SCARY - Illustration Friday Topic

http://www.fiandme.co.uk/

Help! This little elephant didn't invite any mice to the fancy dress party!

This week's topic for Illustration Friday is aptly, SCARY!!!

I thought I would mix the halloween theme with something that I find scary...MICE. They just move so quickly! I can't believe I had a hamster for 3 years when I was younger. Any kind of rodent freaks me out nowadays!

I've just done a quick sketch and tidied it up in Photoshop.

Isn't it strange how things that didn't bother us when we were younger are totally different now? I used to seriously love roller coasters and though I will still go on them, I stand in line staring up at them and freaking out.

Very cute picture! Not sure scary, except perhaps to the elephant. :)

Love this one Fiona. So simple but effective! I had a look at your other blog Fi and Me too - lovely work, and nice that you are doing it as sisters.
Is that you, steampunk Cindy?! We must stop meeting like this! I went on a historic rollercoaster at Santa Cruz recently. It was the longest minute of my life.

My personalised T-Shirt!!

Recently I got the chance to get one of my designs printed on a T -shirt and here is the result! I'm really pleased with how my 'love birds' design has turned out and the little Fi&Me logo at the bottom adds a cute touch too. I will be making this design into wedding stationery in a variety of colours very soon. I chose the lady-fit scoop neck T-Shirt in sky blue because I used to have a similar T-shirt back in the 90s, and this style reminded me of it. It's really comfortable, although I opted for medium and it's a little tight fitting so a large may have been better - however, with Easter having just gone by I can probably blame the chocolate for that! The site has lots of choice for both men and women in terms of style and colour and the service was really efficient with the finished T arriving a matter of days after I placed my order. I'd definitely use them again. Lu and I are thinking of getting matching T-shirts that we can wear at

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.

Five Is The Magic Number

As many of you know, I run a little handmade business with my younger sister Lu. Lucy told me about a brilliant idea called Blog Every Day in May  and I have decided to give it a go, in order to keep my creative/blogging juices flowing. Lately, I seem to have neglected my blog but I really don't want to let it slide so, rising to the challenge seems like the perfect remedy. Here goes! Five Lines #BEDM   The Psammead www.dailyinfo.co.uk Five things about me...that all, conveniently, include the number 5!  1. My favourite story (and TV show - see above) as a child was 'Five Children And It,' by E. Nesbit. I REALLY wanted it to be true! 2.I have worked in my current role as a Teaching Assistant for 5 years. That's my day job - (as soon as night falls I turn into an illustrator and designer and begin howling at the moon. Shhh! No body knows!) ;-) 3. This blog is 5 years old. 4. I was expecting my first child this time 5 years ago (time flies!
