Pet Portraits - Monte

Here's another christmas present, this time a Pet portrait I did of my family's dog for my Dad.



Poor old Monte dog passed away in October and I thought it would be nice for Dad to have this on the wall to remember him. This illustration was done using pencil colours and is based on this photo that my sister took.


Themed Portraits - Ash Dodd

Here's another Themed Portrait for Christmas!
This one was a secret santa present for the anime obsessed Matt, who I've caricatured to look like Ash Ketchum from Pokemon.


Hope you liked it Matt!

Here's another commission that follows the trend of mousifying characters!
Fellow Improper person, Chris Wildgoose commissioned a Poirot Mouse as a christmas present.

 

I'm undecided wether I like his meticulous whisker-tasche or his spats best!

Themed Portraits - Where's Wally!?

In the lead up to christmas I had been incredibly busy with loads of commissions but I've been unable to share any will you till now for fear of spoiling the surprise!

So let's begin the slew of post-Christmas blog posts with this Wally


I do get asked to draw some random things, I'm sure this is all part of some inside joke however the person it was intended for loved it!

Totoro Earrings - Handmade Jewellery!


When I needle felted this trio of forest guardians you might have guessed I was a Totoro nut, well I've taken it one step further and done something I've been meaning to do for almost half a year!
I've made Totoro Earrings! :D

(Click here to see needle felted Totoro)

Some of you may have spotted me wearing this set of earrings at Thought Bubble last weekend, and I promised I'd be posting up a blog with photo examples and pricing for anyone who is interested.
Well this is what you've been waiting for!


Each stud is made out of coloured Fimo with the details painted on using acrylics and then varnished with a satin finish. The earring posts are silver Surgical Steel and the backs are soft clear plastic stoppers (as pictured further below).
Please make sure you are able to wear Surgical Steel before ordering, as of yet I do NOT have any Silver or Gold earring posts for those with sensitive ears. Sorry!

Totoro measures approx - 13mm tall x 10mm wide (at the tallest/widest points)
Chu Totoro measures approx - 10mm tall x 6mm wide
Chibi Totoro measures approx - 7mm tall x 5mm wide





I will be making these available as a set of three (6 earrings in total, 2 of each) or as individual pairs, so you can wear each as modelled above by me.

£4 Chu Totoro pair

£2 Chibi Toroto pair

£10 Set of three
