These were done with Polychromo colored pencils on illustration board. They're the front and back view of the same scene - get it? Actually there's one tragic flaw in it that I didn't realize until it was all done. I know I shouldn't point that out, but in case anyone sees it, I want you to know that I'm aware, thank you very much.
I've been fiddling with some water soluble colored pencils, so will post about that in a few days. I'm in a "trying to figure out THE perfect medium/technique" sort of quest, the best of all worlds, and the water pencils are my newest 'thing'. Actually I've had this set of Faber Castells forever, and had decided I didn't like them for some reason way back whenever, so banished them to the bottom of the colored pencil pile. With the Inktense. And Graphitints. But I fished them out and think now that they might hold some promise. I'll let you know ...

I actually thought of your work when I saw the topic, as you have so many beautiful knit-related subjects. I love this - was it for a children's book or just for fun? I want to know the story of these mice!

Super - love the detailed stitches!
Well, now I've stared at it for an hour and still can't find the "flaw". Looks pretty damn perfect to me. (spill!)
