So the prompt for day 2 was 'tranquil'. I tried to think about what would make me feel calm and recently it was walking in a local nature reserve. Not at all a self portrait but just a sense of being outside in the fresh air. Ink and pencil as I was short on time... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year again when I promise to myself that I'll 'do' inktober and then 3 drawings in I give up! I've started though so I'll show my drawing. I'm following the official prompts and the first one was poisonous. A little obvious maybe but lots of fun. It's already 8:30pm on day... Continue Reading →

I'll rewind... Continue Reading →
At the start of the summer I decided that I wanted to make some simple beaded, polymer clay necklaces. These were supposed to be quick and easy beads to make fun, everyday necklaces.
