Hand Sewn Illustrations now available!

Hello,

It has been ages since I posted on my little blog. Roll on Spring time is what I say! I can feel myself slowly coming out of  creative hybernation.

In the run up to Christmas and planning the stock I would concentrate on making, I found myself inspired to do some applique, and created lots of little one-off pieces with a focus on babushka characters. These proved very popular at the various fairs we attended as Fi & Me, especially at the Altrincham Twilight and at Stockport CP market which proved to be our all time favourite fairs (despite the chilly temperatures!) and I have a few left.




These whimsical designs are suitable for a variety of ages and the frames I use a plastic, which would be ideal for a child's bedroom.

They are available on etsy in my little fionaillustrates store, where I will be stocking original illustrations, prints and these appliques.

Rhino Mania

Does my bum look big in this?! Here's a sneak preview of the rhino that I was commissioned to paint for Wild in Art's Rhino Mania. It will be part of a procession of rhino's that will be in Chester this summer. The event is organised by Chester Performs and you can find out more on the website www.rhinomania.co.uk. You can also join the facebook group for rhino mania to get updates of how the projects progressing. It's for a 2 really good causes for chester zoo and rhino conservation so your support would be briliant. If you're feeling flush you can even bid to buy one in September! My rhino is called 'The Wallower.' I'm looking forward to finding out who has sponsored her and where she will be placed. Images of the completed rhino to come so keep visiting my blog... www.rhinomania.co.uk http://www.rhinomania.co.uk/gallery/rhinos To see the final result and the steps I took to paint my rhino visit www.cargocollective.com/fionameakinillustrations
