Cats, Cakes and Candy Castles

Here is a selection of the paintings I will be selling at the craft fair in December...

 Black Cats... (I love drawing these)

Cakes...

Pink Rabbit...

...And of course a portrait of Victoria Stitch herself!

Again I am planning to start an etsy shop in the nearish future where my paintings will also be available!

On a completely different note now, quite a few years ago for Christmas I got this amazing castle dollshouse, that for various reasons I never actually got around to building.  Anyway today me and Henry got it down from the attic and started the long job of putting it together.  I thought I would record the process on this blog.  This is how far we got today...

I feel really excited about it now.  I want to make it into a gothic/fairy castle!  Have you ever heard of Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle?  It is most extraordinarily lavish and extravagant and on show at some museum is Chicago.  I would love to visit it one day!  It's full of real jewels and pearls and gold and has miniature paintings and pictures by famous artists inside.

...So yeah this is what I aspire to with my castle! haha.

Tea Time

 

  

  

  

 

This menu was one of my project final pieces.  I used the research I did on cakes ect and put it all together to make this. It was a concertina book.  My favourite pages are the third and fourth.  What do you think?  Looking at it makes me hungry though, I could do with a frog king cupcake right now.

Five Tiered Pink Cake

I think it's very important to draw things from life, especially cake! (Then you can eat it afterwards!) I wanted to draw a cake house, so me and my housemate went to Tescos and bought a few of those 79p sponge cakes and some butter and icing sugar and silver balls and food colouring and liqourice allsorts and swiss roll and mini swiss rolls and created this:Five tiered pink cake! Fit for a cake lady to live in. I'm gonna paint a picture of it and then everyone can EAT it!
