Friday Catch Up - 15th May 2026

Doodlewash Art Challenge / Friday Face Off
Cheetah using watercolours and coloured pencils
Leopard - I fully covered the page with doodle type drawings using outline markers, then drew the leopard on top with acrylic painting pens.

I altered two gelli prints in Photoshop with some of my cutter patterns
[the black parts are the stencil patterns I made for the cutting machine]

Photo Challenges
I went away to Scalby, Near Scarborough for four nights with my two sisters so the photos are from there. Unfortunately it was cold and rather wet for a lot of the time but we still enjoyed ourselves.
Notice the church window peeking through the trees. It looked like the graves were making their way down the slope
There are four benches in the photo above although they are hard to see
My sister spotted this house with the outside door upstairs
The seats in the courtyard of the house we were staying in showing the hail stones.
My flowers of the week are the pretty blue Forget Me Not on the graves

That's all for this week. Hope you enjoy next week!

  1. Lots of great windows to discover Lin. Not only on the distant church, but on that house with it's dormer windows and weird door to nowhere and the big circular one in the hail stones photo.
    Thanks for joining in Monday Window 😀

  3. OMGosh these cats are amazing. The eyes on the Cheetah and the detail on the leopard are fabulous. The patterns that you altered are so hypnotizing. The colors are rich. Very nice finds on the windows and doors too. Thank you for sharing with FFO and don't forget to link up. Have a very nice weekend.

  5. I like how you altered those Gelli prints, and wow, that's really cool how all the forget me nots grew on that grave. It's the perfect flower name for a grave too.

  6. Oh, what a lot of interesting pictures!
    I have missed your gelli prints, so I loved seeing this altered one.
    Even the church window looks like a gravestone.
    I hope no sleepwalkers are living in that house!
    How lovely the duvets of Forget Me Not are!

  9. The cat faces are really wonderful. I like the background you have created for them too. The photo with the Forget Me Not on the graves is beautiful.

  10. Your Leopard turned out magnificent. The background just enhances his lovely face. Also your photos are beautiful. Especially enjoyed the one of the church and the graves on the hill. Have a wonderful day.

  11. Even though it was cold and wet you seem to have caught some beautiful sun breaks.
