ink & watercolour illustration, 8" x 10" [20.5 x 25.5cm]
Last post, our talk of rose petal tea and rose water led me to thinking of
peppermint tea, which led me to wandering through this alleyway in Morocco. {Just in my imagination, as you've come to expect...} When I kept this charming holiday snap of Katie's as fodder for an illustration
{thanks as always, Katie!!}, my first quick glance of it assumed a bicycle to be leaning in the foreground. When I sat and started drawing, I stopped before adding a second wheel and had to zoom, re-zoom and hydrate my contact lenses to be sure ~ it looks like this is some kind of unicycle, or the end result of a practical joke. I can't help wondering if there's a circus clown slaving over a tajine with Katie in a cooking class behind one of these doors...
Please, join me if you can, no matter what the amount, by clicking on the ChipIn button over in the little widget on the top right to help raise $50,000 by mid January to help provide warm beds, love and care for the 16,000 abandoned or neglected animals expected at the RSPCA Victoria's animal shelters over the Christmas period. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who's already donated! Here's more info...
