Ooh, thank you kindly! Very glad that you liked it :) I must admit I am having a blast with pencils at the moment. I've always dabbled in art (pencils, watercolour, ink, pastel etc) and after finally coming back to pencils that are softer and more blendable, feel like I have *found* my medium. The only drawback is they are not quick, oh no.
Usable art to take away and handle is a lovely concept. And one reason that I cut around the image in the way I did, was so that using it was a more tactile experience. (Is this going too deep for a bookmark, lol?).
Additionally, let it be known, I am similarly jealous of your watercolours ;) I always feel watercolours are saying to me, "Go on, you try it, just you try moving the brush like that and we will WRECK THE WHOLE THING".
