domesticated goddess....or plain mess!


im no athena (greek goddess) but the other day i did feel a bit like a DOMESTICATED goddess!
in the space of a day, i cooked, baked cranberry and orange short cake cookies, decorated my bathroom, customised some shoes....done some 'engine work' on my car and even found some old fabric which i turned into a luscious cushion cover!!!

in the name of love.....

therapeutic doodling....even if it is on the base of my feet (but the below isn't....im only a size 5!)

paint me pretty!

Im a fiend for fashion illustrations.
i especially like the one kelly smith has created using graphite pencils, photo montage and watercolours.
below are a selection of my fashion illustrations using mixed media.

sanctuary

as a kid me and my sisters would go to the reservoir every summer. we would climb or ride our bikes up the steep hill for some moments of silence or solace. once up there we would look down at the houses.....near by airports and the large stretch of the calm floating water of the reservoir. we would pick berries...run down the steep hill and yodel to hear our voices echo.
...so today, i thought id revisit the reservoir as I hadn't been in years.........everything up there, looking down looked exactly the same (apart from the beautiful wooden fencing being replaced with iron ones!)
