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!

Illustration Friday Topic - Swell

Just to clarify, I haven't got a baby in my tummy! I just thought the premise of this picture is cute, fits this weeks IF topic, and could possibly be a children's book (for those soon to be siblings). I have taken 'swell' to mean getting big, or growing larger so I chose this picture that I did ages ago. A few of the lovely ladies I met through aquanatal when I was pregnant 3 years ago are now having their second babies so this is inspired by them.

How amazing is this fella? The seals follow the fishing boats in every night at the harbour and we were lucky enough to see them one evening. The above picture is a sketch of the harbour (and me and C) from the same place we saw the seals. Perhaps one should feature in the background...I think I will add a little addition to the final illustration.
