That moment when you confuse your coffee cup with your cup of minging paint water 🎨 ☕️ 🙈.... is the moment you need to switch up your drink 🥂... purely for practical reasons 🙄
.
At least I didn’t drink the paint water (this time!!)

Day 1 of Lockdown take 2 🎬
.
Trying to spin this in my head as hunkering down rather than locking down.
.
I shall be...
.
Powering through my Christmas commissions 🎄
.
Trying to catch up on my admin now that I have a keen assistant 🤨
.
Appreciating my hour’s exercise with my furry boys 💙
.
And not getting distracted by how goddamn CUUUTE they are snuggled up together! 🤗
.
Keep yourselves healthy, safe and positive.

B.S.T. 🐝 ... the gift of time 🎁 ⏰
.
It seems fitting that on the last day of British Summer Time, I’m in my studio frantically blinging ✨up my bees to meet my close-of-play deadline.
.
Ironically the smaller bees take me infinitely longer because they are so intricate... but they are SO cute. They provide the perfect cheeky twinkle to any cosy nook.
.
Enjoy the extra hour doing something you love. I shall be drinking 🥂and inking 🖌 my way through it ☺️.

Colonel Buzzington- Buzzy 🐝
.
I’ve been crazy busy with secret Christmas commissions so haven’t posted in a while. But suffice to say nothing productive is being achieved in my house this week, following the arrival of Buzzy.
.
He is a wiry mini sausage with confidence that far outsizes his stature and skills. 💙
.
In a fog of new puppy smugness and slightly tethered nerves and loving it all.

Mindful(l) - driving me out of my mind 💀🤯
.
Sometimes I need to step away from something to recognise how much I properly love it 💞
.
This piece was doing my head in... no pun intended! It just wasn’t working and I couldn’t figure out why. I left it alone and returned to it today and rekindled my passion for it. SO far from complete but now it feels worth the effort... 😊
.
Filled with pieces from my memory box, this one has brought me tears of joy and frustration in equal measure... probably like most true loves... some of whom are celebrated in here... 😉

💐Flower Power 💐
.
Ugly wasteland➕ Packet of “instant meadow” seeds ➕ Large dose of scepticism 🤨 = INSTANT MEADOW 😮
.
I imagine this is how Jack (of beanstalk fame) felt when he woke up to fruits of his laziness too.
.
Can not get over the phenomenal array of wild flowers I picked to fill the house this weekend. Genuinely made me so, so happy 😊

ChallengeAccepted
.
What is the black and white challenge?

🤍 It is about more than women supporting women.
🖤 It is WAY more than a photo opportunity.
❤️ It is to raise awareness of the alarming rates of gender based violence in Turkey.
.
Everyday, people in Turkey wake up to black and white photos of women reported missing, who are subsequently found to have been violently murdered, often by a close male relative. This challenge started as a way for women to raise their voices against these atrocities- “to stand in solidarity with the women we have lost” and amplify awareness.
.
The purpose of this challenge has got a little lost at times but let’s refocus, educate ourselves and unite with a louder collective voice.

Check out the link in my bio to read the beautiful @huffpostuklife article, written by the talented Rachel Moss, that I was lucky enough to be featured in.
.
When I got married, 16 years ago, I wore a sari handed down to me by my mother.
.
There are so many stories figuratively woven into the fabric of that sari. It felt a real privilege to be including our adventure in there too. It now hangs, carefully pleated in a wardrobe upstairs, just in case one of our three children decide to call upon it one day, to add their bit of history to it.
.
While I probably didn’t realise it when I was 25 and got married, I now recognise that this sentiment is something that I really value and that fuels my creativity. The sense of past adventures, nostalgia and memories is core to the commissions that I create for my clients. I hope it brings them the same warmth that I get from my sentimental fixes.

Focus 📸 . The next inking in my Crossed Wires

Focus 📸
.
The next inking in my Crossed Wires Series. Available as fine art prints in A3 and A2.
.
This contemporary series of inkings features my vintage favourites that have in their time, captured and communicated moments and memories.
.
Preceded by “Hold the line, Caller” and “Just my Type”, “Focus” is based on my husband’s grandfather’s favourite camera. It sits decoratively on his bureau, housed in its beautiful leather case. Historically it has taken family photos of the generations before us and given us a wonderful insight into life, quite literally through his lens.
.
Living in a time when our lives are so heavily documented by perfectly filtered, smart phone photos, that are immediately uploaded to be judged, can be consuming. There is something special and honest about the process and delayed gratification that comes with a camera like this. Leaving us space to “Focus” on the things that really matter.
