Spooky Tree doodle



My youngest daughter was on the computer in my studio so i was sitting with nothing to do but look at cbbc so i picked an off cut of pastel paper and started to doodle then millie got board of cbbc when the pastels came out so she finished it off with me, the end result was a spooky looking tree.

Merry Christmas

Marmalade Kitten


The kids have been asking me to do some fury creatures so i thought this kitten might shut them up for a wile and just to make sure i put a pink back ground in should do the trick.
