Remember Mitch, my adopted
felted mushroom sculpture? I was cheerfully chosen to give his creator, Shana of
Woodland Whimsy, a gift for this year's Fantasy Artists of Etsy team's
Solstice Swap. After perusing her list of likes, I picked out my
purple unicorn bookmark,
steampunk unicorn magnet and fairy card to send. But I heard Mitch clearing his throat and knew he had a more creative gift idea in mind. He posed prettily as I drew him playing hide and seek in a patch of orange fungi. He was about as successful at blending in as I was at following the poem rules when writing a cute limerick.
There once was a mushroom named Mitch,
Shaped from felt rather than stitch.
He liked to hide in fungi,
But his eyes shone the lie.
That silly shroom didn't mind the hitch!
Mushroom drawing is inked with black
Sakura Pigma Micron Pens and colored with
Prismacolor pencils onto ACEO sized
Strathmore Smooth Bristol Paper.
Colored pencil fantasy art is linked at Sunday Sketches.
