I picked out Miner, Plumber and Shepherd to illustrate the first part of this project.
I especially enjoy my mole and his strange face.
The sheepdog worked as a shepherd but I changed him to match the mole when asked to bring them together using the sentence 'He was by far the best at this'.
Naturally this meant that I was going to make my shepherd have a helicopter tail and have millions of balloons hoisting the miner into the air...
The final piece was the length of A2 but quite thin. I used Cross stitch for the balloons, fabric and stitch for the clouds, Graph paper collaged for the sky and then Gouache for characters and hills.
