I like to think I would be brave enough to wear these tops by Smeilinener but I'm not sure...I just love the mixture of colour and patterns (and the little bobbles on the second one remind me of foil wrapped chocolates)
I also spotted this tee on the same site, I had my hair cut yesterday (into an Amelie/Louise Brooks bob) but haven't actually had long hair for years. If I ever got the hankering maybe this tee would have to suffice until it grew.
I just wanted to say a quick thank you to Bowie at Print & Pattern for posting about my work today...welcome to all of the new readers!
I've also managed a few new posts over at my other blog I Bejeweled (including some lovely birdy items by Buddug) so if you have a chance, take a peek!
I've been looking at lighting on Ebay...I think this is my dream lamp for my desk (which is in the process of being tidied..who knew one person could accumulate so much junk in one small space?!)
Ooh and a quick note and apology to anyone who has emailed about prints that I haven't gotten back to...I'm slowly getting through all of my emails but if you don't get a reply soon please email me again...I'm happy to help!
I feel like I've neglected the little birds recently so they're making a welcome return. I've been so busy I haven't had time to think...a well earned break is called for!
Technically these should be doodles of chocolate eggs given the time of year but fruit and veg are so much more interesting to draw (although not necessarily as tasty!)
I fell in love with this post on The Sartorialist and had a go at translating it into an illustration. I love Anna Piaggi's fearless approach to fashion but I don't think I've done her justice...is it me or does this drawing of her look a little...well...strange is the only word I can think of!
Phew! It's been a week of work and deadlines but hopefully it will all be worth it, I'll have a few exciting bits and pieces to show soon!
In the mean time enjoy some pics of vegetables (I have no idea why I got the urge to draw these but I enjoyed it anyway!). I've always found artichokes to be beautiful in a strange way, as demonstrated here, here and here (the final one reminds me of a peacock feather) and after a little bit of digging, I realise I'm not the only one to be influenced by them.
I feel extremely flattered to have been given the "you make my day" award by Ulrika and Alexandra of Living in Andyland and Alyssa of Penguin and Fish. A big thank you to you all, I'm so glad that people get as much inspiration out of my blog as I do out of theirs.
So in response, here are my 5 "make my day" blogs...
1. Kris of Krisatomic: I think I first came across Kris' work on Flickr, which is always a joy to look at, as are the pictures of her newly made over room (I think I have decorating envy if there is such a thing?!)
2. Jen of Simply Photo: Another Flickr find, Jen's beautiful photographs and wonderful links she finds are always worth a peek
3. Ez of Creature Comforts: To put it simply, I want to buy everything she posts on her blog...visiting it is sure to result in a dent in your bank account!
4. Vanessa of Paper Planes: Vanessa is a graphic/web designer with impeccable taste in everything from photography to interiors to graphic design...each post brings something more beautiful than the last
5. Peter of super.fantastic.picture.time: I'm an avid reader of fashion blogs like these and Peter's is my most recent find. I want to dress like everyone he takes photos of...in fact I want to be everyone he photos, they all seem so chic and ahead of the game when it comes to the art of dressing
So they're my favourite five and here are the rules of the award:
Here are the "make my day" award rules: 1. Write a post with links to 5 blogs that make your day 2. Acknowledge the post of the award giver 3. Tell the award winners that they've won by commenting on their blogs
