Can you guess who mine is? I wanted to do more background details, but I already went way over the 5 minutes with all that cross-hatching and googling to find out what he looks like!

Proud Gardener…and New Supplies
I have just treated myself to new waterproof Faber-Castell pens and a little box of Winsor and Newton water colours, and whipped this up in about 15 minutes to try them out….they are absolute BLISS, so much easier….I’ve never had waterproof pens before, and always used to draw in pencil, paint, then ink at the [...]

Day 8 of the 21 Day Challenge - Cut-throat Nobby
Betty’s big brother, Nobby…not someone you want to bump into in a dark alley at night. He earned the name ‘Cut-throat’ for his famed method of dispatching his enemy with one quick swish of his sword. His small marmoset, Peanut, chatters constantly on his shoulder, and they say that this is the last sound most [...]

He is obsessed with finding buried treasure, and a brilliant navigator and chess-player. He has a dreadful gambling habit, and once won his shrunken skull necklace from a cannibal chief whilst gambling for [...]

Day 5 of 21 Day Challenge - Pirate Dave
The most laid-back pirate you could ever hope to meet…Dave just wandered onto a ship by mistake in his teens after a few too many drinks, and just ‘fell’ into piracy, quite literally. The nicest bloke on the high seas, he has somehow managed to win the blackest of hearts as well as those he [...]

Day 4 of 21 Day Challenge - Beautiful Bess
Daughter of a highwayman and the shame-faced daughter of the local laird, Bess is a very beautiful pirate, and she uses it to her advantage. After weeks on end at sea, with nothing more attractive than the odd rat to look at, most sailors go weak at the knees at the sight of Bess, and [...]

Day 3 of 21 Day Challenge - Stumpy Pete
This is Stumpy Pete. He’s a pretty typical pirate, but still has 2 hands. He’s a Virgo, and loves plundering, marauding and swashbuckling. He can speak Spanish and Creole, and dances a mean jig, tapping out the beat with his wooden leg. His parrot, imaginatively named ‘Parrot’, can swear in 5 [...]

Day 2 of 21 Day Challenge - Cock-Eyed Sam
Sam is pretty low-down in the pecking order on the ship…his main job is to scrub the decks after the other pirates have had a heavy night on the rum.
