Colour outside the lines

posted in: Emstagram 0

Once you’ve ignited your creative spark, don’t be afraid to let it go. Bend the rules… try something different.. step outside of your comfort zone.. create something extraordinary… do something crazy like start a sentence with an And (sorry to everyone I offended by doing that yesterday ?) …colour outside the lines

Do you know someone starting university in September? or embarking on another new chapter? Perhaps you have a loved one who needs a bit of a confidence boost or cheering on? Or maybe you just really like tunnocks caramel bars… whatever the reason, these A5 cards of my original artwork are available on my website -link in bio – or in my Etsy shop .
Why not tag someone who you think has what it takes?! Have a totally capable Tuesday ?

Nice muscles

posted in: Emstagram 0

I’m off to the seaside this afternoon, and decided to use that as inspiration for my food picture this Friday which , for once, comes with packaging of the natural variety (not forgetting some handy hints on how to enjoy your moules c/o Rick Stein’s book, English Seafood Cookery!) .
The original, made from beautifully soft blue linens and Liberty print is available on my website – link in bio – there’s just one available, so snap it up quickly!

Custard cream

posted in: Emstagram 0

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong …
.
I was prepping a custard cream picture a little while ago and realised after sketching out the details that I’d used the wrong fabric. I couldn’t quite bring myself to throw them away as I’d drawn quite a few, so decided I’d make them in to something else. Someone suggested they make might make good pincushions … and they were right! I have 7 available which I’ll be listing in my shop today.
.
Ps. I’m sorry if you have that tune stuck in your head all day. My personal favourite was the pinball number song … of course if you didn’t grow up with Sesame Street you won’t know what I’m talking about ?
