I realised the other day that everything Maggie does inside the house is basically one of eight moves. When she really wants some dinner, for example, she combines the classic Nose move with the Saddest Dog move to great effect. If that ever fails (perhaps because I am a heartless woman and she has just been fed) she will then try the Collapse and Saddest Dog combo.
Then she give up and steals my tea when I’m not looking because I’m typing… a blog… post… Damn.
I’ve been wanting to share this for ages but it was a present and I had to wait until I had given it to Tesi, just in case I spoilt the surprise!
My lovely friends Tesi and Mike got married in Granada last year and I was lucky enough to be there! It was such a fabulous day and a beautiful place. Right now, in chilly, soggy, cloudy England, it seems even more lovely! *sigh*
So here is the papercut I made for them. The background is fabric with a gold pattern printed on it. I was going to use it with the gold side up, but for some reason I liked it better upside down!
Here it is closer up!
Penguin fun! I’ve been feeling the January blues a little bit, but this cheered me up!
I think penguins are just inherently dapper.
Here is a happy little bear doodle to wish you all a happy new year! I am feeling a bit sleepy after new year’s eve so the colours are a bit gentler than usual!
I dunno why he is yelling ‘claws!’. Maybe that was what he asked Santa for? Every bear wants big claws after all.
Welcome to the shiny new version of my website. It’s taken a while I know, but it’s finally working a little better- hope you like it!
Here’s Maggie to wish you a bloomin lovely Christmas too! I’m going to be taking some time off over christmas but check back soon for some new blog posts in the new year!
I made a rabbit for Katherine- hope he is behaving! I got a sewing machine as a birthday present and finally got round to trying out some ideas. Tee hee, he is a little bit mischievous. I made some other things but didn’t remember to take a photo of them- d’oh. Will have to make some more nonsense soon!
It’s the wonky ear that really makes me chuckle.
And even a cotton tail!
It is cold cold cold. I am writing my christmas cards and feeling festive- hurrah!
It’s not a finished illustration, but just thought I’d post a little pic or two of something I’ve been working on this week. Ooo twisty and leafy goodness!
I quite liked how the lotus (ish) flowers turned out, but I might work into them a bit more. I’m still experimenting with more restrained colours, but who knows, I may just flip out later and make it all magenta. Oh ok not really, I will be good!
I’ve been chipping away at a couple more papercuts. Here’s a little mountain card I made for our friends who have moved far far away to New Zealand! Miss you guys!
I’m enjoying working on these but I have to pay attention, otherwise I cut out the wrong bit of paper and the whole thing falls apart! But thankfully so far, not cut fingers or anything like this!
