Hoops!

Hello! I have been busy making new embroidery hoops! Here are some of them below.

Greetings!

Hi! I recently made some new greeting card designs on the theme of 'Get Well Soon', 'Thinking of You' and 'New Home'. I thought it would be nice to have a continuous 'circular' design theme in the shape of flowers on stems (with the illustrations inside the circle). all are painted in gouache paints.....my first try with these! I find them lovely to work with :)

'Thinking of You'

'New Home'

'Get Well Soon' OR 'Get Whale Soon'

 I thought the greeting on this could have the fun saying 'Get Whale Soon' either on the front of the card or inside?

Caring for Toadstools

I have painted this little watercolour for my dad for Father's Day this Sunday. I painted some of it in my garden the other day.....then it started to rain. However, the effect the rain drops created on my painting looked fantastic....I think they look like there is a magical presence on the tree surrounding the gnome. I love happy accidents! :)

Petal Mice

Hi! Here are some illustrations of mice which I am calling 'Petal mice'. They are little mice which most of the time have flower clothing and love to be in the garden either gardening or just relaxing. Some of the petal mice also have wings and are 'Fairy mice'. I plan to make more of these....so please watch this space! :)

Sandy and Petal

Here are a set of three illustrations which I have just created. They show the adventures of a little donkey named 'Sandy' and her best friend 'Petal' the mouse, at the seaside.
Every time I see the donkeys at the seaside giving rides up and down the beach, I always think it would be nice for the donkeys themselves to have a bit of leisure time and to enjoy the beach and have fun at the seaside too :)
