little book characters I happen to know...

I have mentioned before our all time fave kids book has to be The Gruffalo and The Gruffalos Child by Julia Donaldson & illustrated by Axel Scheffler. (Gruffalo official website is www.GRUFFALO.com)

We have created our own little artworks taken straight from the books, inspired by Axel Schefflers work. The girls have often wanted to dress up as the characters too, (as I have shown earlier Ash did actually go as The Gruffalos child to her book parade last year for school)....Anyhoo, I came up with the idea of "dressing them up" but in a slightly different way hehehe, below is the finished result of a little fiddling with the illustrations and a few photos I had.




                                      The girls especially loved them, there were lots of giggles....

Daddy makes a great Gruffalo, hehe.
Even Chris got a laugh out of this one, next best thing to an actual costume anyhoo....
Thinking of framing these and adding them to our Gruffalo wall in Beaus room.

 Well, thats all for today, hope to get stuck into some more art sooner than later.....Thanks for stopping by!
