Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
I hope year of the dragon brings you happiness, health and all the good things!
Here in Toronto you'll see pretty Asian lanterns and New Year greetings everywhere.
I love how multicultural this city is.
I've used:

HB pencil
colored pencils
watercolors . Gold gouache
Stamp
Some persimmon beads I've made for earrings
&
My beloved persimmon teapot

    How do you get your polymer clay to look fuzzy like that? You always make such great things, so jealous!

    Beautiful work and so detailed! You must have amazing eyesight! Thankyou for sharing the materials you used, the black outline is a lovely contrast tio the softer colours of the pencils. Such sweet earrings too.:)

    i cannot help but love your sketchbook pages. just enough collage and paint and you still leave some pencil and just plain ink.
    i used to swear by the micron 005, have you tried the Pilot g tec c 0.25?

    a little less waterproof, but such a nice rollerball, you never have the old micron pen breakdown. i used to buy one every week!
