My Creative Space

    You can laugh. Honestly, I don't really mind. It is funny.
    Last night in my brains pregnancy addled condition I confused the rules of the colour wheel while preparing the cupcake icing. Intending to have green icing, I mixed the wrong food colours. My brain was thinking ‘red and yellow’. My hand removed from the cupboard and mixed ‘red and blue’. Thus resulting in a black toned blue.
    Doesn't really matter though — the cupcakes tasted lovely.


    Also in my creative space, I have been thinking and writing. Mostly getting this in when my daughter is having her afternoon naps or in the evening after dinner has been taken care of and again daughter is in bed. My little written pieces include:

• Autumn
• My Name Is
• Kylie

    Bit by bit each day, I have been working on a story for a local short story competition. But you'll have to wait a while before I share that one.

    Take a gander at other creative spaces over at Kootoyoo.

Cupcake Time Out

    You are always busy, and your schedule may not always leave room to simply breathe. Sometimes though a precious timeout is something that you just have to do.
    Do it for your sanity, for the nerves of those around you, for your country. Most especially, do it because that delicious homemade cupcake has your name written all over it and is calling out to you.
    Go on, take a break and have that cupcake.

My Creative Space...

This whole week has been about illustrating. I am taking a break from sewing to focus more on my hand drawn projects.

So far I have created four fashion illustrations titled "Strike a Pose". Plus my Lil Cupcake illustration is available for sale over at Red Bubble.

I am currently developing a few illustrations inspired by the actress Anne Francis.

Also I am making notes for my upcoming Emjie zine. Each time I prepare a zine I like to create something completely different, so the book is an evolving process. My first zine was a retrospective. The previous two issues were completely in soft copy format. This time around I am thinking of returning to the hard copy format and using a variety of paper textures. Well see how we go though what with time and cost (How I dislike that word). 

Oh! While I remember, if you are into plush owls or know someone who is, check out my Hoo Owl over at my Etsy shop. She is the cutest little thing. Simply follow this link.

I hope everyone has a lovely day!

Cupcakes on the Brain

I couldn't help myself. I just had to do another cupcake illustration. Do you remember yesterday's illustration? Well this is the same cupcake girl, but now she is hidden in the actual cupcake.

You know... there is something about this cupcake that makes me think of Marie Antoinette. It must be the pink and the shape of the illustrated cake top.

See here an old inspiration board I made with Marie Antoinette as the theme.

Lil Cupcake

The other day I showed a page from my visual diary of an idea I had for a cupcake illustration. Well, here is the finished illustration...

Lil' Cupcake Joy

Here are some doodles I did yesterday. It was an idea I had for a birthday card with a cupcake theme. I am now going to work on this illustration and bring it to life.
