Rainbow Kitchen

This is one of the double page spreads (click to enlarge) for my book that I wrote and am in the process of illustrating.  All the research and drawing of cakes I did last term has most certainly come in useful for this. Though after this project I don't want to look at or draw another cake for at least a year! I've already given up eating them. You can have too much of a good thing!

can you spot: the castle cake, the the flamingo cupcakes, the squares of chocolate, the gingerbread man cutter?

 It's so weird to be coming to the end of being at uni.  Three years has gone so fast!  It feels funny to think that there's nothing to go back to after summer.  I still don't really know what I'm going to do next year.  I want to run away and live on the beach and live off the money from my paintings. Haha.

Dripping Glitter

 

This is my favourite illustration I did of this character (looks a lot better if you click on it).  She has black line around her this time,  I was experimenting with black line/no black line as usual.  

I would so dearly love to be able to make my hair do that but I don't have enough of it yet.  I think I would need to be at least waist length to make that work.   I have always wanted hair down to my feet actually.  I'm growing it at the moment.  Heres hoping!

Now she's angry.  ^  She can be quite fierce when she's cross. In fact she can get quite... murderous.  I wouldn't want to cross her in this mood!

This by the way is what I am coveting at the moment.  This sparkling, rainbow dripping with gems necklace.  I detour by the shop it's in every day so that I can look at it in the window.  It makes my mouth water.

It's designed by Butler and Wilson who make the best jewellery ever!  I have a tiara by them and its my favourite thing to wear!  Are you a fan of this?  My housemate would say "it looks like Barbie's been sick on it," because that is what she said about my tiara. But I think the glitterier the better!

Magic Cats

 

I saw these cats in someones front garden as I was walking home in a snowglobe last night, snowflakes, eyelashes.  They were drinking peppermint tea and eating stripy cakes. I think they were magic cats.

Sugarcube Castle

Adam went home today and so i have been TRYING to tidy my room. I hate tidying. It needs to be done though because I can barely see my floor! We decorated the Christmas tree at my Grandmas house on Wednesday with red and silver stuff and my Grandma had some BATTERY OPERATED FAIRYLIGHTS!!! Really nice green ones! I went to Wilkinsons to try and get some to wear out clubbing but they had all sold out :( So i found some on ebay instead :) I love battery operated fairylights!
I also found some of my old foundation course work and scanned it into my computer for back up. I made this castle out of sugarlumps for a project over a year ago now and it has inpired me to make another one this holidays so I bought 6 packs of sugarlumps but havn't managed to start it yet. I think I will use dolly mixture in this one as well to make it more colourful. I'm thinking I will encorporate it into our Christmas project too.I really want to do a Christmas photoshoot of some people sitting down at a table and then photoshop them into the castle but I am not very good at photoshopping :S I wish I was tiny enough to fit in here...
I think I will put BATTERY OPERATED FAIRYLIGHTS in the next castle! lol
