It’s officially Summer! (In my head) So I thought it time to get rid of my old, worn out Primark trainers, since I practically wear them everywhere. They’re so dirty even putting them in the wash didn’t work! Continue reading “Watermelon Shoes!!” →

DIY Gifts

I made these gifts (via Asda) for my Sister and Aunt for Christmas. It’s super easy to get things personalised these days and even delivered straight to your door!

I didn’t want to just send them a photograph, it’s christmas so it has to be more special.
This is where my illustrating skills come in handy.
I decided to create something that represented the individual.

 A little preperation photo!
One of my best friends was married on the 9th of August 2014.
I had the pleasure of making the cake!!! I was sooo excited to take on such a challenge (and super nervous in case I made a mess of it and ruined the entire day) But I didn’t so hey ho they liked the cake!! There are three tiers, top – fruit cake, middle – chocolate fudge ‘brownie style’ cake, bottom – fruit cake. Each tier has a different pattern and yes the flowers are real…
The only thing I didn’t make was the Bride and Groom on the top, everything else was done by hand and the lace piping is on all four sides of each layer. Hope you like it!

Bonjour!! 
Just a little something from my Paris project. I haven’t really had a chance to learn how to use photoshop so I just mess around to see what I can do. These are inspired by Carole Wilmet a Belgian Illustrator. Her illustrations are REALLY cool!! I love the way she uses splashes of ink and colour on pencil drawings!

The Whole World

My little watercolour painting of the world!
I thought I would zoom in on Europe, as that is my continent. This was a gift for my Auntie Marjorie, she was a missionary and travelled all over the world seeing many beauties and experiencing the wonderful cultures the world has to offer. One day I hope to travel too, and I shall set off with my sketch book in hand, recording all the sights to be seen.
