some new work

Just a short round up of some of my recent work.

This pattern was designed as part of a tutorial I did for Digital Artists Magazine. The tutorial is in issue 31 that is out now.

The idea behind this, was the feeling that there is nothing better than coming home to be greeted by a big hug, be it from your other half, pet or even a friendly furry monster.

Ok, so not the first time this play on words has been used, but with the arrival of spring I felt like doing an image of some dancing bees!

The Curious Pancake

You know who wonderful it is when you get something through the post? Well a few weeks back I won a £5 voucher from The Curious Pancake (the website is currently being revamped but will be back soon) through a twitter competition, I promptly used it to help me buy this wonderful necklace by the fantastic Amy Walters, that I had been admiring for a while.
How lovely it was to open the package when it arrived, all beautifully packed and with a lovely note! It really made my day, it's the little things hey!? I wish all parcels were as pretty.

Couldn't Resist

This dinner set had been in one of our local charity shops for months. The first time I saw it I adored the pattern, but restrained myself as we really didn't need a whole set. However, after admiring it for the 5th time I could resist no longer and took the plunge!
The set was made in Stoke-on-Trent like a lot of great ceramics, but I think it has a bit of a dutch feel.

March Paper Toy

Here is my March Paper toy; George the Cat. He was designed with Mother's Day in mind, though the template comes with 2 envelopes. One that says "To Mum" and one that is blank, so you can make this little guy for anyone you like, or maybe just yourself!

He is available to download fro FREE, as ever, from my website
