ARC Summer Fair 2011

Above: Purses by Lu

Above: Monkey and Bear by Fi

Last weekend we attended ARC Community Gallery's annual summer fair. It was fantastic despite the rain. Visitors could view the new exhibition 'Sketches of Summer,' whilst getting a chance to meet some of the artists, shop, eat wonderful cupcakes and to top it all off screen print their names onto tote bags with Annette from Hullabalooo Creative.

Lucy's new purses went down a storm (she used beautiful vintage prints from Laura Ashley - glasses cases coming soon!) and I introduced the lovely people of Reddish to my new designs and makes. Above you can see Monkey and Bear. They are made from funky Ikea fabric - I upcycled a sheet that I have never quite found a use for. Ta Da! Toys!

Arc Community Gallery - Reddish

Congratulations to ARC who have won the 'Life-changing' category at the 'Proud of Stockport' Citizen Awards 2012! Anyone who has visited an event or taken part in a class will certainly know this is a well deserved award. ARC is nestled in the heart of Reddish's community and is so important to the people who attend. Can you see my owls debuting in the top right hand square? Exciting! If you're looking for an beautiful gift as an altenative to the high street (without the queues and crowds) why not visit the gallery shop?

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.
