Sneak Peek and New Free Printable

Hello again!

Hope that this week has been treating you well. *So* many things going on that am mega-late in the day posting this, but anyway...I *do* have time to give you a peek into a much larger project that am hoping to tell you more about next week.

In the meantime, here's a visual clue:

Update: By request, this image is also now a free printable. (Just right-click and save or control click on a Mac and it's yours. But if you'd like the 4-pages that go with it, the full kit also available to buy here).

More soon...

P.S. Update on 31st Jan 2020: It took longer than I thought, but details are here...With the answer to why the layer-cake pattern was a clue, here.

Daily Illustration #65: Layer Cake!

Mmm. Today's offering is a slice of cake filled with cream. So much less fattening to draw than to consume...:-)

At the moment there's no background as it might become a pattern motif.

Here's to cake!

Days of Cake & Blossom...

 It's been a story of spring and street parties (well, party) cake and blossom here in the last few weeks. So here are a few pics to show what I mean....


For example, there is a riotous amount of blossom in London this week...at long, long last...

.

 This (below), on the other hand, is the first Smartie cake I've ever made...for our street party.

This flower was a first too (at the same street party). I can't take any credit for the wonderful bricks, but as a digital girl, it was interesting to have a go at something completely different...

And if all this seems a way away from digital painting, perhaps it isn't. After all everything that any of us produces needs to come from somewhere, to be inspired by something. And colour provides that inspiration for me, wherever it is..

Speaking of which,  I had to add in these tulips. They are outside, of all places, the *public toilets* in St James's Park. Can you believe it?

Colour has come back to London after a long, grey winter.. And it's wonderful.
