Penny pusher!

I’m combining a few challenges today — this week’s mixed media challenge at Splitcoast (here) is an intriguing technique that produces a sort of wonky grid by pushing a coin with a pencil. It made me think of the slightly off-square pastries in the current photo inspiration challenge at Time Out and I made it a trio by using a “thank you” sentiment to fit another Splitcoast challenge.

As well as the pastries at Time Out, I took inspiration from the orange, yellow, beige and brown colours and the fluted outline of pattypan squash always makes me think of a flower!

The sunflower and leaf sprays were in my bits box, the background piece had the grid filled in with watercolour and Copic markers, the pencil lines were traced over with a fineliner and the cross over points have little copper gel pen details.
