I-F: Foggy

Fog is....
Here is my illo for Illustration Friday this week, done in my moleskine. I am trying to build on the fun I had doing collage in the book that I just finished. I really like the effects of painting over the collaged paper (japanese washi paper in this case) and want to keep working with this!

It's nice to be back to I-Fs after a little break. The break was mostly focussed on doing 'house stuff' which was a lot of fun but I found I missed illustration. Luckily they are not mutually exclusive! They are quite the opposite - they feed one another so I am excited to post fun housey things as well as illustration here.

Looking forward to seeing other people's contributions to IF this week, it's been a while since I've made the rounds :-)

Oh, brilliant! This is really adorable, and I love how you made the cloud/fog! We had practically the same idea for what fog is, but I like your clouds much, much better!
