I have been awful with the updating of the blog recently, but I just haven’t been feeling as motivated to keep making work. I am considering cracking out some printmaking on the kitchen table, as I want to get excited about making stuff again. In the meantime, I’ve been learning amigurumi, cooking pancakes and bacon […]
Rested and ready to go
I have had a little break from illustrating, which has been just what I needed to get some fresh inspiration and start work on a few new pieces. I also went to Brighton at the weekend with my lovely sister and it was so nice. Brighton was a lot prettier than I was expecting and […]
A long weekend!
For once I had an action packed weekend this weekend, I spent a lovely day in Chiswick on Saturday with the sister and enjoyed some lovely greek food and also saw the new spiderman film (which for that matter is sooo much better than the other one!). Then on Sunday, I was lucky enough to […]
What a strapping camera
In other news, I made a new camera strap for my DSLR following this cool tutorial from Design Love Fest. I had to modify it a bit for where it attached to the camera as I couldn’t find any thick ribbed strapping like on the strap that came with it and a metal loop would […]
Holiday photos
I have finally got my films from my holiday processed and whilst the four-lens toy camera was a bit of a flop, there are some nice ones. Seeing them now makes me nostalgic for a holiday again though! Maybe if the British weather were to pick up, we could try some camping by the coast. […]
Photographic plaything
I have decided to get better at using my digital SLR. For the last few years I have focused on noncommittal film photography which is fun, but I need to up my digital game I think! Saying that, I have five holiday films to process and a new La Sardina camera to use, but I […]
Home at last
It is always so sad when a holiday comes to an end. I got back from Thailand on saturday night and am just getting back into the routine. It was lovely and hot and we even got some diving in! I did do some jubilee inspired bits before we went, but it was quite hectic […]
Packing!
I am going away on sunday to Thailand and have begun the packing! I have also been doing a bit of Bangkok research so that we don’t spend the first night wandering aimlessly! I am just worried that I have forgotten something big! I have probably spent the most time thinking about what cameras I […]
Feline affection
I fancied getting my paints out again today, and have finally recreated a British Shorthair that I am happy with! I am in love!
Coffee lovers
One day I would like to learn to enjoy black coffee, as I suspect that I am just diluting it with my heaps of sugar and frothy milk! Maybe one day when I own a coffee machine!
