Christmas Pattern

I have been playing around with Christmas Patterns for the Tigerprint Competition, and here are some of my designs. I have been enjoying getting into the Christmas spirit! I know it's early but couldn't help my myself! :)

Check out all the amazing entries here!

Money

This week's Illustration Friday! When I read the the topic 'money' 

I thought of this verse in the bible.

Modified Metamorphosis

Here is last week's Illustration Friday...with a digital makeover!
I love hand written text and creating an image from it.
I have created a gradual colour change to represent changes in nature.

Summer

This week's Illustration Friday which is very apt as it is now officially 

Summer! The weather has been gorgeous and I just love the garden 

this time of year! The strawberries are ripening, the beans are shooting

up and everything looks so pretty! I feel inspired to snap some nature pics, 

so stay tuned for those!

Mask

I've gone for the simplistic approach this week with

this cute little illustration for Mask. Sometimes I feel

like less is more! Also it made me think about the masks 

we put on in life to protect ourselves or cover up our 

true feelings. A bit deep for a Sunday afternoon! :)

Teaser!

Here is a little sneak preview of a painting I am

working on for a charity pledge night! 

The money raised for this along with other talents

will go to Team Honduras! A group of 11 people

(including myself) from Melton Vineyard Church 

are going out to support a church, school and 

orphanage in the city of La Ceiba, Honduras.

I have been to Honduras twice before and taken lots

of photos, so take a peek! :)

A Morning with Miro

My poster design for a creative conference I am
involved in at work. Take a look at our blog for more
info! My setting is Oasis Family Centre.

Art Cafe Updated

I still have my dream of running an Art Cafe by the sea...
now with added veggie patch! :)

Sketchbook type

Morning everyone!

(Test the Pens is back!)

Tree Bird!

My doodle during a Knit & Knatter session...my version of knitting!
It started off as a tree and then evolved into a bird thanks to Lucie!

E is for Exciting

I've finally got round to scanning a few bits and
bobs so having a little play with compositions.

Here is just one, but more to follow!

Little Notecards

I wanted to send my friends a personal card...
here are the designs! I was inspired by sitting in
the garden on a lovely warm afternoon!

Colours...

Starting points for two Illustration Friday topics.
Think I might try the whole rainbow next!
