Pazyryk deer....and a new Blog!



Here's a piccie of the Pazyryk "deer" that I did back in 1998...

I'd read an article about the excavation of a Pazyryk "Princesses" tomb in National Geographic, and was really taken with the tattoo she had on her arm.

So, I got a bit of turban cotton, and a pot of Citadel blue wash and did this copy of the design. It's outlined in gold pen.

I recently found a book entitled "Art of the Steppe" on one of our second-hand-book-hunting jaunts....

...there are LOADS of lovely pictures in there.....


Oh Good Grief!.....more project material!............


...as if I didn't have enough already.....:-)


...and my new blog Paper and Word is now up and running....


..hope you enjoy it........
