Birthday Cards

I was given a breif to create some cards with a link. I created two designs with the aim to create more in the future to add to the range. It was really nice to have quite a free breif and draw some animals in hats of course!

Quick note: the background is actually white but coming up grey for some reason.

YIPPEE!

I have reached over 100 followers on my blog, on twitter and facebook. Yippee!

A big thank you to everyone who is supporting me.

Bring on 2013!

Autumn Leaves

   

Hello. Here are some photos I took at Nymans Gardens. I love autumn and all the beautiful colours the leaves create. Handmade Holly has recently turned into a bit of a photo blog, but some more illustrations on the way to you soon along with some crafty christmas bits. The lovely lady in the photograph is Faye Carrick, you can see some of her crafty bits and bobs here

I make things too

A ring I made for my good friends birthday last week. I created the top of the ring by hand sewing beads onto felt. I'm happy with the out come, and I didn't really want to give it away, but she liked it so it made it all worth while. Have a lovely weekend :)

A short walk in Black and White

A few image I took today when I went out for a little stroll. I am very lucky to live by the beautiful south coast. I hope you all had a great weekend :)

Lick away.....if you can!

I just realised I never posted my final poster for VW Increadible but true!
So here it is.
Also I was mentioned in The Creative Review Blog! Click on the title to cheak it out.

Hello there!

Hello all.

Mcmillian is all handed in, these are the two dummy books made. Although I have to make another 4! I am going to New York in the next week and will need to take extra copies! I wish I had a magical dummy book making machine, does anyone have one I could use?

I would love to go on the beach and just sit and not think, but no on with work. I will keep going till the NY flight then I can pass out of 8 hours!

So I Could Be...(again)

The first two pages of my new book 'So I could be a...'

I always forget when writting and illustration children's books how long it takes! I wish I had a bit more time to keep coming back to it and keeping it fresh and exciting. Maybe in the real illustration world this is the case? Anyway I hope most of you are enjoying the long weekend we are having :)

"I could be smaller"

Another section from my children's book, its getting there, slowly. When its all done I will hopefully print it and sell it online. I'll let you know when there is actually something on there!

Hope you are all having a nice easter weekend :)

Poster again!

The same but different! Once again it would be great to have some feedback. It is at times like this you relise how great it is to be in a studio full of people who can give you constructive feedback! I'm home now for easter holidays (really early and long break!) trying to work, which is hard when its so nice outside.

Under the sea

I little peek into my new children's book about a little boy that has been told by his dad he can be anything he wants to be, (he doesn't want to be a mermaid though). New images coming soon, my shop will be up and running soon too so keep a look out for new fun things.
