'Woodland Spirit'

Went wild with a white gel pen on some Canford black paper, what do you think?

It was really relaxing.

Pet Portraits

Hi everyone!

I'm quite busy at the moment designing my pet portrait website and flyers/business cards, so apologies in advance if I'm not as active this week.

Here's another addition to my pet portrait portfolio, an A4 watercolour of our beloved cat Rosie, whom we said good bye to 3 years ago. If you are interested in your own pet portrait, my prices start from only £45 for something similar to this, and these can be purchased in my shop here

Tutorial- Rainbow Hama Bead Bowl!

Hi everyone!

Today I have my first tutorial to share with you all, I will show you how to make your own little cute and colourful, rainbow bowl, made out of hama beads! Soooo cute ^.^

So with the help of my lovely little niece, listen up!

1. First of all you will need some Hama beads, some cooking oil (we used Crisp & Dry), and an oven proof bowl (we used a pyrex)



2. Pour around a tablespoon of oil into the bowl





3.  Use a paper towel to wipe the oil all around the bowl



4. Chuck in some of those lovely colourful beads


5. Keep adding more and pressing them around the bottom and sides to allow the beads to take the shape of the bowl


6. Bake it in the oven at 200 ÂșC for around 10 minutes, ours needed a little longer, so keep a close eye on it and make sure all the beads are fused together. When it looks like the one below, allow it to cool, then start to carefully peel and slide it out.


7. Enjoy your shiny new rainbow bowl, put fruit in it, keys, snacks, the only limit is your imagination!



Thanks for reading :)

Marvellous Mondays is moving to every fortnight!

Hi guys!

I'm moving 'Marvellous Mondays', where I share great artists with you to every other monday! The reason is I'm just really short on time every monday, as its the only day I get to devote to my business and art :(

Until the day comes where I can live off what I make and create, sacrifices have to be made i'm afraid.

But all is not lost, I have a new drawing/painting for you this week of the AMAZING James & Bob!

If you haven't heard of them, please check out their lovely Facebook page here

I also have a timelapse video coming up soon for this, so watch out ^.^
