• Thanks for all your suggestions for making clock face numbers. I and Going with George Evans who suggested making a snake in the shape of a number two,
    Have you got ideas for number 3? put them in the comments box below!


  • I got a clock from ikea that I could pull apart and reline with a new clock face. I want to draw all the numbers, but I want them to be different – and I want you to help me.

    I need ideas for numbers 2-12 – What can you think of that represents the number or that the number represents? Please put your answer in the comments box below.

    If I like your idea, I’ll draw it and give you a shout out. When it’s finished, I’ll post the whole thing so you can download and print it out and make your own ShooRaynerDrawing clock!


  • I had a long weekend, starting with a day at Waddesdon manor, where there was a really inspiring exhibition of drawings by the Sculptor, Henry Moore. It really got my juices going, but I only had 20 mins or so because I was in a family party moving around the building.

    On Saturday, My nephew got married. It was a fun and joyous occasion, but I felt a little inhibited when it came to drawing. I didn’t want to upset his new family with anny wry or quirky drawings or observations!
