Things I love - Day 10 and Owl no 6

So the black pens are back again, I used them to do this drawing of my favorite hat, and I have also put together this image for Owl no 6. I think this owl is my favorite up to this point, I was thinking of a snowy owl when I was drawing him.

Things I love - Day 9 and Owl no 5

Hey all! I hope everyone is well, today's drawing is of some plant cuttings that I took from my basil plant that was on its way out. The cuttings have done really well and I really need to re plant them now, the roots are pretty amazing to look at, like a mane of hair under the water!

And here is Owl no 5 to add to the owl set:

He doesn't look particularly impressed!! Maybe 5 isn't his lucky number?!

Things I love day 7

Good morning everyone! This should of been yesterdays post but I didn't finish drawing until late at night. Drawing for day 7 is my lovely Singer sewing machine, my poor  sewing machine is really in need of some love...I often look at it and feel guilty and forever on my 'To do list' is 'spend more time getting to grips with the sewing machine'..I really have no excuse and should get on with it! So the black pens came back with this drawing, I'm really happy with how simple it is and I kept the colours simple too.

Any ideas for easy projects that I can do with my sewing machine? I also got another Owl and number drawing done to add to the set:

Cheerio :-)

Things I love - day 6

I adore this necklace! I bought it last weekend when visiting my sister, I have a bit of a thing for over the top jewelery. In fact when I was at university I used to make and sell Jewelery through a craft shop in Exeter. My pieces were always really brightly coloured  and a combination of beads, buttons, bits of old jewelery, things found in antique shops, fabric etc.

I have really enjoyed drawing this necklace in life it is actually quite brightly coloured but for this drawing I wanted to tone things down a bit, to give it a softer feel. So here it is a drawing for day 6..

I have spent a lot of time today updating my website, I am slowly learning how these things work but it is a continuous learning process. There are so many of my images that need tweaking and I would love to have a big chunk of time to just work on it, at the moment progress seems slow, bit by bit..! However I did put together 3 new images today using owls that some of you may recognise from a few months ago. I plan to do ten of these owl images in total with the numbers 1-10, I want to start selling greeting card/postcards on my Etsy shop and this owl project might just be my first. This idea was partly inspired by my Grandma and my Mother who were talking last weekend about their favorite/lucky  numbers. I'm not sure if I have any, how about you?

I think they're sweet, twit twoooo!

snails and folk owls

Good afternoon :-) I have just put together three news designs, 2 of which are variations on the same imagery and another completely new one. I LOVE patterns...So much fun!!

I'm really happy with these patterns, the snail patterns would make lovely fabric for duvet covers or pillows for children. I'm currently in the process of setting up a shop on Spoonflower to sell my designs on fabric, I need to order the fabric samples first which I'll do in the next week or so..And my Etsy shop is on it's way. So much to do, and it's all so exciting! Right I'm off to a BBQ, it's a lovely sunny day, bye for now :-)
