New blog about my photography and film making!

Hello my lovelies!

As some of you may already know, I'm also a film maker and photographer in my free time (YES I have a lot of hobbiesssss).

So anyway, I've started a brand spanking new blog devoted totally to that, and you can find it here:

Sprinkles jewellery!

Hello! I'm just popping by to show off some lovely new jewellery designs I've recently added to my shop :)

SPRINKLES JEWELLERY!!

We all know I love my rainbows, so I hope you like these too ;)

Stocks currently limited, so check these out before they're all snapped up!

Which style is your favorite? 

I tried a spot of stargazing photography.... and I am in LOVE

So this is something I've wanted to try my hands at for a long time now, and I finally got round to getting out in my field and braving it! And I am SO glad I did!!

It was very trial and error, but I managed to secure a lovely photo! 

I shot this on my 550d DSLR with a 50mm 1.4 Canon lens, a cheap tripod, and a shutter speed of 25 secs

I also shot in RAW, and brought up the highlights and colours in Photoshop.

Expect to see a lot more of these appearing here, because I think I am now OBSESSED.

If you would like to give night time photography a go there are plenty of tutorials out there, I used this one:

Have fun :)

Entry #2 of my positive sketchbook!

Don't be a sad pony, be a fabulous unicorn!

My positive sketchbook idea!

You may have noticed that I've been a little quieter on here lately, unfortunately I've been suffering from a patch of depression for the last couple of months. Which means I've completely lost my motive to make anything creative....and I've struggled a lot.

I have good and bad days, but one day last week I came up with the brilliant idea of creating a 'positive sketchbook', which I will use to paint any positive imagery from that day, or any phrases I've thought up that have made me smile!

Not only will this act as something I can keep looking at to cheer me up, but I also hope to share my entries with you lovely lot in the hope I can help others too!

Anyway, i'll shut up now! Here's my first entry :)

FOR THE WATCH!!

Hello!

To celebrate my love of Game of Thrones, and the end of the series, I've created some fan art of the one who knows nothing!

It's also a little hint at the finale, if you haven't already seen it. (WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU?!!)

Cool grey copics and bristol board, took two evenings to draw roughly. Enjoy!

Go go 2016 Calender!

Hello my Beauts!

Some of you may/may not already know that I am in the process of creating monthly artwork to be featured in my very first calender! Woop!

This will be released for 2016 and feature 12 prints of my artwork, all different subject matters, styles and materials- so very exciting stuff!

I have so far produced two pieces, which you may have seen on my social media sites, if you haven't please take a gander below.....

....wait this means I still have 10 more months to create, better get a move on! Tea break!

 Ciao for now!

Oh dear oh dear...

Oh dear it's been a while since I updated this mighty fine Blog, my humblest apologies to all my followers... Life had thrown a few unwanted problems my way at the end of last year, but no fear, I am well on my way of being back on track ;)

So a lot has happened since I last spoke, which means there are also lots of art pieces to show you all, along with many jewellery designs!

I've decided to pace them out week by week to keep ya'll guessing....So for now, enjoy a collage of 'sneak peeks' showing some of the bits I've made since my last post....

Oh and belated Happy Halloween, Merry Christmas AND Happy New year!!
