My Bunnies

Today I am working on a character - Fluffybunn. He should be ready to show you tomorrow in a basic form, so I thought today I'd share with you pictures of my bunnies who live in my garden... This is Maisy, she loves helping herself to a munch on my flowers - that is also a good excuse for having an untidy garden for the past 8 years!

Unfortunately Maisy is my only rabbit now, but I used to have four at one point. Above is my Barney, he looked like a soft toy, especially when he was a baby :-)

Rainy day

I'd be interested to hear your opinions on these?

Thanks in advance

Gemma International

I was very excited today to be looking through 'Progressive Greetings' magazine and I came across a 25th anniversary logo for Gemma International www.gemma-international.co.uk, which I helped Design! The concept was based on their existing logo, but adapted to show their 25 years of trading.

You can also see it on page 36 of the February edition of P.G.

How exciting! Cathy Nichols had featured my Valentine card concept on her blog! along side some other designers & artists, I particularly admire Emma Talbot.

Thanks Cathy!

Rain

No wonder January is so depressing for a lot of people, all this rain and hardly any sunshine, I wanted to think about the rain more positively and came up with this pattern today - more to follow over the next few days

Perfect 10

I have recently been working on a leaflet for a local beauty therapist whom I've been working with since she launched her business last year.

Inspired by all these hearts

After researching hearts for hours and working on my mood board, I have come up with a range of concepts for Valentines cards, (or a base for a canvas print), here is one to show you.

Hearts for the man in your life

More hearts in these gorgeous playing card cufflinks from Aristocrafty on Etsy.

Welcome

Hi!

Welcome to my new blog, I am a complete novice at all this and it is a little scary to be truthful! I have only discovered blogs myself in the past year, but I find myself getting lost in all the creative blogs out there and felt that I'd like to share what I find with others and also show what I get up to in my studio at home.

I hope that you like what you see, please leave comments as your opinions are important to me.

Thank you for reading & have a great day!
