INDIA!!

I really wanted to share my experience with you from the very first moment the plane landed. However, I properly underestimated the effects of the flight and I have, to be honest, spent a lot of my first few days, asleep! I have at least tried to do the sleeping by the pool - it would be a shame not to!

I have been here 3 days now and, wow, what an amazing place! It has a scent and an atmosphere like nowhere else I have known.

I have done some sketching and by the pool too, and, seeing as it is now officially December (though so strange to think of it being December in this heat!) I can show you this little Christmas girlie.

Happy December!

India!

I am so lucky to be going out to India in a weeks time. I hope to keep a daily blog to mark the trip and share my time there. Yipes - excited!

In the meantime, I have decided to have a week long pre-christmas sale in my Etsy shop before I leave. Just add holiday20 into the box at checkout to receive a 20% discount on EVERYTHING!!

I also wanted to share my new painting. Combines two of my favourite things - owls and eyes hehe!!

Happy Sunday!!

Hello, hello, hello!!!

Wow, November??!! And, it is getting might cold and wintery here in the UK. Brrrrrrrrh!! Hats, scarves, gloves and hot water bottles have been brought back out of storage!


If you remember, I took part in the fantastic 29 Faces during September which was an amazing challenge and really helped me to practice my drawing skills. I loved it! When I came to think about what to do with them next, I decided that I liked some of them just the way they were and so, I have decided to turn some of them into limited edition prints, 'just the way they are'!

What do you think?

I was so chuffed with how they turned out that I decided to do some prints.

Hope November is treating everyone with kindness and fun!!!

Look What Happened To Tilly!

Hello! I have had a yuck week. My two darlings have brought back germs from school and unselfishly shared them around hehe! We are all on the mend now though thankfully.

So, not much paint has been splashed around for the past week but I have done lots of drawing (I'll show you soon) and sewing. Look what happened to 'Clever Tilly' my drawing I did a few weeks ago.

I am really chuffed how she turned out. I might have a go at making some more in this style. Loving the Designers Guild fabric. Soooooooooo gorgeous to work with and sooooooooooooo 'touchy feely' now it's done. Yum - hehe!

Have a great weekend!

Day 29

My final sketch for the 29 Face Challenge.

But, as there are 30 days in September and I originally set myself the challenge of a sketch per day, I am going to sketch another tomorrow. I think I am enjoying this challenge too much hehe!

Have a great Monday!

Day 28

Does she remind anyone else of Kathy from Wuthering Heights? I am not sure if it is the whispy hair or her clothes but I think she definitely belongs in a period costume drama!
