Tea Birds - Sunday Sketches

 


I'm linking this post back to Sunday Sketches.  It's my first time participating, though I've been meaning to for a while!  On Saturday I did a 20 mile walk as part of my training for a 25 mile hike in two weeks' time.  The route we took was beautiful and scenic, but I was pretty exhausted when I got back, so it was nice to have a super chilled out day today.  The weather was warm so we found a sunny beer garden and stayed there for most of the afternoon.  Will was drawing some maps for a D&D adventure he's written and I had my sketchpad and pens and whiled away the time drawing some ideas for birds and tea.  All very relaxing!

      Thanks Jennifer :) I feel a bit more confident of the hike now that I know I can do 20 miles and survive...!

      Thank you so much Paper Rainbow! It's so nice to find a place that's a sun-trap where you can spend the whole day :)

    I am so glad you joined in Sunday Sketches because it led me to your blog... I love these little bird and tea sketches and I am thinking that I should take my cuppa outside in the hope some lovely birds will come and squeeze my tea bag for me... love it and hope you join in again...xx

    Ok, first of all, I love your little purple profile bird--so cute! And so are your illustrations here. I love the way they are working together to ring out the tea bag. Thank you for stopping by my blog for Sunday Sketch.

    As I said I love the level of detail you put into your work Poppylocke. I wish these little birdies were here right now as I could really do with another cuppa and I don't want to walk into the kitchen.

      Thanks Chibi! It really would be cool to have real-life tea-birds sometimes! We could give them cake, they could make tea - it'd be perfect! :)

    20-25 mile hikes? Yikes! What an adventure though. I love your pieces. I think hummingbirds are just magical and I love your little birdies in the second one too.

      Thanks so much Marta! Wow, Tough Mudder?! A friend of mine did it last year and it was definitely tough, but he had an awesome time! Sounds like you're getting the training in nice and early! :)
