The drawings I've been up to lately... :D

Here are some pictures I've taken from the drawings in my favourite notebook... everybody who sees it thinks it's my diary, so I s'posse I can call it that, or sort of anyway...
In school I used to say I'd like to be a Medieval Monk, because they sat, read and drew all day long, more less my idea of paradise back then... still, I decided to get some of it done, and this is what came out. I'm also working in a famous "Book of Kells" image that I uploaded here some time ago. Hope you like it.




This detail on the top left corner is a Huguenot cross... I copied it from a neclace my mother gave me. It belonged to her aunt... so it's quite old, I think. For those who do not know what it means, here's what you need:

this is a page of my "diary", in which I've written psalm 23 in my best handwriting, and drawn a nice frame for it.



this is the head (closer) of the Osprey I copied from "The Book of British Birds" the swallow I got from there as well...
It is a bit sad that I can't do them without looking at someone's previous job, but, one does what one can...
