Welcome!

Hello!

If you are new to my blog then WELCOME!

I have decided that it is time to begin to really start getting my work 'out there' into the world of publishing so please join me on my travels...



There are many altruistic illustrators and crafts people on the internet who provide information on how to get started and succeed in this area. One in particular is illustrator Holli Conger http://www.holliconger.com/. Thank you to Holli for her inspiration website and blog!



In 2004 she began a monthly log on how to become an illustrator, which provides plenty of tips on the right way to go about it. I found it by literally typing 'becoming an illustrator' into Google.

I really recommend a look if you are interested. This is where I found out about the much loved 'Illustration Friday' site too! http://www.illustrationfriday.com/

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...

Fit and Healthy BEDM #5

I'm really behind with my BEDM challenge but I'm determined to complete it! Here goes...      I've not had a particularly healthy tea this evening, but when I am in ’getting fit’ mode, there is no better way for me than Pilates. I get a lot of my ideas for illustrations and off-shoot projects when I take part in a class and that must be down to the meditative nature of it. Plus, I have a great, motivational teacher. If you’re interested you can read about Joseph Pilates, the founder at the link below. Joseph Pilates
