New Art Print in my Etsy Shop :)

Here tis, inspired by a flock of Bluetits I have seen in my garden this week. It's quite a treat for me to see birds in the garden.I am on hols from work this week and so have actually seen my garden in daylight for the first time in months.Usually I am up way before the birds!

If you would like to purchase an A4 print of these fine fellows then click here.

It's been a while....

I've been meaning to make this happen for a while..This morning I woke up early and made it happen..Early morning drawing..Wonderful..My sketchbook is brimming with notes and doodles for work that never quite happens at the moment..

I'm finding it so hard to make time for drawing and making..This makes me so sad. I think I need to do some serious re-jigging in my life to make room.. I need to plan in regular art and creative time..

Do any of you plan in creative time to your day/week? I'm imagining that i'll need to work on a few hours here and a few there as I just don't have a whole evening or day to spare theses days..I'd like to hear how other people with busy lives manage.

'Two for joy' 2012

I hope your all having a good weekend. I spent the day helping a friend search for fabric for her wedding dress, we were looking for tweed, linen and lace and found some lovely fabrics that may hopefully make a very unique, beautiful dress for my friends November wedding..Very exciting!

Speak soon folks ***

Peacocks and clouds

Something that I've been working on, I know your shocked..Its not anything sewing related! It is a bird, not the usual sort of bird that I like to draw but still, a bird.

I hope all is well out there? Its gloriously sunny then all of a sudden very cold and gray here, it's as if someone keeps turning the lights on and off! I 'm going to see some good friends that I haven't seen for 6 months or so this evening, very exciting! Plus I get to stay on a farm, doubly exciting!

I can't wait to restock my Etsy shop, but for now don't forget that there is 20% off in my Etsy shop until the end of August with the code SILLYMOO.

Have a wonderful sunny day everyone ***

ps: Sorry for the poor photo quality I don't know whats up with me lately.Maybe I need to wear my glasses more..Or just not rush around so much! :-/

Things I love - days 17 & 18

Butterflies! I am drawn to butterfly images at the moment so I thought I'd give it a whirl doing some drawings. Pencil drawings colored digitally. I'm not that happy with them but I need to keep these daily pieces in a certain time frame, so for now I'm leaving it at this. It'd be nice to do a piece of lots of butterflies in different positions and of lots of different colours.
For day 18 we have a garden bird, I love the stocky, cute look that they have... I still have today's drawing to do and I'll be posting that one tomorrow.. bye for now :-)

Penguin Love

A new Valentines Day Card design featuring two cute penguins! Pen drawing coloured digitally.

Patterns

So I have lots of images/ideas that I've created over the past year that I've wanted to turn into patterns...But I didn't know how to create repeat patterns until this week, I now have lots of work to do!! It's quite an exciting time for me at the moment with my art, I feel like it's all coming together at last..and I start a new job next week that will give me so much free time to create, I can't wait to see where it will all be in 6 months time. I at least hope to have an Etsy shop and a regular stall at one of the art markets in Bristol by the end of the summer. Here are some new patterns that I put together today, go me!
