I used colored pencils and pastels on the image very randomly. I added crystal effects just to his nose because healthy squirrels have a shiny nose! I sponged pool party and marina mist to make it look like the sky in the background. I added magic mesh behind the image just for interest, and raised the word hello on pop dots.
The land surrounding my new house has so many squirrels and chipmunks on it I canÂ’t even count them at times, and even though just the idea of camping gives me the hives, if I were to go camping I couldnÂ’t think of better friends to have along

We are virtually overrun with squirrels (and chipmunks), and the idea of camping with them is a turn-off. However, your coloring of the squirrel is amazing, and I do love the mesh! Beautifully done! Favd.

Love the soft watercolour look you gave your squirrel. Our native ones are red, but they've been almost wiped out by the American grey ones, which were given to someone as a wedding gift and escaped, since time in the last 100 years. I like the mesh, it adds to the outdoors feel.
Oh, and I had to invest in expensive squirrel-ptiif bird feeders because the squirrels weren't just eating most of my food, they were wrecking the feeders too :-(.
