Love Letters

Under my bed lurks not monsters but boxes and bags full of fabrics, trimmings, baubles, ribbons, fluff and beads. These are known to those in the trade as 'bits and bobs'. I thought perhaps I should put them to good use. I've made these lovely freestanding letters - one for me and one for a pal. The plan is make more so let me know if you have a request (for boys or gals) and I'll make one or more especially for you.

Anyone for croquet?

Gosh it's already February and I haven't posted anything new since before Christmas!

I was a very busy bee with Christmas projects, making all sorts of gorgeous sparkly things for London's most beautiful shop.

In the meantime I thought you might like a sneaky peek at some new illustrations I've been working on. I'm so overexcited about Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland film (due on March 5th,) that it made me want to put my own ideas on paper. Alice in Wonderland is very dear to my heart. Like the White Rabbit the refrain 'I'm late, I'm late' is never far from my lips and I've worked with quite a few short tempered queens.

Pen and ink on cartridge paper for those who'd like to know. Please click on the pictures to see them in more detail.
