Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum...

Ahoy me Hearties:)


It's International Talk Like A Pirate Day. I think I've got anything vaguely piratey out of my system! We're joining the fun at Little Miss Muffet Stamps, and we've released a couple of Pirate themed images too.

If ever an image did not want to be coloured, this one would be it...

I went out, image partly coloured, and accidentally left the lid off Y23 for a few hours. I was sooooo cross with myself. I've never left a lid off before. Anyway, I must have been a little over zealous with Colourless Blender when resuscitating, poor, dried out, Y23. Then, started colouring, and, 'gloop' out came a massive drop of Y23, all over the parrot.

This was not too much of a disaster, as the parrot wasn't coloured and some Colourless Blender sorted out the rest. But. What happened when I was colouring the parrot, which, I coloured last, had me swearing like a Chef. If you've never heard a Chef swear, trust me, it get's pretty blue!

B26. Dropped. Landed. On. Face. Bounced. Three. Times.

The end.

Looks fabulous to me - no sign of dropped pens or spills. That'll be down to your Copics skills, missus. Hugs, Tracey xx PS FYI, I'd go "Yo ho ho" if I had a bottle of rum". xx

Nice save, the image looks spotless. So to speak.
The cheesecloth looks great on here too!

Hey you, hope all OK with both you and SC and that he's settled back into school OK? Love, love, love this lil pirate, would never know about the spillage and thank goodness Copics are more forgiving than PM's...it's a bin job if the lid gets left off! :) Donna ♥ x

Ahoy there matey... Shiver me Timbers!! This gentleman o'fortune looks like he may have just come across some pieces of eight... he'll be off with his booty onto the high seas soon... with YR23 (less) pirate on his shoulder...

OK, I think that's my pirate talk over and done with.. (though I may be a day late..)

Not having much luck with your pens, were you? but your creation doesn't show it... FABULOUS colouring as always!

Hmm... and yes.... I've heard a chef swear....... before I covered my delicate ears!!

Have a good weekend hon..
