Hi thin air I'm back,its been a busy few days,lots of creativity,lots of paint,cloth,paper and whatever has been available to use,I'm trying out some beautiful new inks,they are the most glorious metallic colors,they are called pearlescent liquid acrylic,just beautiful.

I have also done a few watercolors for the little books that I'm working on and they have turned out beautifully but I'm ashamed to say that I didn't illustrate one page of the cat book though the doll book is now two pages ahead,thank goodness for small wonders I guess.
Well Im needing to get back to work so untill next time ,keep creative!

Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away.

Dolls dolls dolls....


I have been crazy for dolls lately,I just cant get enough of them,I have made new designs,had new ideas and am surrounded by half finished little munch kins,they cover my desk,my shelves,my dreams,they are everywhere,they are dominating my life and I love it!

My books are going well,script is written just doing the illustrations now and that in its self is taking much more time than I would have thought,I think I am perhaps a bit of a critic,every image just needs improving upon,its driving me nuts,I'm not happy with anything when it comes to the book illustrations,so with two to do I think Ill either go completely insane or age a hundred years,but they will done!

My camera has been clicking away as always,Ive had a few jobs photographing food and a couple of portrait jobs,I do love doing this work,my camera is like an extension of me,I would be lost without it.

I have been on my favey website DEVIANT ART,there are some awesome artists there and the fellowship is great I love this site,I just never get sick of it.

Ive been reading Artful Blogging by Somerset Studio,very inspiring to say the least,but then all their stuff is just that,Inspiring.

I'm finding that I crave to create so much that Ive cut back my hours in my regular job,but I do miss my regular clients,they are all so sweet,I don't think I will chuck it in completely for a long while,people do so much to inspire me and I so admire the courage and tenaciousness of people when they up against the wall.

Well thats it,talking to air but well hey its cool,I don't mind,in case anyone does see this..Keep Creative!
