Everything will work out because it has to...

Another papercut commission. This was on gold card with bright orange highlights.

Shhh...

Just a sneaky peek on something I'm working on. Will post about it soon!

Beware of the Snow Queen

Headed back up north recently to see my sister's Costume exhibition and her Graduation. It was a show that showcase all the hard work, blood, sweat and tears she had gone through in the last year. Her final project was to create costume for either a film or a play. She decided on C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" but in Russian Royal Court style (influences).

After seeing her costumes on display I couldn't have been more proud of her!

Here are some pictures of other student's work.

Amazing illustrations with the costumes

There were some exciting and intricate costumes on display, unfortunately I didn't write down everyone's names. However if you are interested in either my sister's work or others than just drop me an email: yellowpandadraws@yahoo.co.uk

Just a little something to say "congratulations" plus it's based on this little gem. Love you sister!

The Whale's Way

Been meaning to post about this piece! It's a mixed media/collage/papercut piece based on the poem "The Whale's Way". Unfortunately the author of this English poem is unknown but it is from 9th century.

The Whale's Way

My heart leaps within me

My mind roams with the waves

Over the whale's domain, it wanders far and wide

Across the face of the earth, returns again to me

Eager and unsatisfies; the solitary bird screams,

Irresistible, urges the heart to the whale's way

Over the stretch of seas

Below are some pictures of the work in progress, from sketching and planning to final image.

   

Unfortunately this didn't get into an Art show down south but gonna enter this bad boy in some more art shows. Fingers cross peeps!
