In the grounds of the National Maritime Museum, in Greenwich, I spotted this grey squirrel rifling through the autumn leaves. I was delighted that my photos captured the squirrel picking up a sycamore “helicopter”. We also have a family of greys nesting in a tree at the bottom of our garden and although people find them less endearing than the red or black squirrels, they’re still very entertaining to watch. I’ve recreated this fella with thousands of tiny stippled dots of ink, spacing them out or layering them up to create the depth and texture of the hairs and finally stippling in the golden-brown hues of the helicopter with acrylic ink.

Artify your morning cuppa, workplace brew or evening tipple! This glossy hardboard coaster has been reproduced from one of my original dip pen and ink stippled dot pieces featuring a grey squirrel with a sycamore 'helicopter' seen in London. Inspired from what I see in my garden, on my field work, travels and from life experiences, I work only from photographs that I have taken or sketches that I have made in the field. This coaster will withstand the hottest of brews or the coldest of cocktails and is easy to care for; simply wipe it clean with a cloth.
Ideal for: Anyone who loves squirrels, wildlife, animals, nature, gardening, collecting coasters, art.
