if you wanted to see it in progress.

I followed a man called Colin Bradleys tutorial. I tweeked it so it was more like my wooflet. 
Here is my little lady posing the other day. Shes my best friend. 

I have a wee request for folks just now. Its my Mums 70th birthday on the 30th December and I wold love for her to get lots of cards on her day as her fabby holiday away has been cancelled due to covid. If you have a spare birthday card and would like to send it please email me at  (didosdesigns@hotmail.com) With Hazels Mums Birthday in the subject line and I will send you my snail mail address so I can collect the cards here. 

Thanks to everyone who has already offered to send one. You are all wee stars!!!!

Stay Safe and have a great weekend,

Love and Sparkles,

Hazel xx

Challenges I would like to enter are...

Precious pup drawing. Hope your Gran is getting over the shingles. It is a terribly painful illness.

Lovely Belle, but poor Gran, shingles are not nice.

NatureFootstep said...

your drawing is gorgeous, but it can´t match your little one :)

Glad your Gran is cared for, I hope she recover soon.

And take care of yourself too.
