Nothing quite like a picnic adventure on a Sunny Saturday afternoon with some swans :)

We had an amazing adventure to White Post Farm over the weekend and I was inspired by all the colourful birds. Here are some doodles I did after the adventure – at the time I was busy being slobbered on by llamas :) (I love llamas) Ace times!

painting mad

Now I’ve started painting again I can’t seem to stop, which is a good thing seeing as I set myself a mission of painting 50 pictures this year. I finished this one today after starting the sketch last night. I’m loving just painting straight onto the recycled card. The colours pop out at you and these colours in particular are my current obsession.

The websites going to have a new face hopefully by the end of the day, which I’m really looking forward to. It’s always nice to invite a little change into your routines. Anyway, it’s time I got a wriggle on… Would love to hear what you think of the new doodles.

This is the illustration I submitted for the pica pica magazine competition that was running at the start of this year. Pleased to say it made runner up! Hurrah! And will be featured in the magazine! I’ve seen sneak previews of the project and I can’t wait for the all clear to share it with you :) keep your eyes peeled.

Hope you all had a lovely chocolate filled Easter. I’m currently sat tucking into a pot of tea and enjoying many hours of Pride and Prejudice (1995 BBC production of course). I’ll return soon with some new cotton doodles. Have a lovely Monday :)

Tweet tote – Exclusive for ‘i dress myself’

Amy — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:26:12 +0000

It’s been aaaaages since my last post! I’m so sorry about that. I’ve wanted to share this little sweet treat with you folks for about a week (and a bit) – if you follow me on twitter it’s probably old news by now, but it definitely deserves a post. Appropriately titled ‘Tweet Tote’ this handy shopper is avalable exclusively through the Nottingham based company I Dress Myself. Photo credits go to the lovely folk at I Dress myself. You can buy online (go on, treat yourself) here! It also means there’s a rather quirkly blurb about my work – check it out –> here!

The move’s taken up so much time and brain power and I’ve failed miserably to document any of it. I promise to have some pictures of the new abode shortly. As for business related news I honestly wasn’t expecting to have the online shops closed this long. As soon as the work space is up and running everything will be functioning just like the good old days. Horray! I also have some new projects on the go which I’m looking forward to sharing with you in the not too distant future. I’ll say no more, have a wonderful weekend!
