Christmas Card

My christmas card was only sent to a very few people this year, my lovely grandparents included. So for the rest of you, my lovely friends, contacts and followers, I will have to wish you a merry christmas through a post with some piccies of my card. If i had more time, money and all your addresses I would send them in a flash!

My Christmas Decorations

Like most of us, with very little time or money to spare at the moment, I am keeping christmas simple!
I made folded paper leaf decorations, simply hung on a thread, to decorate the fireplace.

Happy Birthday Bethan!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister! x

Christmas feeling

                                          
I tend to feel a little grinchy about how early shops start to stock mince pies and tinsel, But I have now officially begun my christmas mood by ordering some lovely decorative tape to wrap presents with.
I like to save money and make my own wrapping paper using some good old potato printing, but I couldn't resist these lovely little tapes, I'll just design the paper to go with them!
There are loads of other tapes aswell as many other lovely things to be found at www.nonesuchthings.com.

A Little trip to France...

Last week I was in France assisting Ella Doran with a design sale in Colmar, I got a little time to stroll around the beautiful old town of Colmar on a sunny sunday afternoon..

Lovely Leafy

I haven't had much to blog about lately as I have been busy since october doing an internship for Ella Doran in a lovely leafy part of London. I am rather enjoying the beautiful autumn leaves on my stroll to work..

Benjamin Buckley and his Art

I must take the opportunity of having a blog to promote my other half and the wonderful Artist that he is!
I've spent many a moment captivated watching him create and develop his works and in seeing his dedication it is always so exciting to see them in galleries and at shows!

Benjamin Buckley, will be exhibiting at The Affordable Art Fair Hampstead Heath this October 27 -30th.
You can view his artist profile HERE, with the gallery that will be representing him 'The Drugstore Gallery' and also view his own website at www.artbyben.co.uk.

A Lovely Project

Here's a little snippet from a current commission I've been working on for the past few months.
I've been doing illustrations for a lovely new company for their Logo and website. So, watch this space...

A Diamond Wedding Anniversary Papercut

This is a little papercut commission I have just completed, for a 60th Wedding Anniversary Card.

My Little Snoring Companion

I'm enjoying working on my latest commission project with pencil and watercolour paints, however not without distraction from the noise of my snoring cat....

 

Inspired Doodlings

 

I've got an exciting commission in the pipeline, thinking about it got me inspired to make a collage of pencil and watercolour doodlings...

My Little Desk

Sitting in the sun, fllicking through Elle Decoration May 2011 edition on my lunch break, I came across images of lovely desk spaces. I'm not sure how I manage to get work done on my tiny desk in the corner of my bedroom but I look forward to owning a big beautiful wooden desk one day...

Benjamin Buckley Prints

I know it's a bit cheesy, but I had to share the success of my beautiful and talented boyfriend Benjamin Buckley.
He is currently exhibiting limited edition Prints at The London Print Studios with 'The Contemporary London'.
I went to the private view on Tuesday night and could'nt have been more bold over by his works. Luckily for me it was my birthday the next day and he had printed the images on newsprint to use as wrapping paper! Although I'm a bit sad it got wrinkled and ripped, maybe I can iron it and glue it and stick it in a frame!

The works will be up well into July, I think all should have a visit!

Wedding Table Decorations

rain rain rain...

After finishing my latest commission all I want to do is sit in the sun. But it's been rain rain rain, however the rain does make all the plants and flowers grow and can be very pretty, even the washing line looks lovely!

Done and Done!

Very Nearly Finished!

I've completed 16 out of 19 pieces of my latest papercut commission! Taking 10 hours per piece I've used up alot of blades, but there's only 3 more works to go!
