Illustration Friday: Intention

"Her intentions were good but she still made a mess of things."

This idea came to me on Saturday as I was baking for a tea party I was to have with friends. The kitchen was a total wreck and I somehow managed to burn the first batch of cakes! I do think the mess was half the fun... Although maybe not when I had to clean it all up a day later. (Yes, a day later. I put these things off)

Watercolour/gouache and wall paper.

This is my second submission for IF. I decided to play around with collage. I scanned the separate pieces so I can mess around with the composition/sizing when I have a capable computer.

Thanks a heap for looking!

Illustration Friday: Capable

This is my first submission for http://illustrationfriday.com.

The topic of the week is 'Capable'.

When we are children we believe we are capable of anything. Anything at all. We can become astronauts, chocolate testers, famous actors, a clown, a ballet dancer, a mad scientists. All that is needed (as we learn when we grow up) is a lot of hard work.

Thanks oh so much for looking!

Oh hai.

Welcome to my little blog. Here you will find my own illustrations, creations, delicious foods and things that inspire. I'll also be featuring artists that I think are pretty great.

My aim this year is to become more confident in my drawing/painting abilities whilst mastering my own illustration style. I'm hoping to do participate in Illustration Friday each week. I mustn't be lazy!

Hope your day is full of wonder,
