Hello again!

Wow, was it really August that I last posted? Time flies and so much has been going on. I guess it's time for a bit of an update! Firstly, thank you so much to everyone who voted for my work "The Three Little Pigs" on the Uncovered Art blog, I'm very happy to announce that I was 2nd, and am now the proud owner of The Show & Tell Illustration book. So THANK YOU!!

As a 'life' update, my boyfriend finally got a job nearby and now we live together, we our big silly chocolate labrador. And so face now has a constant smile smeared right across it (even when he leaves his towels all over the bathroom), but he's really encouraging me to produce more, and make 2012 a very prosperous year for my work, we hope!

Talking of work, I've been doing dribs and drabs over the last Autumn season. Moving my boyfriend in seems to have eaten most of my time, so much paperwork and bits to organise!

I took a commission for a Wedding, which came totally out of the blue. The client had my details for an exhibition which I unfortunately had to pull out of due to a death in the family, but she called me a few weeks later asking me to illustrate an 'Owl and the Pussycat' themed wedding invitation. I would have been reluctant if it hadnt been to do with a children's book!

It was to be used as a working postcard, I have taken the details off but you get the idea. They were having the wedding service in a Castle, and then a big festival style party the next day, with tipi's and fire pits, sounds wonderful!

I've also got some very exciting news coming up in the next few weeks (although I fear it'll roll into 2012 with Christmas just around the corner)... and its publishing related! Watch this space.

Thanks for checking back, come again soon! x

My work has been featured!

Today I had a lovely email to say my work has been featured in a competition!

I've never had anything like this before, so I'd really appreciate every single vote :)

The work was from my final year of Uni and Im not overly impressed with it, but its so nice to be recognised for good work.

Every vote counts, please support me here!

My piece is 3 little pigs, and just requires you to comment or like it. You can even log in through facebook.

Thanks everyone

Big Beautiful Blanket

I've been knitting up old scraps of wool that I've found over the years, having an odd ball left over from my Mum knitting me jumpers and socks. It's been put to use in this beautiful blanket that my Mum and I have made for my lovely new home!

Hello tiny house :)

Today I built a fairy garden, I hope that they move in soon :)

A few bits of work

With moving home I've been lacking in time and inspiration, but I have now got my own studio and it's been great going through all my art bits which have been in boxes over the years. It made me produce all of these lovely things, which are all for sale on my Etsy!

Yep, thats my new home right there :)

Update times!

Sorrrrrry. I've been away for far far far too long.

Since February I have been fighting the on going battle of finding, renovating and moving into my own little bungalow in the same village as my parents. But huzzah! I have a new home! I'm not quite moved in yet, but the new bathroom is nearly complete, and I even have an art studio and huuuuge garden.

So as you can understand, there really hasnt been much time for artworks. RUBBISH. But I did do a few design pieces (albeit not my finest ...) for a local festival. More updates in the next few days!
