Well what a lovely day it has been with the sun shining......I spent my afternoon making this Edwin for the Magnolia-licious challenge. It is the first sketch I have ever followed and am really pleased with how it turned out.
I coloured him with my copics, Warm Grays and E40-50's. The edge of edwin is made using inkdusters with Tim Holtz Tea Dye, Walnut Stain and Antique Linen. I had real fun making this...it ended up getting larger and larger so it became 8x8. I am hoping to make my other half a graduation album for the summer so this may well be my front page.
I'd love to know what you all think, also here is a link to the challenge
Best Wishes to you all

You did an excellent job Alex! Edwin looks very manly and I love the cord and tassels you used. The ribbon buckle is a wonderful addition also! Wonderful work...
Love the way you colored Edwin! And your card is gorgeous. Great job!
O fantastic take on the sketch Alex! Love the scroll work in the corner and the tassel. Reminds me a bit of an old library and with Edwin sitting on his books..just perfect!
