A Wonderful Christmas Festival


Martina and Nikki had a great day, busy selling our cards, brooches, mugs, notebooks, tea towels, wrapping paper and silk screen prints at the Godalming Christmas festival. 


It is always nice to meet our customers, new and familiar faces. Some also got to see Peppa Pig at the Pepperpot as she turned on the Christmas lights of glittering icicles which illuminated the whole Town. If you mist us visit our online shop here.

Godalming: Drawing In Our Town!

 Work in Progress.....


Can you find these familiar buildings? 


  
 
In the beginning.....
We worked around the edge

 and in our sketch books
  




 
Roughly 70% is drawn free hand directly onto the picture.
The other 30% has been drawn in a sketch book and is then transferred.
 This enables us to play with the composition, to get it just right. 


What about the centre?
We thought about a lake, but somebody pointed out that it could look like a giant eye. Then we considered the band stand. Finally we decided to have a band playing with dancers. 

Celebrating both the town- and our hard work!! 


 Well done to both Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon groups for all their hard work.


It's all drawn, we just need to fill in the details and block parts out to get a bit of depth. 

We hope to finish it before Christmas.
