Drawn to the Light

Drawn to you like a moth to the light...



This is a prototype lampshade for my future shop. Well, ok, I just wanted to make one for myself really, but I really like it and would happily make a few more to sell. Obviously, there is no shop as of yet, but if you did take a fancy to it and wanted to send me an email enquiring about one I'm sure I could sort something out. 





The butterflies are made out of tissue paper, fabric to tie in with the rest of my room, a few other materials as well to give it some range. It's quite fiddly work, but worth it in the end. I'm partially redecorating my room, and this is prettily tying everything together. I'm very pleased with it myself.

Hello Deer

He comes on the silence as twilight descends, riding the stretching shadows of a yellow moon. He wears the forest as a crown, thickets and thorns make up his throne. 


Since finishing university I've been really busy catching up on the life I'd put on hold whilst working away on those final projects, but I have been managing to squeeze a few new art projects in too. The trouble is, now I'm free to do what I want, I have so many ideas I'm having trouble processing them. I want to start an online shop for pretty, arty, interiory things, but I need some stock if I'm going to do that. I'm also trying to keep drawing whenever I can. Most of them are just sketchy scribbles, but at least that's something. 






More deer! Oh yes, I don't think I'll ever grow tired of them. I've been working on some faux taxidermy wall art. They aren't finished yet, and I need to put them aside for a while to work on a few more pressing things. 





Originally they were a family: stag, doe and fawn. But the doe looked a little piggish, so I added antlers to her too. 


I've still got to decide on colour, or whether to leave them white, and add eyes, tweak them a bit etc. 




So, they are still a work in progress but I'm putting them aside for a bit now. I'll update them at some point in the future. 


On another note, does anyone now where I can get a mould for plaster casts made, or how I'd go about that at all?
