Illustration Friday - Asleep


It all got a bit busy in the end..But I guess for a quick image its not too bad. I often dream of horses and rabbits...I used to have a reoccurring dream that I left my pet rabbit in my handbag in a cloakroom of a night club..I went back much later and she was missing..I've never done such a thing by the way it was just a strange anxiety type dream I think!!

The May Bird

Good day people!

Some of you may of seen this print already, I wrote this post a few weeks ago but forgot to post it!! Silly me!

New (ish)! A4 Gicilee Art print up in my Etsy shop. The May Bird, a return to the birds with socks of days past! I do love birds with stripey legs 'Socks'. Do you remember my other 'yellow bird' print? You can buy 'The May Bird' print  here.

Cheerio!

Pattern Rally and whistling kettles...Happy Sunday all



Hi everyone how are you?  I hope you are all enjoying your weekends?  I was feeling a bit better today so went to a local shopping center with my dad who was visiting..Got to do a lot of window shopping (there are some amazing clothes out there at the moment, great patterns everywhere)! Came home with a gorgeous duck egg blue whistling kettle *love it* and some art supplies :-) However all that excitement tired me out and I had to go to bed for 3 hours afterward!! I can't wait to feel better! Ugh!

I wanted to share with you that one of my new floral pattern designs is over at the illustration Rally blog right now in the current pattern rally that they have going on, the theme is 'Floral'. Go take a look at all the great designs that have been submitted so far.

Good evening folks :-)

The Teashed





I really like tea & I really like sheds, I also really like art and I especially like a combination of the lot, so is it any wonder that this new company caught my eye? I stumbled across them on the Print & Pattern website and I thought I would share on here too.

You can find out more about them here www.the-teashed.co.uk

Now do you think I could get away with painting my summer house/art studio like this?! I would love too but I don't think the neighbors would be impressed!

cheerio folks **

*update, I asked the boyfriend and he says its okay....Summer project?!*

I emptied my kitchen draw..

I suppose I should clean it out now before everything goes back.

I may have to make an outfit up, I'm still ill and in my pjs! It took me 2 days to do the above illustration as I spent all yesterday afternoon/eve in bed.Boo. Anyway enough of being miserable! Go look at that blog!
