My first painting using iridescent acrylics. I then fiddled with the levels in photoshop to enhance the effect. This little guy is a Bobtail squid.





Also check out this cute series of animations for Animal Planet ms_daisy_cutter sent me. There's a whole set if you click through to YouTube

First of all, I've nearly finished the squid. I need to sew up the insides where the head meets the body and then make a felt eye. (The one in the picture is the paper pattern.) I think he's come out pretty well for my first sewing project.




Here are some more sketches from the zoo. It's a red crested turaco.





Arachnophobes beware, I've started the spider records at work. //\\( " )//\\
