A Right Royal do.....

So today is the Royal Wedding, and most people I know are getting half cut and eating delicious treats that Tom's mum's made. I however am stuck at work streamig the live footage....alone. : (
I only really want to watch it to see her dress and after the wedding when they kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace...........
Just saw the dress, she looked very beautiful. I've never seen a wedding dress that i've thought 'i'd love to get married wearing that' Saying that I'd never want to have a traditional wedding. A Vegas wedding would be pretty fun.

Looking like this..

A fancy ring like this...

Or more likely something similar to this...

           and then having pictures taken like this...

Some new work, at last!..

It's not completely finished, but it's finished enough to take photos of! Hopefully some more will be on their way soon. This piece is titled 'I wished for you'...

Detail - Chicken wishbone, pheasant feet, vintage dried flowers.

Loved up times in London...

Here are a few photos from when I went to London with that gorgeous boy :)

Sketchbook mental...

I  carry my sketchbook with me everywhere, it's full of all types of stuff. It's very private though. I don't mind if someone where to take a sneaky peak whilst i'm not around, or, showing people the odd old drawing that isn't really relevant to how i feel anymore. I worry that if anyone where to have a look through they might have thought i was crazy. But it's only ever been for me.
Obviously now being a very happy gurlie and sanitity's kicked in, I find I need it less. Now it's being filled with artist's names or ideas for new work. But looking back through it is fun. If I could go back and tell myself one thing, i'd say - 'You will get the guy'
Anywho i found images of this girl's sketch book on flickr. She's an amazing illustrator, i think she's an apprentice tattooist too. Her name is Ms Staphanie Brown. I think she's quite brave putting her sketchbook online...

I like these creepy little things...

All made by that clever little bean Magda Trzski

Warpaint...

A new favourite band of mine to share...

WARPAINT - ELEPHANTS

Lost things...

Today i'd like to share one of my most favourite books with you. The main reason i picked it up was because Rob Ryan did the front cover (God i'm so obsessed!) I'm really into the dark side of fairytales, I looked into the Psycologhy of them for my dissertation at University. It was really interesting and a little weird. But anyway, this book is about a young boy struggling with changes in his life and growing up. He finds himself being led into a dark fairytale land by the crooked man in search of his dead mother.

The Website for this book is really good too. This is one of my favourite quotes by John Connolly -

'What may sometimes seem beyond endurance can be endured, for others have endured it, and when all hope seems lost there is still reason to believe, for others have found hope in the darkest of places.' John Connolly
