The pursuit of perfection
As much as I love creating sketches of panda's and other whimsical little illustrations, it's always annoyed me that I can't draw realistically. For
some reason, I find faces, hands and feet really difficult to draw. I
think this is partly because I've got it in my head that to draw
someone, it has to look exactly like them - and that pressure just stops me from even starting.
I love looking back through old photos, facebook albums and anything else I can get my hands on. In my last minute packing for my upcoming move to Brighton, I came across these pieces of artwork in a rather dusty plastic folder tucked behind our piano in the garage and so I thought I'd share a few of my faves...
I hope that everyone has been enjoying the festive period this year. I am fortunate enough to have another few days off and so for me Christmas still hasn't quite ended (woop!). Christmas has to be the best time to make, bake and create - whether that's cards, presents, decorations or yummy treats. I've had quite a crafty festive season this year, and so I thought I would share with you over a series of posts, snippets of my own 'Handmade Christmas'...
Ah dear, it has been aaages since I last posted on here! I've been so hectic the last month or so - applying for jobs, working hard on my Clinical Psychology Doctorate application (eeek!), working and catching up with friends. I have managed to squeeze in some arts and crafting (accompanied by gallons of tea) which I'm so pleased to finally have the time to share. Made for my good friend over at PurplePigCrafts, this piece was inspired by the Aztec Bunting Necklace I created in a previous post and just generally the abundance of triangles and tribal patterns about. Keep reading to find out how I made it...
