Crazy parrot which loves to play cards

I finished my studies in Spain and now Iam back again in Austria for the whole summer before I head back to continue my studies in Wales. I already got a fulltime job and I try to use any free minute to update my blog.

The last week I have spent in Alicante I saw a swarm of parrots flying around my balcony. It was soooo beautiful to watch! Iam used to see sparrows, swallows, woodpeckers etc. but it was the first time I saw such colourful and exotic birds in real live! Inspired by this memory I made a crazy parrot this time - again with a strange hat.

As well my little brother teached me how to play a card game called "Schnapsen" which is very popular here in Austria. I totally falled in love with that game and so did my crazy parrot!

"El mafioso" from the south

This beautiful dog is a friend of the british dogs from Napoli in the south of Italy. He might not come from the same society as his british friends and appear dangerous, but has a soft heard and makes a great guardian!

I really love this kind of dog! But Iam not sure if I could handle it alone since they are really huge and heavy!

Close friend of the english bulldog

I did already post my new drawing yesterday but due some problems with the blog it dissapeared and I hope it wont happen again as this beagle really wants to stay among his friends here!

It is a british beagle and a very close friend of the english bulldog. They share the same passions for fashion, ascott hats and tea as you can see!

I really started to like a lot to draw ascott hats! Its like everything is allowed to put on that hat and there are as good as no limitation which makes it so big fun to draw them! And by the way - they look beautiful!

Ice princess

Another little drawing from my sketchbook. Its a greyhound which fullfilled his dream dancing as a prima ballerina on ice! (I looked up the word for figure skater but I thought it doesnt sound as nice and dreamy as prima ballerina on ice or ice princess! So I changed it.)

Tea under the moon shine

This unusual couple is having a romantic tea time under the moonshine. Its their very first date and they are a bit shy as you can see!
I bought a sketchbook to keep it in my handbag in order to make little drawings whenever I find time to do it. This one is the result of an 8 houers waiting time at an airport where I was sitting in a coffee bar and used my new sketchbook for the first time! Glad I got one because from now on waiting time flies!

Stay put cheeky mouse!

This cat is not very happy about the querky mouse which tries to steal a little nip from his tea cup. But if its about tea, this cat doesnt understand any jokes! I think his eyes speak already words!

A tea friend of the mad hatter

Here and there the rabbit and his friends have a little reunion to enjoy the scent and taste of a nice hot cup of tea! They get paralized the first time they get in touch with the smell of the fresh made tea and thats a good sign as it signifies the tea will be delightful and pleasurably!

My bearish pastry chef

Already in his youth he was crazy for sweets and was dreaming to be a pastry chef one day! He used to eat a lot of honey and still loves it but in the meantime he falled in love with all kind of sweets and experienced less problems with bees and their stings!

Summer is coming closer and with it the exams! As I am studying at the moment I have lot of assesments to do and therefore less time to draw. But dont worry! Fortunatly exam times have an end as well!

Why are you looking at me like this? Never seen an english bulldog having tea?

Well english people are famous for their tea and tea time at 5pm afternoon. This bulldog has lived many years with an english family and got very used to their customs which includes as well having tea in afternoon.
Furthermore she loves a lot to dress elegantly like their masters and to copy them. They even wear ascot hats at home when they are not watching the latest cricket game and so does their dog now!
I love this kind of dogs which i mentioned already at the beginning of the blog! I think they make very nice models for pictures!

Traditional dressed austrian lion

Its an austrian lion! It wears traditional austrian clothes with an edelweiss brooch. I cant help myself but somehow he reminds me of my father with that beard and glasses although it was not planned!

Cool Hippopotamus

The spring is not yet warm enough for that hippopotamus so it is wearing a scarf and a warm sweater.
As almost all my other drawings it got a cool hairstyle in order to keep up with the others! I think it suits him!

Baby delivery in patchwork bag!

My brother and his love are going to get a baby in summer so he asked me if I would make him a little picture of a stork and a baby for their invitation cards of the baby-party. I put the baby in a patchwork-bag as it suits to my family and as well to his lovely girlfriend. My mother used to make a lot of patchwork and our entire home is full of these lovely pieces!

Little bird who loves sweets!

Inspired by my mother who was sewing textile which had cupcakes on it, I made that little bird which loves cupcakes as well! Who doesn´t?

Cheeky llama

Today its a cheeky llama which caught my attention! It looks like it is chewing a bubble gum right now, what do you think?

Alicante

These are pictures I made of lovely Alicante since my arrival! I enjoy the time being here and especially the weather!

I love the little decorated houses on the first pictures. They are in the old town part of Alicante and very cute.I would like to own one of them by myself - especially during summer!

In the first picture I show the very first praying mantis I met in my whole life! Was vey excited to see one of them!

Pretty meerkat

Today its one of the funny meerkats I post! It got a new modern haircut and vintage earrings so that it doesn´t feel disadvantaged among my previous animals.

Mule which just came from the hairdresser

Inspired by the 20ies this mule got a fringe today! It really suits her and she feels very comfortable with her new haircut too. I think every mule should get one!

A very fashion conscious toad

This little toad places high value of her look, especially the style of her hair and jewellery as you can see.

I like to draw animals which do not particularly fall into the categorie "attractive" and add something special in order to strenghten their self confidence.

Smart and educated turkey with braided hair style

Most of people might think that a turkey is not really an animal which can be considered as beautiful nor very smart... I dont think either. So I gave that turkey a new haircut and glasses to feel more adorable in future!

Well civilized french bulldog from the old school

I really like french bulldogs! Some of my friends told me that they look so ugly with their compressed face - but that makes them cute at the same time again for me! I made a draft of that dog wearing a suit to let him look more elegant which suits his proudness.
