Transforming a dog's dinner

I was at a friends last weekend for a painting session which we both gave up on after a couple of hours - lol! We both struggled a lot and I overworked mine into a dog's dinner. However, I looked at it this morning and decided to work into it with some inktense pencils and some stenciled text with soft pastels. I love the effects text gives to a piece of work and am pleased at how this particular piece turned out. Shame I didn't take a picture of the original version.

I'm going to use as one of my sketchbook pieces for my creative sketchbooks course, module 4.

I love the shape of horse chestnut leaves so picked some while walking in the park yesterday to use as a base for some drawings / paintings.

And this....... really want to use some text in my textiles.

Bye for now...
