Those of you who know me quite well will be aware that I have a bit of an obsession with penguins which goes beyond love and I think slides into adoration! At one stage I had almost 100 penguins in various guises around the house. Sadly when we moved from our largish vicarage into a small house I had to be brave and rehome a lot of them.
Even so I now have penguins in every room in the house except the conservatory which also acts as my husbands study and has to be penguin free. Although Christmas is a different matter when the tree goes up! There are even a couple of penguins sitting by my pond in the garden.
Just for interest I went round the house and counted up how many there are and here are the results of my survey.
My study - 4
Bedroom - 11
Spare bedroom - 1
Bathroom - 2
Lounge/diner - 7
Kitchen - 4
Total: 29
Then there are the 2 in the garden and all the penguin socks and jumpers! At Christmas the number shoots up again for a while.
So even after an extensive re-homing programme and friends and family under instruction from my husband not to give me anymore penguins (ha like that will work!) there are still a goodly number around the place.
Materials used:
X-Press It card
blue card cut to ATC size
white printer card
Copic pens:
penguin - W3, W5, W7,W9 E40, E41, E43 RV000
beak and feet - Y11, Y15, Y17, YR14, E15
scarf - B12, B24, B28, B29 V04, V06, V09 Y11, Y15, Y17 C0, C1, C3, C5
The banner down the side has been made up on the computer, printed out on white card and trimmed to size. The little penguin is coloured in then cut out leaving a small white edge and attached to the blue ATC card.

ReplyDeleteOh, he is adorable and I can see why you like penguins! They are such sweet and interesting birds! Love your coloring!!
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to read about you having to re-home many of your penguins Pippa, I have the same adoration for snowmen... and it doesn't even snow here! I'm glad you still have a few floating around the house and yard.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a fantastic job with the colouring, your blending and highlighting is gorgeous. I also love the "PENGUIN" sentiment down the side of the card with the cute little heart. Very sweet.
Cheers,
Beccy
