M is for Mouse

M is for Mouse

Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper. The mouse gnaws at iron (and gold!) and you can be sure to find stolen pieces of it in their bellies.

I’m almost done in this series (I may only be at ‘M’ on these Internet tubes, but I am near the home stretch in real-life). I am trying to get these (along with one final batch of postcards) done and out of the way so I can focus on bigger and better projects. These bigger and better projects include several “drawn books” and costumes (I need to do a body cast for the next one, and yes, I shall end up making some latex pieces for it. No, I am not making a latex suit). I hope to upload sketches soon.

Stratford's The Mikado

Stratford's The Mikado

A digital piece from a few years ago, which in turn inspired me to do the (Stratford-1980s-based) Mikado postcards. Based on Susan Benson’s Mikado. 

“Real” projects are slowly coming together!

Too much to do, not enough time, why is this always the case? There’s just so many things I wish to do! I think I need to start setting some deadlines – there will have consequences if they are missed.

Wedding Bells were ringing…chainmaille was clinking…

My wedding was awesome. It really was! It was a medieval-fantasy themed wedding where everyone (well just about everyone) came dressed in costume and there was a sword fight and a pig toss and great food and toss the duchess and nummy drinks and fun was had by all! So many people helped with my wedding, making costumes, flowers, food and decorations; it all really helped to make the wedding special and unique!

The time has now come for me to part with some of my wedding ‘stuff.’ My mum and I (with a bit of help from some friends) made some nice big banners to hang from the ceiling. 20 doubled-sided flag-banners, all of them different. And now some of them are for sale! I have 7 banners up for sale on ebay (you can visit the shop here. They’re up for a *really* good price, because I know making, let alone buying, banners, can be really expensive. They’re nice and festive (we have the remainder 13 hanging up!). So pop on by, tell your friends, make haste!

And here’s a peak!
