I also took part in  the Art House sketchbook project my cover was chosen as one of the top 35 sweet covers! 

Fairy Animals of Misty Wood - Advert 2

Wow! I've been gone ages sorry about that just nipped out for some air.....

So much has been going on, my lovely agent Lucie at Bright got me some fab jobs........

I have a  series of 6 little books written by Mandy Archer with Random House called, 'The Fairies of Blossom bakery' 

Featuring ,Cupcake , Cookie, Plum, Butterfly, Sparkle and Button.

'Fairy Animals of Misty Wood' with Egmont is another great project that is basically heaven to draw as it is all black and white which, 'I  LOVE' 

'No such thing as Nessie' and 'Wonder kids'  are also in the offing....which I worked on with my lovely agent's James and Kirsten in the good old USA 


Whilst all this has been going on I have packed off numero uno son to the RAF , second son and his girlfriend on a gap year to Canada, and a successful dispatch to secondary school for my daughter
while juggling a kitchen renovation, and fitting in two holidays to Devon this year and Pembrokeshire last.....

so all in all a very busy two years....just like my little fairies just minus a magic wand! 

new horizons

 Well the last few weeks have been a blur everything seems to be happening at once and going at breakneck speed. I have managed to get myself a physio appoint after almost twelve months to sort out my old knackered back, started working as 'The Art Lady' at the local school which is brilliant as the children are just so full of possibilities, and joined the Bright agency so I should be getting work on a regular basis. 


Feel so full of energy lately, I can't wait to get back into the swing of illustrating new projects.


On a slightly more domestic note I think I have pickled, stewed boiled bagged and mashed every fruit known to man over the summer break, as we have so much in the way of raspberries, pears, blackcurrants, damsons and gooseberries not to mention the apples which are stored under the kitchen cupboards in newspaper making the whole place smell fantastic! 


It really is a hoot living in the country, although I do enjoy my little jaunts to The Smoke once in a while it keeps my blood pumping! 


Anyhoo back to sketching a few new ideas and catch up with some downtime planning for the Art club next week.......and since I have finished my book, 'The terrible privacy of Maxwell Sim', (which incidentally has a rather odd ending) I better get on and order my next...A prayer for Owen Meany I think ...
