Today I'm looking at a number of little paper cut characters waiting to be fitted with some colourful outfits for their trip to Kindergallery. Out the window I'm noticing that Spring is only three days away! Excellent. Another excellent thing, Julia Pott and her temporary tattoos (available here)...

starry skies...
Here is a drawing I have just finished, it is a gift for a friend who is about to embark on a big adventure...
I think it is one of my favourites, I'm really trying to work out how to successfully combine pen and ink, watercolour and paper cutting and I'm finally getting closer to what I want. It's available as a print in the shop right here if you would like to take a look.
Also, here is a little work in progress sketch that will hopefully be finished in the next few days...

the wind that blows...
Yesterday I finished a new little drawing, it was inspired by a poem I found on an old ceramic jug housed at the National Maritime Museum in London. I'm starting to work out my ideas for a group drawing show that is coming up in November curated by Audrey Kawasaki at Thinkspace gallery. I can't wait for it, the line up of artists involved is amazing.
For now, this little seafaring girl can be found over in my shop both as an original and a print. If you are interested you can take a look right here:
Thank you!

ciabatta...
Yesterday I made some Ciabatta bread. Making bread is an excellent thing to do. I used to make quite a lot of bread and I remember it taking me months to perfect the technique, however this recipe is quite easy and it turned out very well on the first go. I found the recipe here, via the super My Paper Crane. I recommend giving it a try, it tastes amazing. You do need an electric mixer, I only had a hand held one but it was fine... thirty minutes of hand held mixing action keeps you warm in winter. It also gives you time to think about the new holistic lifestyle you're going to adopt once you become a regular bread maker. By the time I finished I had my organic vegetable patch planned, a small scale strawberry plantation organised and a few chickens running around the backyard laying me fresh eggs. Baking bread makes you happy. I promise.

dress like a cupcake...
This week my little brother turned 25, Happy Birthday Ed! He lives in the tropics with no internet connection so he will have no idea that I'm posting embarrassing photos of him as a kid haha...
Also, here are some nice drawings from my favourite illustrator of the moment, Hennie Haworth:
