illustration friday: little things

Here's my submission for Illustration Friday's theme of "little things"

(click image to enlarge)
This piece was created for a 2009 calendar by TeNeues Publishing but I thought it worked for the theme. This little lady is knitting up some little things for her kitties!

This is a pretty piece. I like the woman character and her costume which fits her character very well. The kitties are very good design, great line/contour drawing.

Nice image for little things. I like the combination of flat drawings with paper collage. Good stuff really.
