Thank you, Ma’am.

It’s been a while I know, but today I just had to make!

Earlier this week I discovered #folkart, and have been itching to give it a go.

I know it’s a little early, but Christmas cards came straight to mind. Plus robins are always well thought of in my family 😊

Just can’t stop

I’ve always had a graphic art style, but I’ve often felt my creations needed something else

I’ve not really had this with my Alice in Wonderland illustrations

Instead I can’t wait to do more ❤️

As a result, Tweedledum & Tweedledee have joined the party 😁

[My Creative Discovery @MyCreativeDisc]

My Alice in Wonderland collection is coming on a treat 😁

I’ve always tended to create one off hand drawings. So to create a collection is really rewarding.

I think I owe much of this to my new found ❤️ for digital drawing.

So I haven’t been able to get Alice in Wonderland out of my head for a while… not sure why

So after a busy day yesterday I found myself starting Alice, & then couldn’t sleep so started the Mad Hatter 😂

Onto the White Rabbit tonight I think

Another day, another design

Very much inspired by my year to come

Planning to get this design printed, & actually sell some of my art

Very scary prospect, but I’ve talked about it for so long… I now need to conquer the fear

It’s finally done. My first ever full digital drawing 🎉

Now just need to get it printed & buy a frame, but chuffed with the final image mock up

Might add gold leaf yet too 🤔

I’ve been itching to create for days

I didn’t know what to start with, so decided to experiment on an existing project

Plan to play around with different techniques over the next few weeks on this design… let’s see where it takes me 🦊

Even my coffee isn’t happy about how early it is 😒

After a difficult day of homeschooling yesterday, today’s gf baking with my little girl was a much needed start to the day, thanks to @philvickerytv recipe

Topped off with hot chocolate in our @EmmaBridgewater mugs ❤️

What an honour!

My #dyslexia poem (Dyslexia Mind, Heart & Soul) has been used on the @DyslexicTogethr website https://t.co/txz0oO7Hhd

Yes some days dyslexia can be difficult. Others it can be my best resource I possess.

Another great poem prompt from @sotlibraries this week

The theme #dance, instantly reminded me of #sirkenrobinson’s @TEDTalks. A truly incredible talk which has inspired me for years to deliver creative education ❤️

🎉 trying out my Xmas present, inspired by my winter walk @trenthamgardens yesterday 🎉

I’ve ❤️d using the indian ink in my @artfulbox, combining it with my usual floral style

I think it’s going to be a big part of my art moving forward 😁

[My Creative Discovery @MyCreativeDisc]

A much needed winter walk @trenthamgardens today.

Can’t get enough of this place! Love exploring it’s beauty with my family, finding something new each and every time ❤️

A very different year that’s given me the time to experiment with my artistic practices. Ultimately making me a better educator when I can return

But this week has been really difficult. Missing the chaos of show rehearsals @KreativeFdns

[Kreative Foundations @KreativeFdns]

Usually at this point of the year we’d be preparing our ‘Confidence Through Drama’ Xmas performances.

Unfortunately this year we’re not able to, but we’re thinking of you all! ❤️

Today we’ve held an online Christmas session for some of our members, & we loved it!!! 🎄 🎅🏻 🌟

My first ever watercolour picture. Chose something really personal to paint... my little girl 👧

I’ve always avoided painting before.

There’s definitely lots to learn, but I’m happy with my 1st attempt.
