Penguins WIP

This is a commission I am currently working on based on a drawing I did years ago. I love penguins, and Emperor penguins are my favourite! (Sorry about the poor quality photo!)

New jewellery designs now on my website

I've been busy over the past few weeks creating new jewellery designs. I've learnt how to do the 'spiral weave' technique, 'African helix' and also how to create safety pin bracelets. I've had a lot of fun making these and I have so many more ideas of things to make. There just aren't enough hours in the day! Click on the image for a larger view.

These ten examples are now up on my website and over the next week I will be putting some of these, as well as others up on etsy. With a bit of luck I may even sell one or two!

I haven't touched my panda drawing for a while because I have been focussing on making jewellery, and unfortunately it will have to wait a while longer as my next project is a drawing of a penguin family which I have been commissioned to do.

First place in DeviantART's 'Spots and Stripes' mini contest!

Wow! My zebra drawing won first place in a mini contest on DeviantART! I'm very surprised and extremely happy as I was up against some tough competition. You can see the other placed winners here: 'Spot and Stripes' mini contest

Panda WIP

WIP of a baby panda. Coloured pencil, white chalk pencil and charcoal pencil on card.

It was hard to get a good quality pic of this drawing because so far it is mainly white. It didn't come up in the scanner at all so I ended up taking a photo instead.
