#flying ducks

Three more bookplate designs are listed as variations on my shop 📚🦆🌻

So this week's Inktober 52 prompt was 'Ducks' and it got me off my arse and do something I've been meaning to do for a while.

So @scifer and I always promised that when we moved in together, we wouldn't have a boring house. In fact, we really wanted decor that would make you look twice. And we joked about having those 30's flying ducks on the wall but changing something about them. Somewhere along the line was, 'what if they were wearing cartoony gas masks?'

Anyhow I managed to get a set cheap in a charity shop because they were a little broken (I still got to repair a wing and a few chips).

And this week finally go to work after @scifer gave me an idea of how the gas marks should look.

And here are our horrible ducks.
