Better late than never!

It's taken me ages to finally post this but hoorah!! I call this style of this drawing - light and fluffy because it's so incredibly cute in a quirky way! This drawing I did months ago inspired by the lovely tale of Billy Goats Gruff has finally been posted in my store! Apologies to all who has been waiting for this to come out!! You get 5 postcards in this posting - go to my store for more details!

Sorry that it's been a while for me to post something about my artwork! I've been thinking about getting more into doing stationery work and am in the process of doing up some cute designs for notepads, to-do-lists, note cards, letter paper, envelopes, invites and announcements. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I've found however is how long it takes to print and ship each design/drawing I do!!!! (about 3-4 weeks - I get them professionally printed - I find my printer at home just does not cut it with the quality I want.) So, I've found a solution (which a lot of other etsy sellers have already started doing!!) and that's to sell PDF designed templates so that all you have to do is print it out yourself on what ever surface/paper/texture you want!!! I may decide to print some of the most popular ones later down the track though!

I'll let you guys know how I'm doing!!

Something Special

The winner of my poster print giveaway, Linda sent me this gorgeous photo of her FREE poster print. It looks absolutely stunning framed and hung on her wall. This is what she said is the meaning behind the photo:

"My meaning behind this photo represents the old and aged, rather all the pain I've experienced in my life where it's taking it's toll on my body & mental state, but the rose represents my soul as strong with Faith despite the pain! I also love the textures and colors this photo shows. I think it's so beautiful in an artistic way with so much sentiment and meaning."

I absolutely agree with her! The different textures working together - brick, wood and flowers. It's like a snippet of a much bigger photo or story - Linda's story.

To read more about her story, go to her own blog here. It's fascinating and interesting and won't disappoint. She is incredibly talented and has her own esty shop. It's filled with cute handmade sculptures of the most precious animals. My favourite are the dogs! For every item that she sells, she gives 1.00 to Pet Smart. So what are you waiting for? Go check out her sites now!

Food Glorious Food

I've been drawing a lot lately. Only of small things that I've been doodling when I'm at home watching tv or on the train to work. I've always been interested in watercolours so decided that I'd have a go!

1. Balloons and Bunnies
2. Care for a cupcake?
3. Sushi time, all the time.
4. Vegetables....and cheese, what a lovely combination!

Don't know what I'm going to do with these yet. Maybe make some cool stationery with them! I wish I had more time in the day to concentrate on Tinys! Does anyone else with a fulltime job find it hard to juggle this?
