Interesting hairy email from L

" Hi Fi,
Thought you might be interested in this. Basically it's like taxidermy, but made out of crochet! (Or 'crochetdermy') It's amazing... if not a little bit scary (especially the lion and the bear) www.shaunarichardson.com
Also... I was at Styal Mill yesterday and I was reading some stuff about what happened to mill workers when they ran away. There were two girls in the 1800s who ran away for a week and when they were caught they were going to punish them by cutting their hair off! They didn't, because a magistrate said they couldn't, but I thought that it was quite symbolic.
Anyway, just thought you'd like to know these weird and wonderful things that I've picked up.
Love you,
L. x "

Pencil Themed Blog Design

So, I'm thinking of having a little re-vamp of my blog to focus more in-depth on drawing...and not just my own. Here are some ideas for a new banner and a cute little pencil character. Let's call her Penny for now! Any comments and feedback welcome xx fionaillustrates.com fiandme.co.uk All images are copyright fiona meakin illustrations 2012, all rights reserved.

Illustration Friday - Safari

This little giraffe is a sketch for a character idea, from a story I'm working on, and this week's topic (IF) has kick started this project again for me. I like to do rough drawings and block-colour them in photoshop to give me an idea of how to develop the picture further. For me, this is an efficient way of sketching on the computer if I want to get ideas down quickly.
