I decided between mouthfuls of Easter egg chocolate this weekend that I should make up with my watercolour paints and have a go at a rabbit illustration (I feel very pompous calling them illustrations but well, doodle just doesn't quite work with the hours I put into this!) I'm pleased to say that my watercolours... Continue Reading →
My poor blog has been so neglected for the last few weeks as my laptop went to laptop heaven and my mobile phone decided to follow shortly after but I'm back (new phone all set up and ready) with a special illustration for my new baby nephew. A little background - my sister (baby's Mum)... Continue Reading →
I will keep this short today as I'm writing on my phone. My laptop has decided that it needs a rest so is stubbornly refusing to work and I feel totally lost without it. I can't help but think that the snazzy windows update it gave itself has something to do with it. My phone... Continue Reading →
It's been a while but I'm back with more illustrations for the Facebook challenge. Its been a bonkers few weeks - the kids were under the weather, two week Easter holiday, Hubby had laser eye surgery for glaucoma (he is only in his 40's) which then didn't work and, you all know, just life. Oh... Continue Reading →
Well, I actually managed to get a picture drawn and painted on time for this weeks illustration challenge. This weeks theme was perspective. It made me think of how my little boy used to sit on his knees and press his head to the floor so he could watch the wheels on his toy cars... Continue Reading →
Oh dear, I fell behind with things again. There has been a lot going on and I've been busy but none of it has been particularly crafty. I am determined to keep up with this challenge though so I have done 2 quick drawings to catch up. Week 7 - Botanical Watercolour (Daniel Smith watercolour... Continue Reading →
I hope your week has started well. The kids are off school on their half term holiday so we have been busy today with a play date and trip to Hobby Craft (UK craft store) to stock up on children's crafting essentials. It was mainly for my 6 year old son as he had a... Continue Reading →
I have fallen a bit behind with the Illustration Challenge this week mainly because I decided to tidy/re-organise my craft space (more on that another day - it turned out to be a huge job!) Week 4 theme was Ode to a favourite children's book. I went between 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle... Continue Reading →
Several days later than planned but here is my entry for this weeks 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks prompt was Australiana and, oh boy, I struggled with this one. I had very few ideas and they all seemed a little predictable, throw in an under the weather 6 year old and a heap of... Continue Reading →
If you missed my post last week I am attempting to keep up with the 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks word prompt was 'feathered animals'. It seems I am still stuck a little on the whimsy of last week (possibly 'whimsy' is just my style!) and opted for fanciful birds decorating a... Continue Reading →
