playing with pencils.

I was exploring my old sketchbook, starting to plot and plan for future endeavours and looking for inspiration. I rather like the look of the lady above, a project of soft and strange portraits is very appealing, let's see what the spring brings.

I love intricate borders, this feels like it should be at the end of some sort of story, must get my thinking cap on... I feel a little fairytale art booklet is calling me....

Feel like I'm making progress with drawing - simple clear lines make all the difference. I usually have a tendency to over embellish.

new blooms, from a pale spring.

A new spring has sprung. A thousand furs is a world of fairy tales - a multitude of feelings and faces reveal themselves as you move through the shadows. A thousand reflections - shimmering nature, she wears a thousand crowns, a thousand mantles, so many different skins.

Here begins a detailed account of my artworks (printing, watercolours, sketches), textile art and all manner of things I make. My writing can be found over at The Last Pearl.
