Sketchbook Project - Final installment

Hey you guys!

I realised that I haven't posted all the pages from my sketchbook. These are the final pages and seeing them again is making me sad that I no longer possess it. However if anyone did want to see the book they should be able to check it on tour. Just click here to see where the sketchbooks are touring in the U.S.

Blooming Brilliant!

Been working on a baby shower invite for my best friend. Unfortunately I can only show you the first stage of the work as the final image has details of location, etc... Prefer to keep those personal as it's a private function.

I added gold paper to the wings and buds to give the image more life.

Printing crazy

Lately I have a real yearning to go back to what I used to love and that's print making! My friend Emily has been running Textile Design Evening classes which involve some print making. When she asked me along I jumped at the chance to go remember the media!
Here are some lino cuts I did for Chinese New Year and Valentine's day:

Here's a print of the Valentines one. It turned out better due to the thicker lines used.

Sometimes you forget how to manipulate a medium to produce the effects you want to achieve. I'm afraid it's gonna be a steep climb before I'm able to get back on the print horse again.
