Baking with paint and paper
Have been itching to paint cupcakes for awhile. I have lots of friends who are master bakers and I always envy their baking skills. So I was inspired to paint some cupcakes. Hmmm... feeling hungry now!

My Illustration in Easy Living UK
Back in September I had my illustration the "Crow and the Peacock" published in Easy Living Magazine UK. It was around the same time I gave birth to Zoe so it missed a mention back then. I have finally taken some photos of the magazine. The issue was an Inspiration special, detailing where people got their inspiration for their various endeavours. My illustration was coupled with some of Alex Monroe's beautiful jewellery. He was inspired by the fable the Crow and the Peacock.

I'm loving this brown paper! I thought I'd try my hand at a pattern. White conte pencil and coloured pencil on brown recycled paper. And Photoshop.
I love to eat lemons. Yes, I know that's kind of wierd but it was actually the first "real food" that I ate as a baby. A relative thought it would be funny to see my reaction, I actually liked it and still eat them if they are garnish on my plate or drink!

"The Crow and the Peacock"
[EDIT] I didn't realise that there was a fable about the Crow and the Peacock until Stephanie mentioned the fable in her comment. Or maybe I had heard the story before and it was somewhere in the corners of my mind.
I started out wanting to paint a crow in ink and then I thought I should put it next to something bright and colourful in comparison.
Drawing over watercolour
Coloured pencil over watercolour background.
Coloured pencil is a medium that I am fairly comfortable with, watercolour I am not.... I did this drawing several years ago. Lately I have been focusing on painting with acrylics and watercolours.
