Elliot has his tuxedo on!

Carving is done on this Love Cat - shoutout to @terryrunyan for the inspiration for the moveable tail!

Carving the face, love his little gob!

Started a new fun carving today - meet Elliot, our handsome tuxedo cat!

Finished up the volvelle I posted about earlier - very pleased to have another cipher wheel to put to use creating texts in the Alchemy Notebook.

Lunar Volvelle: I created this moving paper wheel to track the cycle of the moon - as a page in my Alchemy Notebook.

This one is painted with watercolor and gouache - made as a page in my Moleskine sketchbook with the pages tinted to make it look aged.

The wheel is in place and turns well - now I will work on the cipher characters that go on the following page. This cipher wheel will be very useful for creating future pages in the notebook. More to come!
