One benefit of my trips home is being able to spend lots of time outdoors. I go on walks or runs each day, in the woods or over the hills near my parents house and collect stuff. This weekend I’ve resisted picking the wild raspberries or blackberries to make pies, crumbles and tarts (more baking=fat girl=more running required) and opted for flowers, twigs and leaves to draw because I...
Been baking this week. Beef and stilton pie (to quench Luke’s MASSIVE OBSESSION with pieminister) and then a yummy banana and walnut loafy cake slice thing.
Good job I came home today to run it all off in the Derbyshire hills and avoid looking like I’m permanently playing chubby bunnies. What a chubster.

Bless Fundraising Tour
liveforothers:
Last week I packaged up (in a frantic moment, after miscalculating the postal times) some screen printed tea towels to send to Bless to pop in their fundraising auction. You can click below to see all the items up for auction in this neat little book (check out my drawing on the front too) and put a bid in by email. Whoever organised all these goods is skill, there is some hot...

Community Matters
In the last 40 years the UK has experienced social change at an increasingly fast pace. 24 hour supermarkets, social networking, easily-available credit, online shopping, digital books; the things we desire are accessible easier, faster and cheaper, and we don’t even need to leave home. The social implications of this mean our local communities are often left fragmented and withering as a...

Click, Clack, Ding! Sigh… Rather than go gently into the digital night, manual typewriters have captured a new generation of hearts.

un voyage au musée
I have been going to lots of museums and stuff lately, checking out ceramics and ‘home ware’ for my current project. I especially enjoy chatting to the old people who peer over my shoulder when I’m drawing. On Tuesday a man told me a nice story about the first time tea was brought to England. Well good.
WatchI like this talk by Mr Bingo. It’s not a glossy parade of finished work but a little insight into his mind. He doesn’t put art or “being creative” on a pedestal but demonstrates how accessible it is for everyone by showing us the interesting in the everyday and the joy of collecting stuff.

More doodles from museum visits, I spent hours in the V&A yesterday. Jewellery this time. This silly lady was leaning on me while I was drawing and each time I moved to the next display case, she followed me! Normally it would make me want to crease up with giggles but for some reason I had some serious coffee-sweats (probably because I drank a lot of coffee), so I lost my patience and...
