Broken

Greeting card
Mixed Media
 
To illustrate the word 'broken' I searched around for pieces of pottery.  There is a place in the garden where all the broken pottery lives, apart from a few special bits kept in the house.
Tried to draw/paint them using only various pens and a little bit of water.
The stripey piece and the little brown piece are particularly special to me, found in the field where the 'Ark' is currently being built.
