Bubbles and Bella!

For my big-little sisters birthday and I wanted to make her something special, so using her love for her dog and bubbles I thought I’d give sculpture a go…not knowing what I was doing I learnt a lot, mostly by the mistakes, the biggest being that the wire I used couldn’t take the weight of the clay. My top tip for this is use milliput on your armature before you start to mould the clay. I had fun and my sister loves her ‘out of proportion’ version of her and her favourite things 🙂

Sunshiny day

HQ asked me to do a summer themed illustration for the office blackboard. The space is awkward and the boards are falling apart so sorry for the lopsided photos teehee

The blue trellis

This was a quick fix solution due to the lack of fences in my mum’s new house, the garden had been neglected and it was going to be a huge job and expense to put right. Using the wood that was in the garden and an old Venetian Blind I put together two trellises and fixed the hole in another fallen down fence…such fun I loved every minute of it 🙂

A good excuse to have a second attempt at embroidery, meet Bella my sisters new puppy…she is so fluffy.
