Summer Garden - 2011

Mr Plant Pot!

After a very inspiring summer I have finally got round to uploading my pictures of my little jaunt around my Mum and Dad's garden when I was visiting my Grandma.

It's such an inspiring and creative place to be with lots of hidden treasures and beautiful flowers. Check out our Fi&Me blog to see Lucy under the arbour...aren't we lucky to have such a lovely garden as a backdrop for our creative makes and fashion shoots?!

I'm hoping to use the pictures I have taken of flowers to influence some new illustration ideas that I have so check back soon for those.

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 ...
