Wool. (Illustration Friday)

This week's topic was wool. As you may, or may not know, I'm not the best person to depict "cute" things; so a cuddly lamb or sheep was out of the question. I chose to depict a woolly man knitting his woolly beard.


Despite my knitted beard and customary furrowed brow,  I tried to not take this self-portrait and indeed myself, too seriously...  maybe I'm just being guilty of woolly thinking?

  2. Wow! Totally amazing. And very fun idea! You do look a *little* serious. Or perhaps you've just poked your face with a knitting needle!

  4. Thanks very much for the great comments. As for looking serious Cindy, I must've poked myself in the face when I bent down to pick up a dropped stitch! And for the background Sasha, I believe it's a texture from a photo I took of the Brunel Viaduct/bridge in Chippenham, overlayed onto the murky green background. Thanks once again.
