Giveaway!

(sorry about the quality of these photo's!)

In celebration of finally getting my new printer, I thought I would do a little giveaway for you guys! I am giving away this A4 print of my illustration 'Closer' - it is printed on archival matte paper, so the colours will stay vibrant (as long as you display it behind a glass frame). I will be re-launching my Etsy store soon, so there will be tons of other prints available. 

If you want to enter this giveaway, then all you have to do is be a follower of this blog via GFC, and leave me a comment below. Make sure you leave your email address too!

I really hope that you will all enter, as it is open worldwide. It closes on the 20th June.


Edit: I just joined Hellocotton, so if you follow me via there, you can enter too!

Glitter Detector Giveaway Win!

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win Marta's awesome giveaway over at her blog Glitter Detector. Marta is a really lovely girl, so I would definitely recommend checking out her blog. I won this lovely OCC Lip Tar, and it's the first one I've ever tried. 

I chose the shade Grandma, which is a bright pinky-coral type shade. I think this product will last for ages, because you only need the smallest amount when you apply. The staying power is also amazing, so I would thoroughly recommend the Lip Tars. 


I'd like to thank Marta for hosting such a generous giveaway, and I hope that you will all check out her blog!

LEHAPPY

I'm sure many of you will be familiar with Lua's blog - Le Happy, if not then you should check it out! This is an illustration that I based on her, as I think she has really great style.


I also love her hair!

Roses are red...

I thought I would post about something a little different today. Seeing as Titanic has just been re-released in 3D, I decided to watch it again, and the first thing that impressed me was the costume and accessory designs. I especially loved Rose's dragonfly hair comb, so I thought I would have a little look online for some similar pieces.

I came across a lovely jewellery shop called Roses are Red. They stock all sorts of things from necklaces to bracelets, and each design has a vintage feel. 

I also managed to find these amazing hair combs, reminiscent of the Edwardian/Victorian era, and they are just gorgeous. I really like the attention to detail, and I think they would be ideal for wearing to a wedding or party. 

The prices are also very reasonable with these hair combs coming in at £7.50 and £8.50. Roses are Red are even offering a 10% discount on you first order! 

I hope you'll all check out the website!

Oh Hell

You might remember that a little while ago, I posted about the Manchester based clothing company, Oh Hell. Well, I liked them so much that I decided to do an illustration of one of their t-shirts! I'd really recommend checking out their site, as they have loads of lovely t-shirts in stock, and it's always nice to support a small company. 


I don't think the one featured in this illustration is actually available yet, but hopefully it will be soon.

DanniMays

Last week, the lovely Danni who runs DanniMays Jewellery Boutique asked me to design some illustrations of her, that could be used for business cards etc. It was really fun to draw her, and I'm really happy with how they turned out! I'm excited to see them on the business cards now! Danni was lovely to work with, and I would recommend checking out her lovely shop. 


I've included some of the pieces that I like the best, I especially love the leaf ear-rings, and I could definitely imagine myself wearing them. 


All the prices are really reasonable too!

I love Wildfox

I really love pretty much everything from Wildfox, so when I saw this photo I thought it would make a cute painting. 


This piece was originally done in watercolour and pen, but I added a few extra details in Photoshop, and just tidied it up a bit. 


I'm really pleased with how it turned out, especially the touch of glitter on her eyelids!
