    #illo52weeks – Weeks 51 & 52

    December 31, 2014 /

    I can’t believe the year is over – which means The 52 Week Illustration Challenge founded by Tania McCartney is also over! It has been a great challenge to be part of and I have created over 52 illustrations that certainly wouldn’t have existed had I not participated. It was a delight to see everyone else’s creations too. If you would like to see the complete collection click here: 52 Week Illustration Challenge 2014 Week 51: Silhouette My other hobby is family history and I love the old silhouettes or Victorian era cameos that were in fashion as broaches and wall portraits.

    #illo52weeks – Weeks 13 & 14

    April 8, 2014 /

    We are in April already, so here are two more entries for Tania Mccartney’s 52 week Illustration Challenge: Week 13 – Water I had initially started this weeks theme on watercolour paper with watercolour paint, tissue paper and pastels.
