Project snippets.....

Here's a few photos of what I've been working on recently. It's time for me to start thinking about Christmas. I know! I know! It feels too soon. But as I've learned from the last few Christmases, one can never be too organised ; - )

I've been painting again also & will be back to show you what I've been up to, plus I will be putting up August's artist interview very soon. Watch this space!

Have a great weekend everyone.
Love & light

Painting Project Number 24

I hope everyone had a great Easter break, anyone go on an Easter egg hunt? We were lucky enough to go on a hunt in a beautiful wood where bluebells had started to spring up everywhere. Greens, blues & purples everywhere, it was so pretty- throw in some chocolate too & well I was in heaven ;)

I have more projects on the go. Here's a sneak peek at another 'spring' inspired design. Happy bugs & happy weather!

And I also managed to complete painting no. 24. Here it is in stages:

I went a bit crazy on this painting & played a lot with the background, there's quite a few layers to this one. I used oil pastels, chalk pastels, ink pens, gel pens, pencils & paints.

Spring Inspiration.......

With so many trees covered in beautiful blossom, I couldn't help but feel inspired this week & so I started working on a few projects using the colours of nature around me as inspiration.

This is going to be part of some wedding stationary I'm creating for my sister in law.

Fairy & flower project in progress which will be part of a bedding collection.

Wishing everyone a lovely Easter weekend!

Love & Light

29 ways to stay creative

I recently found this wonderful poster by Edhall & I've been looking back on it this week as I try to create a schedule that works for me, to try & create more balance in my life instead of feeling like I'm constantly on a hamster wheel! This of course is a tricky one & I think I'm on version 4 of that schedule already! Any tips would be much appreciated!

I've been working on a few projects & I've also been dedicating more time to just sketching. I normally draw straight onto the computer with my Wacom tablet but it's been so great to get back to where it all started for me & draw again- I know! With a pencil & everything! Hee hee. It's so weird to think how long its been since I picked up a pencil & just sketched. I even found my old tin of pencils from uni. they must be nearly 20 years old now but I knew I'd want them again someday : -)

Here are some peeks into what I've been up to.

Cute monster sketches! I think this will definitely be turned into a design of some sort
