Fairy Tales

At the beginning of our fairy tale course with Carla Sonheim we were supposed to make self portraits in paper doll format. Life has been very busy but last night I got chance to make these little guys. It was so much fun!

I think this is the closest I have got to wearing a crown!

Fairy tales

This year fairy tales are everywhere!

A ginger bread house from my friend this Christmas carefully brought home all the way from Germany.

 

My new journal for this year. Couldn't help treating myself!

 

Not to meantion the great class that I'm taking with Carla...pictures coming soon of the Princess Frog illustrations.

Happy Monday

All is well and I have been tidying the studio up with the plan to create more lovely pieces of artwork. I hope to share more artwork with you this year and share some techniques that I love to use.

 

In the mean time I have been doodling and experimenting with some watercolour paper, a wet brush and a Black Tombow pen!

Have a lovely week!

I can't move!

I've been helping at the pop up shop, making, creating new designs and selling at Camden market.

I now have so many things out I can't move!

So I moved into the kitchen and made some chocolate and banana muffins!

New art from a new room

I'm loving my new space, it's great.

Love is in the air

I can lock the door at the end of the day and not worry about my work until I next go back, no little fingers to worry about touching things or getting hurt with my cutting tools.

One little problem, I still have to paint the door and frame, so my little bit of paradise has to go on pause for a short while whilst I get that sorted. Knives and paints away at the end of the day.

Here are a few little pieces I have been working on in my new space.

February the month that reminds me of water and time for love...

On the ocean waves

A little bit of love
