I’ve been on a very fun photo shoot today with loads of flowers and cake! It’s been such a beautiful sunny day too. The balcony door was open in the studio and the sun was streaming in. It almost felt summery?? I came away with some gorgeous flowers though. I wish they lasted longer! I think bright pink and turquoise has to be one of my favourite colour combinations!
While I was up at home, my brother and I took our Dad to Durham for the day. I was snapping away as much as I could but they wouldn’t have had much patience for me if I kept making them stop! So please excuse the flash reflections 🙂 There’s some beautiful doorways in Durham; a mixture of painted and wooden. Gorgeous colours and archways everywhere!
As soon as I’ve found lots of images at the beginning of a project, I draw draw draw! Initially, my sketchbooks are full of photos and drawings so that I have plenty of images to reference. Here is a selection of some of my drawings from the beginning of a nature project. I keep them very simple to begin with.
I was looking through some of my textiles sketchbooks while I was home. You know when you get sick of looking at work? Leave it for a while then have another peak. I love all my little experiments now. Here’s a few of them and there’s plenty more on their way!
The best thing about Northumberland is definitely the beautiful beaches. I had a nice wander along a few of my favourite ones while I was at home last week. There’s so many layers of colours and textures on the coast. Natural stripes are everywhere!
