Tiddleybokken Toy Shop

Tiddleybokken, the mischievous Christmas elf, being oh so industrious in Santa's workshop. (I suppose he may have been inspired by the Leggy wallcovering to put his toes up for a bit!)

Buried Questions

Old graveyards intrigue me and cause me to ponder innumerable questions about past lives and secrets.

I could wander through the headstones for hours in retrospection.

My favourites are the tall, beautifully carved, white marble stones from the mid-1800s.

I'm especially fond of the ones that point to a life in Christ.

Finely Carved

My Finely Carved design is in Spoonflower's Wooshop challenge of the week. It was inspired by the carvings on 18th Century commodes.

Leggy

Tables and chairs! That's the theme of this week's Spoonflower challenge. Funnily enough, I was so inspired by the prompt that I was floundering in my ideas. I was running out of time, thinking about how long it would take me to draw a bunch of full tables and chairs, and then this pared-down idea hit me. Leggy showcases my favourite part of furniture: the beautifully carved and turned legs.
