Here's me!

After last years A-Z project, posts have been a bit few and far between, so I've decided to draw a bit of anything and everything to keep my pencil busy!

This is my first offering, its a quick self portrait of me.

The Frog Prince

I've recently been in the mood for a few fairy tales, so I picked up a lovely book filled with them. After looking though all the pretty pictures I decided to have a little play at a illustration for The Frog Prince.

 

More screenprinting!

I've been playing again! This time I've been making some lovely tote bags. For this little experiment I put Harvey on the front but I'm hoping to print some new designs in the new year!

 

 

They are now available in my Etsy shop -> https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/166610037/harvey-the-cockapoo-screenprinted-long (unfortunately the actual Harvey is not for sale)

Raaaa! Birthday!

My sister asked me to design a card for her friend. She asked if it could include dinosaurs or cakes, so I threw the two together.
This little fella had to be kept secret till now so I didn't spoil the surprise!

 (Hope you had a nice birthday Jazz!)

Happy Halloween!

It the time of year again where I get the urge to slice pretty pictures into a squash! This year in keeping with my current bout of cockapoo madness I have gone ahead and carved my dog into a pumpkin. It only took 2 hours, caused sever arm pain and blunted one craft scalpel but it worked! Plus I have somehow managed to keep all my fingers intact! Yay!

Only 108 days till christmas!

... So I'm cracking on making Christmas cards. This first one if for fans of Harvey - my cockapoo- with his very fluffy winter coat!

 

What happened in August

I seem to have neglected my blog over the last month... whoops! Here a quick little update on what I've been up to during August.

I've been on a lovely little week down to Cornwall for the boardmasters music festival, lots of paddling and sand dolphin making.

At home I've invested in a couple of sheets of shrink plastic and I've been making necklaces and brooches as well as starting to make a couple of Christmas cards - the first of which should be finished soon!

So that's August, I’d better crack on with September...

This little chap is available to buy, along with his friends at my shop which is here

A Pride of Lions

A few weeks ago I got a very quick phone call from my sister requesting a picture of some lions like the ones she had just seen in the zoo. So being the nice sister that I am I made a card for her. The card was sent ages ago but I just realised I hadn't but the image up here, so here it is.

 

***Shop Now Open***

I've finally got round to opening my shop! At the minute I've got some lovely blank cards and a couple of my screen prints for sale... I'm sure I'll add some more things soon!

Playing outside with the doggy woofs

Hello summer!

It had been while since I had drawn something that didn't have wings, fur or more than 2 legs. So here’s an image based on a photo of me and my sister when we were tiny... with something furry with 4 legs... I think everyone will soon realise I’m a dog person (although quite a few people know already)
