Pottery Corner





Currently Pottery Corner (in Chorlton) is my friend Helen's favourite little corner of the world and both Helen and my friend Alex took me there recently for my birthday treat. Helen and I chose to paint cups and saucers (see above for my finished pottery). I'm not allowed to reveal what Alex painted as it is a suprise for someone!

If you get a chance to go there do! It is really relaxing and great for an alternative celebration for example, a quiet(ish) hen-do. Thanks for taking me girls!

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.

My Five Favourite Blogs #BEDM Day 4

Today's challenge is to write about my five favourite blogs. Each blog provides something slightly different along the lines of illustration, the first two I mention, Lynne Chapman's and Holli Conger's are the staple blogs I always refer to. A good blog should obviously resonate with your interests. My favourites offer that glimmer of hope that becoming an illustrator (with a lot of hard work and determination, and obviously very good work)  IS  possible. Never Give Up on Your Dreams! An Illustrator's Life For Me I began following Lynne Chapman's blog after she visited our local library during a summer festival that our town holds. Lynne's passion and enthusiasm for illustrating, sketching, sketch crawling and anything creative is completely infectious. She visits a lot of schools and library and talks animatedly and entertainingly about her work. She even drew a Koala character in front of the children's very eyes which astonished them! She is a ...
