Shy Little Violets

This is an illustration I finished quite awhile ago when I was illustrating the red rose from Alice in Wonderland. It's based on the 'shy little violet' flowers from the Golden Afternoon flower bed - it's one of my favourite scenes in the movie! I was thinking of drawing all of the flowers but some of them are just really mean and I think I hate them a bit! 

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve and I wish you all the best for 2016!

Free Printable: January Calendar

So, 2016 is just a few days away which means it's calendar time! I've decided that the new calendars will be based on the subject of 'Bears' and I've already got lots of my illustrations planned out - I really hope you'll like them! January's bear is a giant, cuddly Panda. Feel free to print the calendar out or use it as your lock screen - whatever you like.

Illo Advent

Here's a recap of some of my illustrated advent images, just in case you didn't catch them on Twitter! 

I hope you all had a brilliant festive period. What did you get up to? ♥

Deer in the Forest

Here is the very last Colour Collective image of the year! The chosen colour was 'White', which was such a perfect colour to finish on. CC is currently on a break until next year, but I'm really excited to get back to it and start afresh. 

I hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas day!

Partridge & Pear Trees

This is one of the last Christmas images for the illustrated advent and I wanted to create a more modern take on the traditional Christmas imagery. I really hope you've enjoyed these festive illustrations, it's certainly been challenging to create so many throughout the month! I'd definitely like to do this next year though, it's been more than worth it.

The Christmas Stag

My boyfriend said that this stag looks like he would be the leader of all the reindeers, and would help to train them up in time for Christmas!

Reindeer

Here is last week's Colour Collective! The chosen colour was 'Myrtle Green' which instantly made me think of a pretty woodland! I promised I had a couple more deer to share, there's one more to go!
