New print in my Etsy shop

Feather Power!

This is what I've got to say about this....

Feather power! An art print of an original drawing by me, colored by hand and then the green background was added digitally.

I love this print, it's colorful, vibrant and happy, it reminds me of nature, camping and time spent in the sunshine.  :-D

A lazy day making treasurys!

Good evening all! The new 'Circle' tool on Etsy is so fabulous! I am discovering lots of new artists and crafts people, I have been home alone today with free time and I have been stuck to my laptop browsing Etsy for beautiful things for most of the afternoon...Oops! It's a bit addictive! You can view the above two new treasury's I created today here (Tickle your fancy with feathers) and here (Step into my dream wardrobe).

BIG project Day 2 Feathers

Feathers...I love them! They are such beautiful things don't you think? I'm guessing readers who have been here before already know that I have a bit of a bird obsession, so it probably comes as no surprise that I love feathers too. I own quite a few pairs of earrings with feathers hanging from them and also have a collection of feathers, some of the larger ones I keep in a colored glass vase in my living room...Here's my creation for day 2 of the BIG project:

I am away for two days now so I won't be able to scan day 3 of the project until I return, I feel a bit like I 'm cheating not posting every day but I will be in the countryside without computer facilities so it can't be helped! Two more drawings coming on Sunday, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

My first repeat pattern!

I'm so so excited! I've just created my first repeat pattern...I've wanted to know how to do this for ages! I followed an online tutorial for creating repeats in photoshop. It was really easy to follow and on a site called Mels Brushes, this is a really informative site created by a UK based Graphic Designer. I'm so thankful that there are people out there sharing their knowledge about these things...Here's my first repeat pattern!

she dreams of the sea....

Long time no post...or at least it feels that way, I've had little access to a computer these past weeks and have been so so busy with work and life..! I've been doing a lot of drawing though and finally now have the time to put some of these drawings up here..I've been mainly drawing flowers,petals,shells, feathers and birds...I'm putting some of my favorites up here and I have plans to work with some of these images to make patterns.
I have also just got my own Mac (amazing)! So now I can do my digital work whenever I want instead of borrowing my boyfriends Mac when he wasn't using it......I'm so excited about all the things I can do now. I also bought some art and illustration books from Amazon last week and am feeling so inspired..watch this space!
