Why hello there twenty//eleven

So now its the start of a new year; I thought it fetching to have a new blog header, consisting of one of my new illustrations. I know, I get so easily bored, but hey that's an arty airhead for you. Below is the actual illustration my new blog header came from. The illustration is of Topshops promo image for their "Love to Love" t-shirt tribrute to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. The photo and the cause behind it spurred a reaction of inspiration in me and so the dedication of this illustration.

Ethereal Wonderland

Hello there! I've changed my blog header (again) as I fancied a change. I've used another cropped illustration of mine but this time merged it with prettyful flowers which I feel suits my style a wee more as I love all that is ethereal and floral. 

Which reminds me of some of the beautiful pieces I have found recently, like this stunning rabbit wall hanging which I've turned into a necklace:

Isn't it simply divine! and only cost me 40p! I've had loads of people commenting on it when I've worn it saying pretty it is and how it reminds them of Alice in Wonderland. It reminds me more so of the ultimately sad cartoon Watership Down.


And this delightful Moss coloured suede handbag with ornate detailing:

I absolutely love the colour, and cost £3.25. It matches the bunny necklace quite sweetly.

This stunning cameo brooch:

I found this beaut in my local charity shop for 95p. I really like cameo's and have a small collection of them, I espechially like how this lady here though looks young and a little like a Greek Goddess.

And I simply love these granny shoesies:

I know they're not everyone's taste but I LOVE them! They're a dark navy blue suede and they're sooo comfy as well as being granny chic. Plus they were only £1.95 a shere B.A.R.G.I.N. if I do say so myself. Also I've just noticed how they do quite match the cameo brooch above. 

(All items found in various charity shops around Birmingham)


And to end my ethereal post-y-ma-jig with a lovely song by the marvelous band Fleetwood Mac:

New Blog Header

So I've changed my blog header.
It's nothing special, I just fancied a change.
These are the illustrations I drew of my final collection being modelled upon la catwalk. 
So yeh that's all I really wanted to say.
Today has been a sad day so I'm gonna go eat marzipan.
