Sourly eating sour cherry in a sour cherry tree, of course. Made with acrylic paint and cut up sweet wrappers on brown paper.
So, after the sucess of my russian doll collage I decided to make some more. First I made little stuffed ones with patterned fabric and hand painted faces.
Then I made some more collaged one which I backed with thick watercolour paper, laminated or vanished and turned into miniture art jewerly.I made most of them with sweet wrappers just because I love the bright colours and patterns. Most of these will be in the shop once it's re-stocked.
Here are some bits and pieces from my illustration project on circuses. All my work had been been in my portfolio then was being marked but I've got it back now. I thought I'd share some of the stuff I do at college with you over the next week or so. These were made with coloured paper. foam stamps, paint and white ink.
I hoard paper (I have a big box, an A3 folder and magazine holder full of it), some of which I've used to make this hoard of Russian Dolls.
They're lots of fun to draw. I wish I'd discovered this love of lace collars and ruffs before I visited the V&A, though.
I'm am enjoying the square format of my new paperchase sketchbook. The brown paper isn't actually very easy to sketch on so I'm using lots of collage and pen which is fun. I also like drawing speech bubbles at the moment
Let's be honest, I'd love a dress like that. This is a birthday card made for my cousin Katie.
This is an old illustration, I shall admit, but a) I'm really busy at the moment, b) it fits perfectly and c) it been a while but I still really like this one. Plus it's probably new to most of you. ;)
This is acrylic paint and text on textured brown paper.
I love limited colour palettes but don't use them as much as I should. Acrylic paint in my brand new Paperchase sketch book.
