Today I'm going to share my brand new card designs that I've been busy working on recently. </p><p>Apart from Christmas cards it's been a little while since I made any new greetings cards so I thought it was about time to create some new ones. I also heard in January that I'd got a slot at a market I'd applied for so I wanted new cards ready for that. I've now got two upcoming markets in spring (hooray)! so I'm super excited for those. </p><p>I knew I wanted to make at least three cards and that I wanted them all to have the same colour palette so they work as a set. My first market is the day before Mother's Day in the UK so one of the cards I wanted to be is for that, plus a Birthday and any occasion floral card. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTRJgGTV7wMk1fAX6ryCFslFLayfBY0YGTQPHcyyAakJEBCtK37Za-223pJbUc5QLo0aVjWWTjr9MkpGPGntsXpFSUyuPMSUiaDsrob0aFpO1v2sf3xc3SUWtNU7a1Nn4oXMX3Ra29t0t2iJziQYUm9hPNAUq1JNKviUwvAkmYdsn0p5ZMX7NrcQe_qxI/s1819/mothers-day-card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1819" data-original-width="1784" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTRJgGTV7wMk1fAX6ryCFslFLayfBY0YGTQPHcyyAakJEBCtK37Za-223pJbUc5QLo0aVjWWTjr9MkpGPGntsXpFSUyuPMSUiaDsrob0aFpO1v2sf3xc3SUWtNU7a1Nn4oXMX3Ra29t0t2iJziQYUm9hPNAUq1JNKviUwvAkmYdsn0p5ZMX7NrcQe_qxI/w393-h400/mothers-day-card.jpg" width="393" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtAUSIn0ram0sq-x5rVnh36FqVbN7vAsHoBEekR8GswGc93k1Ry_PaZCdgojgNMDn6PR5rMwxhndMRAcHORU0gHgcaMBXrQJ8mXh7Q4gQQS7xQlPguHS6DSJZqDIJHBfAMM8JbovFd1164FmLfh_uRCjj7ApSQhyIeyebyNFuLBIqbrLyflGsWukW-gco/s1748/birthday-card-floral.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1748" data-original-width="1748" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtAUSIn0ram0sq-x5rVnh36FqVbN7vAsHoBEekR8GswGc93k1Ry_PaZCdgojgNMDn6PR5rMwxhndMRAcHORU0gHgcaMBXrQJ8mXh7Q4gQQS7xQlPguHS6DSJZqDIJHBfAMM8JbovFd1164FmLfh_uRCjj7ApSQhyIeyebyNFuLBIqbrLyflGsWukW-gco/w400-h400/birthday-card-floral.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAKjKIwMICK081E_c3vfQc48hYKj0M6JxIIdSZmrLrn0vGye8pkWgKnPW5aBAqmsPgaTb8QOXJ0r_djgNQmoHJEHKPJpMc5Wd_WEgBLgJFOgiNffZqof9L9Adk7LOsksFPIXtTJ3M5Q2QCAe_-5ZG9xaW2dDkkTijd72o74rcJVwLQJA22YWCGuUYc4jk/s1819/floral-card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1819" data-original-width="1784" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAKjKIwMICK081E_c3vfQc48hYKj0M6JxIIdSZmrLrn0vGye8pkWgKnPW5aBAqmsPgaTb8QOXJ0r_djgNQmoHJEHKPJpMc5Wd_WEgBLgJFOgiNffZqof9L9Adk7LOsksFPIXtTJ3M5Q2QCAe_-5ZG9xaW2dDkkTijd72o74rcJVwLQJA22YWCGuUYc4jk/w393-h400/floral-card.jpg" width="393" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They're now all at the printers so they should be with me in physical form very soon.

Strange to think just one week ago was Boxing Day and I was eating crisps and losing (yet again) at Cluedo. I hope (if you had one) that you had a good break and are feeling refreshed. This is what I call my first day back proper, and I've tried to make it not too challenging with some sketchbook work. So far I've been quite happy with what's been going on in there today. There's a bit of admin to do as well so overall day one looks ok.</p><p>Todays post is really to advertise (shameless plug) that I have a sale on over in my Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">SharonFarrowArt</a>. It will run for most of January and includes all my Christmas cards, wrap, tags and tree decorations. There's either 25% or 50% off those items as detailed in the listings. Some of them are pretty low in stock and it would be good to sell them on to a good home. I've also got reels over on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sharonfarrow/reels/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> with all the details. I know many people like to get organised for next Christmas in advance so if you fancy taking a look in my shop have a look <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>Here's some items that have 25%off :</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwr55L5c2NZUqGf3EG1xjoEb-2I3-xoGuOOOv9fUrI-mTe_3B3GPatGTx-U4h-Tmz1l38yoYGvoYdOblh8XXbKwax30M7SOVZlGlahbGRJQ9gLckU7WicwKsQCJ6sF6ledS75eEI8nkrlNLYSd78b9xToq_MpZPc_JscoMUeoCjE_o6mXgqLuQn4QrWBs/s2598/sale-blogpost-25%25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2598" data-original-width="2598" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwr55L5c2NZUqGf3EG1xjoEb-2I3-xoGuOOOv9fUrI-mTe_3B3GPatGTx-U4h-Tmz1l38yoYGvoYdOblh8XXbKwax30M7SOVZlGlahbGRJQ9gLckU7WicwKsQCJ6sF6ledS75eEI8nkrlNLYSd78b9xToq_MpZPc_JscoMUeoCjE_o6mXgqLuQn4QrWBs/w400-h400/sale-blogpost-25%25.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>and below some of the 50% off goodies including all my tree decorations :<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKTm47Bm7M-jyLKu-cqPK7UnBQkoZ7BBqvR_ksqUxAXrDqkpYi3tiUOHQ4i7sGtjd4taMe_aH-Kg-XOancpL82DkMk0XvQ4PKo2Xxah3wCoL5d_84bub73sK1eUd66SP8pF50raA23rNBUFrEZkDgW5m6rLSjSMG2UjvaxgxZWLYH_BgeL2S-VHU1gC7g/s2598/sale-blogpost-50%25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2598" data-original-width="2598" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKTm47Bm7M-jyLKu-cqPK7UnBQkoZ7BBqvR_ksqUxAXrDqkpYi3tiUOHQ4i7sGtjd4taMe_aH-Kg-XOancpL82DkMk0XvQ4PKo2Xxah3wCoL5d_84bub73sK1eUd66SP8pF50raA23rNBUFrEZkDgW5m6rLSjSMG2UjvaxgxZWLYH_BgeL2S-VHU1gC7g/w400-h400/sale-blogpost-50%25.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><p>I had a good and busy December which I really enjoyed. Can't deny that now feels like a flatter time but it is a good time to plan ahead. I've got a list that I've been adding to, started in December, with things I would like to try in my business over the coming year. I am just jotting down anything that comes to mind, no doubt things will be deleted and the list will be added to as we go forward, having it there gives me something to work toward and get going with right now though. The sketchbook work today is one of those starts, as I want to make some new cards/prints for my shop and I feel starting there is a good way to try a few things without putting a huge pressure on straight off. I think it's worked but I'll save that for another post. I don't make resolutions and stuff, but the start of a new year always does feel like a time to reflect and reassess. </p><p>I hope you're having a good start to January, it was raining here this morning and now it's really windy. I do quite like listening to the wind whistling when I can just stay in. It really does feel like back to regular life again! </p><p>Speak soon :).</p><p><br /></p></div>Sharon Farrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490532319400526978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073000508508238556.post-48623706973345854662023-12-19T05:29:00.000-08:002023-12-19T05:29:30.864-08:00Final December market of the year!<p>Hello!</p><p>I hope everyone is doing well. I thought I'd pop back with an update as I've now done my final fair of the year. </p><p>This weekend was the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/designandcraftfair/" target="_blank">@designandcraftfair</a> held as part of the Truman markets in East London. It was my only entire weekend market of December. One of the really good things about having a stall here is that it is huge so I can really spread out and bring some framed prints which I can't normally fit on a table, (although my arms are not so pleased with this 😅). Unfortunately though, it wasn't as busy as I had hoped. The area in general didn't seem as busy as it is usually, as it's normally very buzzy. It was a bit of a shame but, I still made a profit and sold a lot of cards in particular so that is the upside. Sadly footfall is often something that is totally out of a traders control, however, I got to chat to some of the fellow stall holders which is always a lovely part of trading. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtFuLPF7eDeU15f8asFUJA06Yck5Vva2Fwwk5Wuawccdtq17YUj-ZLRx-qESTdgRvszVIftikfyrflXuWVAfH2wyjv-XFfPOpPnSoo5_XW1OTFmeLe83AENFmm6Ld8PFhYDQBfWyhE-Hed0vsQ20cYd00tdCElYWvpQj0D6Z7LRojzuyLYVTu9EQgc9aA/s2667/design-and-craft-held-cards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtFuLPF7eDeU15f8asFUJA06Yck5Vva2Fwwk5Wuawccdtq17YUj-ZLRx-qESTdgRvszVIftikfyrflXuWVAfH2wyjv-XFfPOpPnSoo5_XW1OTFmeLe83AENFmm6Ld8PFhYDQBfWyhE-Hed0vsQ20cYd00tdCElYWvpQj0D6Z7LRojzuyLYVTu9EQgc9aA/w480-h640/design-and-craft-held-cards.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUvPWE9m7skF1McyiczFpkv6keyVfYyIgayFS4lW29867-9PdWO8M-fDtaPojd4GcsLo3w_eGgT1JmplQJsLm_7oUmhKjPvGiS-2SKV4RhGwUNPqbyNwFhYDUMM8pdvFbm9-9byerUXb-CpbFPdI9cm5XEATZLt2UpAFwN5tm1RtBTDOXhODRRtsSOj8/s2667/design-and-craft-section.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUvPWE9m7skF1McyiczFpkv6keyVfYyIgayFS4lW29867-9PdWO8M-fDtaPojd4GcsLo3w_eGgT1JmplQJsLm_7oUmhKjPvGiS-2SKV4RhGwUNPqbyNwFhYDUMM8pdvFbm9-9byerUXb-CpbFPdI9cm5XEATZLt2UpAFwN5tm1RtBTDOXhODRRtsSOj8/w480-h640/design-and-craft-section.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisk2xwM_88fpxllT23U8Y8O6VqmvWt7INC6RSCzUZGTdwWw3Cs3w5HtBs89MW_4ICUUu2DTJurQ8xEEXdvNonp8fuqHao0GAfNpgrL64XWu_qcCySSE5sL2aQpibJhO1xjtCFJVi8-ONyzVMjfMW9GkfapkAPcH9o31sZWkksOcmI2DaBl23befQoNnDY/s2667/design-and-craft-print-stand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisk2xwM_88fpxllT23U8Y8O6VqmvWt7INC6RSCzUZGTdwWw3Cs3w5HtBs89MW_4ICUUu2DTJurQ8xEEXdvNonp8fuqHao0GAfNpgrL64XWu_qcCySSE5sL2aQpibJhO1xjtCFJVi8-ONyzVMjfMW9GkfapkAPcH9o31sZWkksOcmI2DaBl23befQoNnDY/w480-h640/design-and-craft-print-stand.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi17ELEhjanRhIXCo0Ww2WI64Oq4Ez-_egR9sQ9F77w7ttrtUqX4QXEi-8mjer3VNGKklhAuF2D-4kDPlNjy5aMRXu8VWmXJY2rF7ufZk_S8t0GfSrHLi-YiAM3Q_wabkDqE8Ueq7hjGt6bSevx5k3t1ITBwtjYis06-jjEMu78bTlbHXUwX-BkukiTpkA/s2667/design-and-craft-side-angle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi17ELEhjanRhIXCo0Ww2WI64Oq4Ez-_egR9sQ9F77w7ttrtUqX4QXEi-8mjer3VNGKklhAuF2D-4kDPlNjy5aMRXu8VWmXJY2rF7ufZk_S8t0GfSrHLi-YiAM3Q_wabkDqE8Ueq7hjGt6bSevx5k3t1ITBwtjYis06-jjEMu78bTlbHXUwX-BkukiTpkA/w480-h640/design-and-craft-side-angle.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJu6_SdUG3HmwOer-LUoClYX0YMAt09nhwYairzoQZuqIAyQm8ncLopV1aNPh6dO9Dc_qZ8q0VM_WP2y4Tg89OktCedqHW9RzjBhgZPLCNpk-Fp5w1bpp6wWOX46IaS2ewyNZvjp0kkBb93AIAf3Q7iueEZUUYkgQdTNeeW-DKge_eQ2Ha5xvuW_0ncr4/s2100/design-and-craft-full-stall-front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2100" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJu6_SdUG3HmwOer-LUoClYX0YMAt09nhwYairzoQZuqIAyQm8ncLopV1aNPh6dO9Dc_qZ8q0VM_WP2y4Tg89OktCedqHW9RzjBhgZPLCNpk-Fp5w1bpp6wWOX46IaS2ewyNZvjp0kkBb93AIAf3Q7iueEZUUYkgQdTNeeW-DKge_eQ2Ha5xvuW_0ncr4/w400-h300/design-and-craft-full-stall-front.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, that's my December markets wrapped up! It's the first time I've done a market each weekend and I would do it again. Over the past year I have increased the amount of markets I've done and next year I definitely would like to do more. I enjoy them, inspite of the schlepping of stuff around London (which is always a challenge), the days are really fun. I've met lots of people doing similar things with similar struggles and wins! and that is one of the best bits, as well as people liking your created goods enough to buy which is always a joy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To round up my busiest market was definitely the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/illustratorsfair/" target="_blank">@illustratorsfair</a>. Very well marketed every time, and the location is itself is busy and has a really good vibe. The second was the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ktmakersmarket/" target="_blank">@ktmakermarket</a> and for their first one it really was a huge success, so again great marketing I think. I really want to do more with them. Even though this last Design and Craft fair was quieter than I hoped, I would still do another. The last one I took part in in September was much busier, and I still really enjoyed my weekend there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'll just pop in that if there's anything that tickles your fancy in the photos above have a look in my Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">SharonFarrowArt</a>. I have now sold out of some stock, but most of what is on display here is still available. If you want in time for Christmas though as I post by second class, the cut off for guaranteed delivery has now passed but....maybe you want to surprise someone for New Year!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This will more than likely be my last post before Christmas so, if you are celebrating, or just having a break, I hope you thoroughly enjoy yourself 😊. Also just to say, thanks for reading my ramblings I really appreciate it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">See you soon</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sharon x</div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Sharon Farrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490532319400526978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073000508508238556.post-22855346522061327592023-12-12T01:48:00.000-08:002023-12-12T01:48:23.402-08:00December market time!<p>Hello!</p><p>So I'm back with my market/fair update. I have now taken part in two of my December markets with just one more to go. It's been a bit of a hectic couple of weeks hence why this is now a two for one post. </p><p>My first market was on Saturday 2nd December and was held in a church in Kentish Town with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ktmakersmarket/" target="_blank">@ktmakersmarket</a>. It was their first market, it was busy and felt very festive. I had a very good day and was impressed with the turnout as it was a very cold day.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhydw_Vwn8PNXb8Y412sFE_Z8CZN16B7sX3oXkaVtdFr4tYFeDkAhLVhPMSTPT7fcXp4tAX9S-BlS1H4OQT97XO1P0ejeeN_xiVWxKPpnUm92weuOjQPhHXTG3zXzVcnV4_OiSjzJtiv2enAke2fik9xGCcYIQonzouR3RB7FrRAJR21pnechNH6qGJqD8/s2200/ktmakers-stall-extract.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="2200" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhydw_Vwn8PNXb8Y412sFE_Z8CZN16B7sX3oXkaVtdFr4tYFeDkAhLVhPMSTPT7fcXp4tAX9S-BlS1H4OQT97XO1P0ejeeN_xiVWxKPpnUm92weuOjQPhHXTG3zXzVcnV4_OiSjzJtiv2enAke2fik9xGCcYIQonzouR3RB7FrRAJR21pnechNH6qGJqD8/w400-h300/ktmakers-stall-extract.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsJL6gJ0JdEHGmwnw2NmQ95zX9SQSybi-FELAryfjkQghB3xCqnN3Y8ZoQGMkqUzyfpBChsUjC9w_LLgIzcGxvkDqpMn1jxOdLvwKmJfun9-cc0vIJTC-yOoRNXNQBIX4MsUkhan2EctKVK2vQYJuOgkXnINePjsQQ-w6Y4PZOqaTmjqNUptWgcDRGy7k/s2933/ktmakers-stall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2933" data-original-width="2200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsJL6gJ0JdEHGmwnw2NmQ95zX9SQSybi-FELAryfjkQghB3xCqnN3Y8ZoQGMkqUzyfpBChsUjC9w_LLgIzcGxvkDqpMn1jxOdLvwKmJfun9-cc0vIJTC-yOoRNXNQBIX4MsUkhan2EctKVK2vQYJuOgkXnINePjsQQ-w6Y4PZOqaTmjqNUptWgcDRGy7k/w480-h640/ktmakers-stall.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhednKO0QMEapGNd54TvTRWei_uLPU1xjEVAcNBXpG81NEpa6llCcYiGrqCy2nXzQINgiMpN9qbaDQmonKkyndYPpWxEIpUM3_McLj96VCgPT1EavjXv8ZK2svP-ByYPL5_9Fpa06d_XCqGyNmaF-paH0CkX08YviR0GkXJFeRXuacqDnhatmH1XIax870/s4032/ktmakers-people.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhednKO0QMEapGNd54TvTRWei_uLPU1xjEVAcNBXpG81NEpa6llCcYiGrqCy2nXzQINgiMpN9qbaDQmonKkyndYPpWxEIpUM3_McLj96VCgPT1EavjXv8ZK2svP-ByYPL5_9Fpa06d_XCqGyNmaF-paH0CkX08YviR0GkXJFeRXuacqDnhatmH1XIax870/w480-h640/ktmakers-people.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXr58lYAwi0lKAS9McHbicJ0qlp2mf284ba_ix3dgUiYBgiCFqzx5Yl2gzUhWQvijWnW0yRh7cEg8gHOamJo6e-5HcGAOrWEmtVy2zm55NmLd1y1-RJh77_PSljxYAj_7SKAMlyZvDUCd5q-nTQ75xUd6tVaGHeUuILeGDYeHHJ17cixjFqPmf0WteKeE/s4032/ktmakers-people-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXr58lYAwi0lKAS9McHbicJ0qlp2mf284ba_ix3dgUiYBgiCFqzx5Yl2gzUhWQvijWnW0yRh7cEg8gHOamJo6e-5HcGAOrWEmtVy2zm55NmLd1y1-RJh77_PSljxYAj_7SKAMlyZvDUCd5q-nTQ75xUd6tVaGHeUuILeGDYeHHJ17cixjFqPmf0WteKeE/w480-h640/ktmakers-people-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My second was the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/illustratorsfair/" target="_blank">@illustratorsfair</a> held last Saturday. I've done this fair a few times now and this was the busiest it's been. It seems people do really want to support small businesses which is lovely. I can't say I got a chance to look around because I really didn't, but just from my vantage point I'm always so impressed with the variety of work on offer. Again, I had a very good day and really enjoyed it. Markets are always tiring as the lugging of all my wares around London is exhausting but I always think it's worth it. This Saturday night once I'd got home and eaten, I had a nice relaxing bath to help wind down :).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgSSLOpT_vGZsgI-5PXNyGLu5RFjufv3Nwjc7bkZgE5E5o_CeWJ4jI5T1XDvsDUqBt7wLfrPE1nevbgx5T0P-pGL3f5poGZZKtbvfMOWIk9wh3-66LzytMVSIwpRyPjOgb9fLHqJ5rrsXNZfVWIEzO5IwSoLTW_yRZoBaF8oBkAKEF0101YejYwR7J5dE/s3024/illustratorsfair-me-and-stall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgSSLOpT_vGZsgI-5PXNyGLu5RFjufv3Nwjc7bkZgE5E5o_CeWJ4jI5T1XDvsDUqBt7wLfrPE1nevbgx5T0P-pGL3f5poGZZKtbvfMOWIk9wh3-66LzytMVSIwpRyPjOgb9fLHqJ5rrsXNZfVWIEzO5IwSoLTW_yRZoBaF8oBkAKEF0101YejYwR7J5dE/w400-h400/illustratorsfair-me-and-stall.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4tUqXYiusubNc-JpPrCylDEkqmJMLNAudN-YSA_Kf2GNntQWdFnalWuxL5c1rLqscK_wp5wY7UQnjG9yvYYILBZGJSt4Mw_xFYo3m-GL3XPnS_AiMqXXsohw1llZj7vCBTKgZuSQl5UvWHLplUh_GL9kcPsDA8Gdqp9_BtjTWcf3F6MSsMSlot-LWNLg/s3024/illustratorsfair-stall-extract.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4tUqXYiusubNc-JpPrCylDEkqmJMLNAudN-YSA_Kf2GNntQWdFnalWuxL5c1rLqscK_wp5wY7UQnjG9yvYYILBZGJSt4Mw_xFYo3m-GL3XPnS_AiMqXXsohw1llZj7vCBTKgZuSQl5UvWHLplUh_GL9kcPsDA8Gdqp9_BtjTWcf3F6MSsMSlot-LWNLg/w400-h400/illustratorsfair-stall-extract.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLwPEHawOIqgjDDCRuT_IWByYct0yIJJRFMkCJS2aiZG6I2W2YLNoAV5Ot-ACyzsqPFLO_tLCZ1eZQe-YS5138KGssn7Yira0SeMfUwHUa0N86MnbV7Souu4e37PX_TXUbfnt2Z6LuEMiCJk8lNhOl8oyJ9GeNdgTVEYejGpuWahE7m8x0C-EgYyLdrQ/s3024/illustratorsfair-stall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLwPEHawOIqgjDDCRuT_IWByYct0yIJJRFMkCJS2aiZG6I2W2YLNoAV5Ot-ACyzsqPFLO_tLCZ1eZQe-YS5138KGssn7Yira0SeMfUwHUa0N86MnbV7Souu4e37PX_TXUbfnt2Z6LuEMiCJk8lNhOl8oyJ9GeNdgTVEYejGpuWahE7m8x0C-EgYyLdrQ/w400-h400/illustratorsfair-stall.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, just one more market to go and that's this weekend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/designandcraftfair/" target="_blank">@designandcraftfair</a> so if you fancy popping by then please do.

Yesterday I was told that my flyer for the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/illustratorsfair/" target="_blank">@illustratorsfair</a> won the competition!! I'm so shocked and dead chuffed. There were so many beautiful flyers (check out the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/illustratorsfair/" target="_blank">@illustratorsfair</a> feed to see all the entries), I don't know how the judges ever made a decision! It's been so lovely to read everyones comments and see the likes, I'm totally overwhelmed! </p><p>I had a lot of fun creating this flyer. I'll be honest I started out with a totally different design, the only similarity to this was that there was a bird on it. I worked on it for a bit but I wasn't happy, abandoned the idea, sketched out a new one, and went for a new colour palette. I am really happy with how it turned out. Sometimes an idea just seems to come together and that happened with this. I got to play a lot with texture and I loved making the border and the blue frostiness in the background. </p><p>They are now continuing with a wildcard flyer competition that anyone can enter to also create a flyer for the event. So if you'd like to submit a design check out their feed to see how to get involved. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbbP89wu4PyTxSitQRmYxPv2TuoPsw23JRlhHqAXu0jwgUjewrmVKpNaM0-EE1qbw_L5Moz82POE3AjpuK38ZrkPWuFWrX6SGvtGoyYWDHP-wWZd582Kw_m6lueGvpq9I86MOvkz64Ves0sVHTd9kwNO07QJ7DmtOCay626Em7Bry29FZumrXB8ZBNfGU/s2280/Illustrators-fair-flyer-sharon-farrow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2280" data-original-width="2280" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbbP89wu4PyTxSitQRmYxPv2TuoPsw23JRlhHqAXu0jwgUjewrmVKpNaM0-EE1qbw_L5Moz82POE3AjpuK38ZrkPWuFWrX6SGvtGoyYWDHP-wWZd582Kw_m6lueGvpq9I86MOvkz64Ves0sVHTd9kwNO07QJ7DmtOCay626Em7Bry29FZumrXB8ZBNfGU/w400-h400/Illustrators-fair-flyer-sharon-farrow.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>The fair itself is now just under two weeks away (how did that happen)!!?! This weekend I've been organising my stall ready for the next few weeks of markets. The first is this coming Saturday in Kentish Town. It's the first market of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ktmakersmarket/" target="_blank">@ktmakersmarket</a> it's going to be held in a beautiful church.

I've already been out and got drenched so I'm happy to be back in the warm and dry.</p><p>To brighten up the day I thought I'd share a bit more about the markets/fairs I'll be doing and sharing flyers for the events. Firstly I'll share the flyers I've made. They're all made for <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sharonfarrow/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> so they're square in shape.</p><p>This first one I've created is for all the markets I'll be at, arranged around my shop logo for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">SharonFarrowArt</a> shown in the middle. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQtH5dlnT-C5JkXxrCRbD1fb6cZETnM0Xdm5hXyL-vdXwl-EqU5AS5m_2k1M-TW2h8LcrgoWBp7hlPQwXc7S_G3XgZ5q8jU5ECEEjKvez9m87SjQnym5aFArvGmXBT9cqEmb-DjsIZMDK-lCFEeTZD8c9NDxUYbLxcktN0a97X57g6vYgclTY887ZLaQE/s2421/market-flyer-ALL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2421" data-original-width="2421" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQtH5dlnT-C5JkXxrCRbD1fb6cZETnM0Xdm5hXyL-vdXwl-EqU5AS5m_2k1M-TW2h8LcrgoWBp7hlPQwXc7S_G3XgZ5q8jU5ECEEjKvez9m87SjQnym5aFArvGmXBT9cqEmb-DjsIZMDK-lCFEeTZD8c9NDxUYbLxcktN0a97X57g6vYgclTY887ZLaQE/w400-h400/market-flyer-ALL.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">SharonFarrowArt</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ktmakersmarket/" target="_blank">Kentish Town Makers Market</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/illustratorsfair/" target="_blank">Illustrators' Fair</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/designandcraftfair/" target="_blank">Design and Craft Fair</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The next is a flyer specifically for the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/illustratorsfair/" target="_blank">Illustrators' fair</a>. For every fair they do, all stall holders are invited to create a flyer for the event a #festivalofflyers. It's a great way of showcasing the work of the illustrators' involved and it makes for a beautifully diverse gallery over on their feed. I was thinking of crisp and frosty December days for my flyer and I'm really happy with how it's turned out.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-LNn4R2yJNwXLl7fnjxC7yjrPLmZ3z4cezPqrv81FrWq7iYHtwF_unCa-Usdu3SZTB5ed_dhKa-OO3yt7TryqIzhDQ2s1I09aQwru8fO62x7ZhXlhBvK1X3dTZhUQfLRVWDv6U09swfmdgwfi0izUrFyeMk25Oltck1X9KFZ943i54rnpOKJIq8EmnWM/s2280/Illustrators-fair-flyer-sharon-farrow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2280" data-original-width="2280" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-LNn4R2yJNwXLl7fnjxC7yjrPLmZ3z4cezPqrv81FrWq7iYHtwF_unCa-Usdu3SZTB5ed_dhKa-OO3yt7TryqIzhDQ2s1I09aQwru8fO62x7ZhXlhBvK1X3dTZhUQfLRVWDv6U09swfmdgwfi0izUrFyeMk25Oltck1X9KFZ943i54rnpOKJIq8EmnWM/w400-h400/Illustrators-fair-flyer-sharon-farrow.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Here's the generic flyers for two of those events :</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9eTtmV8KCpC-PZLUINuXGiT6q_RNEqn7ZzO7yHn8_rbEl2Lg7AsR50XhKGOdxkx4QAK_pUGLpMjgbJXDZHUDrY2w6nryR7A0BMVdbzjqxNiVlgziZjnrmriKnvcZcBf3WVemYxNxKfDhsp1dBFhmmg2VVBMdkaT8vdAHyQ75sH9NTXB0RqDQHGqbWdoM/s1080/I'm%20going%20to%20be%20at%20KTMM%201x1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9eTtmV8KCpC-PZLUINuXGiT6q_RNEqn7ZzO7yHn8_rbEl2Lg7AsR50XhKGOdxkx4QAK_pUGLpMjgbJXDZHUDrY2w6nryR7A0BMVdbzjqxNiVlgziZjnrmriKnvcZcBf3WVemYxNxKfDhsp1dBFhmmg2VVBMdkaT8vdAHyQ75sH9NTXB0RqDQHGqbWdoM/w400-h400/I'm%20going%20to%20be%20at%20KTMM%201x1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicRaePqzmj63u_yfXw6TXmEGRCDn1-ixJd2pCmyHf8YnajTs8Ov5Bm6rgpiIi8Wcfn6-yLtRAhJyBn94XThObe5LvTVGRC5HksdCI5tGDyUcVNllaCvxkji8EuS33g62OM9nXj0w2ILVjJ_btJsjVd6TBNNhtlzG6XpbE4_0kPyYBScQi0kNSwryXP3a8/s1512/image0-3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="1512" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicRaePqzmj63u_yfXw6TXmEGRCDn1-ixJd2pCmyHf8YnajTs8Ov5Bm6rgpiIi8Wcfn6-yLtRAhJyBn94XThObe5LvTVGRC5HksdCI5tGDyUcVNllaCvxkji8EuS33g62OM9nXj0w2ILVjJ_btJsjVd6TBNNhtlzG6XpbE4_0kPyYBScQi0kNSwryXP3a8/w400-h400/image0-3.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm getting ready ensuring I have everything to display all the items I have.

Still, I have a bit to share right now so I think today is the day for more of my scribblings. </p><p>I've been busy getting ready for......I daren't say it, because it is early, but, yes, for Christmas. It's tricky, but as a person making and selling things for that time of year you do have to start gabbling about it early! It's been quite exciting for me really because I've tried out a few new things this time. Foiled cards is one. They've been something I've wanted to try for a while, and I'm really happy finally to have made some. I've also ventured into making wrapping paper and gift tags this year. </p><p>My original plan was to make one set of cards, the foiled ones, but once they were done I was in the swing of festive ideas (you know how it is), so I made another card featuring partridges (any excuse to draw a bird), and seasonal foliage. I'm really happy with all the designs, I've realised it's a very green coloured Christmas in Sharon land but that's ok I think :).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_l5MhE5Qd-kzq_eLbJblDgD8j7ST2m1m4uCZmCRfFDS2fKd5gOcjNaLkBgCmfnxgEYS5ruxW3TrCEiZ372DqAVF1yIM2uTZ8_9gPQzuDmM8zHpgUBRiXgj7LsCNc4jHYa-9RCuBSB3M5ihDEfjNpO53SX20uSfbGPUwsoRE8cFEzvj8dTB7lszzzIRNI/s1400/partridges-full-website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_l5MhE5Qd-kzq_eLbJblDgD8j7ST2m1m4uCZmCRfFDS2fKd5gOcjNaLkBgCmfnxgEYS5ruxW3TrCEiZ372DqAVF1yIM2uTZ8_9gPQzuDmM8zHpgUBRiXgj7LsCNc4jHYa-9RCuBSB3M5ihDEfjNpO53SX20uSfbGPUwsoRE8cFEzvj8dTB7lszzzIRNI/w400-h400/partridges-full-website.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO2QPkOuIVWN8mIPMY__gZo6SjrxE86eC8IDfwmUcF0ybWpOEA8f1aFpx8ohesCQbeStHXgxR_Kc67xAqKNMt3VoxFfRSgVPlOlXskcmMxBZi8Yt0xyQuK6wfhgkwsyO7CBrebCwgiHpeu99wbEPpDgsdATjz6Ds04bRKqKlJiOaIbKvODiACI47nnUmc/s1500/A6-Christmas-card-full-2-website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO2QPkOuIVWN8mIPMY__gZo6SjrxE86eC8IDfwmUcF0ybWpOEA8f1aFpx8ohesCQbeStHXgxR_Kc67xAqKNMt3VoxFfRSgVPlOlXskcmMxBZi8Yt0xyQuK6wfhgkwsyO7CBrebCwgiHpeu99wbEPpDgsdATjz6Ds04bRKqKlJiOaIbKvODiACI47nnUmc/w400-h400/A6-Christmas-card-full-2-website.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh8RfLjh3fXQd7oSHzyNed1bUV-uhtz9nB91jTgMtaShdpdCC7ywDYqnZSl-Ls2W9ktwBGL8nugfz_t7WpAyRBVpYjrCGtQLRzCoeZh2VUuYgMJBZDtwK5nQbaJfVodqjnRcjYvEzRHk1oOq6Rq1G2DV4pqU3u6F63R2WViawKCZjcOxdHLdeCV926i1c/s1400/wrap-2-box-website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh8RfLjh3fXQd7oSHzyNed1bUV-uhtz9nB91jTgMtaShdpdCC7ywDYqnZSl-Ls2W9ktwBGL8nugfz_t7WpAyRBVpYjrCGtQLRzCoeZh2VUuYgMJBZDtwK5nQbaJfVodqjnRcjYvEzRHk1oOq6Rq1G2DV4pqU3u6F63R2WViawKCZjcOxdHLdeCV926i1c/w400-h400/wrap-2-box-website.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjom5JOt9Sd9zRXXJBXy7z0UwZVZUaPc2S5KIFDMm3EN8tsa6lJ2KSkFa1YEZG5qpJypGq4SVBPzpIZVoyTEJXKFGUjCwR5qr0XIgM9E4S0F0N6CDK2pL5lYiZbCfclEi09pPVXvQqzY4Pi8gdaGnUxQazRmXPi_A8BXpHqN5mrjh9tOmurmuBdistIbKs/s1500/gift-tags-main-website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjom5JOt9Sd9zRXXJBXy7z0UwZVZUaPc2S5KIFDMm3EN8tsa6lJ2KSkFa1YEZG5qpJypGq4SVBPzpIZVoyTEJXKFGUjCwR5qr0XIgM9E4S0F0N6CDK2pL5lYiZbCfclEi09pPVXvQqzY4Pi8gdaGnUxQazRmXPi_A8BXpHqN5mrjh9tOmurmuBdistIbKs/w400-h400/gift-tags-main-website.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>They are now all live in my Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">SharonFarrowArt</a></p><p>Also, if you're in London in December I will be selling in the flesh at various markets every weekend throughout that month.

I came back from a short Christmas break full of energy and enthusiasm, ready to flesh out some ideas that had been brewing for a while. </p><p>For the purpose of this post I'm going to focus on three recent images I made. My plan was to make a small group of images with a similar subject matter and colour palette.

I am a basic linocutter I guess but as there's no real right or wrong way for my purposes (so I've told myself), I feel that's ok. I wanted each bird to be surrounded by a strange plant land, and I really enjoy creating fantasy plants and landscapes that are a little strange and perhaps unsettling. I always like to imagine living in those strange worlds and whether I'd feel entirely comfortable! I wanted the images to be retro-mid century tinged, and I hope my chosen colour palette reflects this. Once the linocut print was down, I worked into the landscape building it up with coloured pencil, acrylic and gouache. I get totally absorbed in creating, working up the layers, making the textures, it's a real joy. I've started using gouache after leaving it for a long time (lots of dried tubes that have now been re-discovered and bought back to life, not always successfully)! I find for larger areas it scans better that watercolour for me (although that may be my bad scanning technique, who knows, if anyone has any tips I'm all ears)! I took inspiration from sketches I made from one of my many visits to the <a href="https://www.vam.ac.uk" target="_blank">V&A Museum</a> in London (love it so), and of course natures delights, birds, are always a lovely subject. The V&A has a huge amount of beautiful and sometimes strange objects and artwork. I especially love the medieval period rooms and get lost in time when I'm there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, I think I've rabbled on for long enough.

Today I'm sharing another new piece of work that's been inspired by my museum sketches. I had a real desire to draw a dragon. I saw so many of them in my museum wanderings, and there is something very magical about them that really captures my imagination. It took quite a bit of sketching to get the dragon that I wanted to create, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. I hope there's a sense of personality captured in my creation! I've been enjoying drawing fantastic, strange, mythical creatures over these past few months, adding to my usual bird and animal creations. It's been a bit of a shift for me in terms of subject matter, and something I'm hoping to continue with.</p><p>The dragon was transformed into a linocut image and then the rest was a combination of acrylic paint, coloured pencil, charcoal, and pen. I wanted to take elements of stone work, carvings and fire into the illustration and I loved creating all those textures and patterns. I also indulged my love of a limited colour palette sticking to three main colours. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZiXTxyt3pdhHB1CoCy11a-zV7NWN_z4v7b-ge5SBik8V-IBI_uXOA9qMJQPYxCH5gZB1oDkroKo9TmlgFQU7l6UXbig4k91miYoBphQCwa5Eoscp4mdxR6RbKFsK7VG29SimjizipzaiCrJ_z1mCU6MDqeywl0aP_5HD7lJ0-VjuBgF8VN8fQAYWE/s1433/Dragon-sharon-farrow-website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1433" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZiXTxyt3pdhHB1CoCy11a-zV7NWN_z4v7b-ge5SBik8V-IBI_uXOA9qMJQPYxCH5gZB1oDkroKo9TmlgFQU7l6UXbig4k91miYoBphQCwa5Eoscp4mdxR6RbKFsK7VG29SimjizipzaiCrJ_z1mCU6MDqeywl0aP_5HD7lJ0-VjuBgF8VN8fQAYWE/w536-h640/Dragon-sharon-farrow-website.jpg" width="536" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I like to keep the lino smudges in my work and not leave things too clean, just a personal preference really, does that work?

My idea for this image was to create something inspired by ceramic work, carvings and tapestries that I saw on my visit. It's a combination of linocut, handmade stencils alongside painted and pencilled shapes. I've mentioned before that I love using limited colour palettes, that way of working really suits me.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUBs7vMFMbu_wIzM4hVMJppzbc1Y8WwGemxroN2zjoZEwz1A1KgvUUzcQGlK5Y-4ZWZaOB6HxaB-qwfacUpB6j38Iaw38E2PvhEhaeILL7weavm2keVG92tqstRLT3AbVohrzqTdlgkbyRqfUKLXpcH2gQCgnHeFqejfxQ3hyMOStYaKCGR7GW493z/s1600/birds-and-plants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1210" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUBs7vMFMbu_wIzM4hVMJppzbc1Y8WwGemxroN2zjoZEwz1A1KgvUUzcQGlK5Y-4ZWZaOB6HxaB-qwfacUpB6j38Iaw38E2PvhEhaeILL7weavm2keVG92tqstRLT3AbVohrzqTdlgkbyRqfUKLXpcH2gQCgnHeFqejfxQ3hyMOStYaKCGR7GW493z/w485-h640/birds-and-plants.jpg" width="485" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've just finished another image in a similar vein, using that sketch and museum visit as my inspiration which I'll share next time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Have a great rest of the week :).</div><p><br /></p>Sharon Farrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490532319400526978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073000508508238556.post-85258687044716652932022-09-09T01:31:00.001-07:002022-09-09T01:31:11.329-07:00Sketching, sketching, sketching<p>Hello,</p><p>Last week I took myself for a midweek museum visit. I picked one of my favourite museums which I've been to countless times, the <a href="https://www.vam.ac.uk" target="_blank">V&A</a>. I always feel so lucky to have such a fantastic museum within easy reach of me, and since I moved to London many years ago it's been a staple place to visit for me. I always come away so inspired by what I've seen, and it really seems to fire up the creative juices!</p><p>I intended to sketch on site a lot more than I actually did, but in the end I did a lot more looking, wandering, and took a lot more photos that I could use as reference later. The plan then was just to sketch freely, drawing from what I'd seen, and seeing what ideas would come along as I did. Once I got home I picked a long random piece of paper that was a wonky end from a roll of paper I have, and just began drawing. It was so much fun. I was completely absorbed in that drawing, it didn't matter how it turned out or what came about to draw next, I was just letting it flow very naturally and it felt wonderful. I wanted to just sketch with pencil and without colour, as this is something I've only been using recently to do very quick drawings, so I really wanted to explore using just that one medium. I was so happy with how it turned out and it has produced seeds of new ideas which may or may not be taken further (more scribbling is due to commence)! It's also definitely taken my mind off into new subject matter which is always a bonus, and was something that I really hoped would happen. To top it all off the whole process has given me an enormous amount of pleasure which has been an amazing gift to me. I could have just carried on drawing and drawing if the paper hadn't run out!</p><p>This is the full drawing.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVUjps3WuiuhO6csUFuo4gXAWeyran3DZYtcDPkppLQaJJzRVuP66AuOsOx1Me1znD51CAUnc7Cybb9Mf1WGKGvzGsokCNRU9pXyy3LXtJWbH9Nd4KE7QQ6IE-VfPrLtIFW4_Oym2qHhfJRZjoaJsMHJMJafQnVxjtpt1YBsDXGccj_s8qcnntHYKu/s4724/museum-sketch.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1344" data-original-width="4724" height="114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVUjps3WuiuhO6csUFuo4gXAWeyran3DZYtcDPkppLQaJJzRVuP66AuOsOx1Me1znD51CAUnc7Cybb9Mf1WGKGvzGsokCNRU9pXyy3LXtJWbH9Nd4KE7QQ6IE-VfPrLtIFW4_Oym2qHhfJRZjoaJsMHJMJafQnVxjtpt1YBsDXGccj_s8qcnntHYKu/w400-h114/museum-sketch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1K--l5zrH33wbh7evMsCGdt9o1083O4TsZnS_usqQRgxGSMgCTPSqhyMD3nallIimORHk4nQ6-wCMfqeWt0X9ApgJw9eNX6aOWeYPbtjXJJTfK-Qh5qqiybeWKQw3CgIPOEzJSKSCrl8YSZC_jJ2fOd7Or81N5ur3RhgbNwN7NVyBbWPQHMV5wW1S/s1417/sketch-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="1417" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1K--l5zrH33wbh7evMsCGdt9o1083O4TsZnS_usqQRgxGSMgCTPSqhyMD3nallIimORHk4nQ6-wCMfqeWt0X9ApgJw9eNX6aOWeYPbtjXJJTfK-Qh5qqiybeWKQw3CgIPOEzJSKSCrl8YSZC_jJ2fOd7Or81N5ur3RhgbNwN7NVyBbWPQHMV5wW1S/w400-h400/sketch-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-KtNKivAw6j3VORjGZqJOCpdL2UvXsgqzxNfoL2l_5dMAGerit1vHBGPvkw93lfv_aF_u_N3-pC_iGA0ahBQkddLUDfjORsyliRn51Nh5KwNiIbIRyCDGP16V93K7RJm46r_dIcY0vwHfSHRcwmeNy5H9CUyf9QqsgFVsA1D9BwZuC3CUtqwRe4o/s1417/sketch-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="1417" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-KtNKivAw6j3VORjGZqJOCpdL2UvXsgqzxNfoL2l_5dMAGerit1vHBGPvkw93lfv_aF_u_N3-pC_iGA0ahBQkddLUDfjORsyliRn51Nh5KwNiIbIRyCDGP16V93K7RJm46r_dIcY0vwHfSHRcwmeNy5H9CUyf9QqsgFVsA1D9BwZuC3CUtqwRe4o/w400-h400/sketch-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEAnvlXzpnTsQr-TAdbouQbstPnAvo_36Imsi19gx9Q8HSMPUH1qjDONcH8LZgvVJHU2RoboMtFblRpRCxcwoCP17eVqvw7jyncQat0FkRoiAw1sgxdtCgW6R9haz8ZeOqaEKuHPZ3wzUbNgCLOT3AHw5xGdoIVqJN1sFabX5OrVqlSKJHhBr9aML/s1417/sketch-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="1417" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEAnvlXzpnTsQr-TAdbouQbstPnAvo_36Imsi19gx9Q8HSMPUH1qjDONcH8LZgvVJHU2RoboMtFblRpRCxcwoCP17eVqvw7jyncQat0FkRoiAw1sgxdtCgW6R9haz8ZeOqaEKuHPZ3wzUbNgCLOT3AHw5xGdoIVqJN1sFabX5OrVqlSKJHhBr9aML/w400-h400/sketch-3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-N0_YU7MJCe96rSR_iICu-oODbOnl2_ddLBJ6ZlCVfY5_NvIRxgmxYRUQvIXzdjVCBJfMM3th9WumEVup2Z3Z-hcq-t6Y2EQ0cmFJ_7FIahk4af59bmts9Q5agwQ4q-bBscCx6YzjpjFndFuvzzQKoMPfWLVmsIG-iZfA_AYd7jU7xWKQDVBe26x/s1417/sketch-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1417" data-original-width="1417" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-N0_YU7MJCe96rSR_iICu-oODbOnl2_ddLBJ6ZlCVfY5_NvIRxgmxYRUQvIXzdjVCBJfMM3th9WumEVup2Z3Z-hcq-t6Y2EQ0cmFJ_7FIahk4af59bmts9Q5agwQ4q-bBscCx6YzjpjFndFuvzzQKoMPfWLVmsIG-iZfA_AYd7jU7xWKQDVBe26x/w400-h400/sketch-4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I'm now working up some ideas inspired by these drawings, and continuing to sketch :).<div>Enjoy your weekend. <br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p></div></div>Sharon Farrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490532319400526978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073000508508238556.post-10450195067513397762022-09-02T05:50:00.000-07:002022-09-02T05:50:20.083-07:00My recent way of working <p>Hello,</p><p>I hope you're all having a good start to September. Can't quite believe it's here already and as it's been a lovely summer here in the UK, I'm hoping some good weather will continue as I've loved wearing shorts pretty much everyday all the way through. That's been a real treat for my legs and a nice change from them being cooped up. So far it's still good so all is well. </p><p>Today I'm sharing a new image I've recently finished. I've been working a lot with ideas just from my imagination over the past few months which I've then made into prints or cards. I guess it's a bit of a change for me to just create work where I feel I have complete freedom to experiment as it's all been work that will potentially go into my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> or just be created as portfolio pieces for my <a href="https://www.sharonfarrow.com" target="_blank">website</a>. I've mentioned before how enjoyable this has been for me and it's also meant I've allowed myself time to 'have a go' at new processes, one of which has been incorporating linocut into my work and I'm really happy with the results. I've been combining it with my painted/penciled/stencilled areas and I love the variety of textures I can get from it alongside my regular combinations. </p><p>This is the most recent work.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGqHNBlH0335BC8sxDzRLBCpADE6D5Lps6UZXx80j9u3U_2bU2kklED3CojJHU5XpGuc-SwilpwWp2SSpiFvQd-zUFWp68gmjZ8LaA5oWwHgAyRuBzNpuxGbSpxYuzX-J5gx4pdiPbj894hxBUebQeE2yktFZGxDDsr9UD0HV1omcShqV3Im_zR5GS/s1500/sea-creature-website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1215" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGqHNBlH0335BC8sxDzRLBCpADE6D5Lps6UZXx80j9u3U_2bU2kklED3CojJHU5XpGuc-SwilpwWp2SSpiFvQd-zUFWp68gmjZ8LaA5oWwHgAyRuBzNpuxGbSpxYuzX-J5gx4pdiPbj894hxBUebQeE2yktFZGxDDsr9UD0HV1omcShqV3Im_zR5GS/w324-h400/sea-creature-website.jpg" width="324" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The sea creatures were created from the linocut and then I've used a combination of acrylic paint, coloured pencils and oil pastels to create the plants and shapes.

Over the last few months I've been working away creating images, just taking my time and not putting too much pressure on myself to post anything until I am ready to do so. It has meant being more relaxed with my social media (not that I was every an avid poster really) and I feel ok with that. I know lots of people have been doing the same thing and feeling a similar way too. It does mean I have collected a few images together, many of which will never be seen by anyone other than me, and it's been a great time for me to experiment and really make what I fancy. So it's been a very enjoyable time work-wise. Some of those images have now become new items which I've put into my shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">SharonFarrowArt</a> and I want to share those with you. </p><p>First up are some Giclee art prints. The idea behind these illustrations was to give a positive vibe and message. I love incorporating text into my work, and the text used in these images was inspired by music I've been listening to, things that were happening personally to me at the time, and in the general goings on of life. I feel that the words are open enough to be interpreted in anyway that relates to you personally. I also experimented with adding linocut areas on some of these designs. I always have a lot of fun creating textures but lino helps me to get an even coating of colour in some areas, whilst still providing subtle texture, I like that contrast. I had a lot of fun (and made a lot of mess, always a bonus)!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcK5srIXMgwqOGfmpKNGvmI8k1OMvSnLfxvEjYI8ybWfM1R43B9b2X7TxrnRfsQEtCOcI4LY_avDeu8P4x8qJoGdvP46uj-NWxdGSlcqzAsSdCMvJHObULmnvhJDW84WO1JAYGAfQyltY8pkBQHDOQmnqOjVSBIPyIAW-FOcMO-sYCBTcsoAGvGq6x/s2100/peacocks-feather.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="2100" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcK5srIXMgwqOGfmpKNGvmI8k1OMvSnLfxvEjYI8ybWfM1R43B9b2X7TxrnRfsQEtCOcI4LY_avDeu8P4x8qJoGdvP46uj-NWxdGSlcqzAsSdCMvJHObULmnvhJDW84WO1JAYGAfQyltY8pkBQHDOQmnqOjVSBIPyIAW-FOcMO-sYCBTcsoAGvGq6x/w400-h400/peacocks-feather.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkntRjjCrytLieLPnkGQGbvTKsponjqyC-EUmfH_P28Bbdtw629QfuQqexkBT5GwmLLJnNd1gLveSOPQTUGMV46uT1wz284MLL15cWBk2QF9D0nZ3Z1pvdeo5VagiCL0-CkQVb0wgybKkdnykwrT8d0f6gVQKrmNiN-PaLvSFclGl_STZqaOkfukE1/s2100/tiger%20angled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="2100" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkntRjjCrytLieLPnkGQGbvTKsponjqyC-EUmfH_P28Bbdtw629QfuQqexkBT5GwmLLJnNd1gLveSOPQTUGMV46uT1wz284MLL15cWBk2QF9D0nZ3Z1pvdeo5VagiCL0-CkQVb0wgybKkdnykwrT8d0f6gVQKrmNiN-PaLvSFclGl_STZqaOkfukE1/w400-h400/tiger%20angled.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJpkaFbIKg6YQqZDF1y_ndErppJm7_YwaAOCP50T2VIZZcvCGa96MCK6jjfv6Gfmx9655k0PJeOPBCHq7qEEWVeI9tYv85OagW_xdb2SrX2AVo654OuPGkrba-5cxB1A7C-ICbbkM1eLbWovDqkb4h3b3uYAgMtxz1HjZfVAe2CQhNL2J-C6WTGyhN/s2100/unicorn-full-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="2100" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJpkaFbIKg6YQqZDF1y_ndErppJm7_YwaAOCP50T2VIZZcvCGa96MCK6jjfv6Gfmx9655k0PJeOPBCHq7qEEWVeI9tYv85OagW_xdb2SrX2AVo654OuPGkrba-5cxB1A7C-ICbbkM1eLbWovDqkb4h3b3uYAgMtxz1HjZfVAe2CQhNL2J-C6WTGyhN/w400-h400/unicorn-full-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDUIqFmCx_PmkRagQc9QOfq_Wx4Vc1_8Ajbi4QGd5y6dwahlMXPCRseJQcmTtQ8kYaEkd7z7bXc1UE9_AKH90nNJ9rFEaAoGdgCV50ak2wueBmjC0SI2mMC0j06P3LigV1pw9TDK17sICCEJrYjr_o07t5iWUhXwenfJw32w3If2K3wERg-FdF4KE6/s2100/owl-full-palette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2100" data-original-width="2100" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDUIqFmCx_PmkRagQc9QOfq_Wx4Vc1_8Ajbi4QGd5y6dwahlMXPCRseJQcmTtQ8kYaEkd7z7bXc1UE9_AKH90nNJ9rFEaAoGdgCV50ak2wueBmjC0SI2mMC0j06P3LigV1pw9TDK17sICCEJrYjr_o07t5iWUhXwenfJw32w3If2K3wERg-FdF4KE6/w400-h400/owl-full-palette.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The unicorn and peacocks images are also available as small A6 cards.

It's lovely to have that face to face interaction with people.

I think I actually started it at the end of 2020, but I've worked on it on and off since then and it's now finally complete! I had an idea in my head for a while beforehand about creating a series of illustrations that would work together as a distinct set. I'd also had the idea about doing something around Greek mythology for a while. It's a subject I find interesting and I wanted to embark on a project where I would learn. I decided to create the images of the 12 main Olympian Gods. I thought this would be a project that would be achievable (12 illustrations), but also would be long and involved enough to be a challenge. I stopped and started many times, worked on other things in-between, almost threw in the towel on a number of occasions but I did persevere and I'm really happy I did. </p><p>I set a few style and image parameters from the start. Each illustration would feature the full length figure and would include some of their attributes drawn in black and white. I wanted a uniform colour palette and I wanted it to link to the ancient pots, vases and plates which I always loved looking at from museum trips and photographs, so I chose rich red brown and yellow ochre/raw sienna to be the accompanying colours. </p><p>I'm really happy with how they've turned out. I haven't done too much figure drawing over the past years so that was something I was keen to work on and was another part of the challenge. I spent a lot of time especially early on, going back and forth abandoning images and re-creating them, but I definitely found once I'd created a few more finished illustrations I got into my flow, (as tends to happen) and I started to speed up and see consistency in the images. I hope you enjoy my take on a selection of the Greek Gods! Here they are in no particular order :).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjwYFIbt0u2bY_yQplTHJBV8R9QXYFwuU5cexNz2aeiHlQAJDXukVX0IS3iIiinNoS4-nuOPrverNmUQ6kDYf3PG-FihceGhv_wB_HNi8RLuhbsLxpJch3xtJ6E4fkovc56YqelvD0gGPg2gCkXhWUGnfqkHGxUd1ZtGo_vivPyzfUUrwmIiufDnoFT=s3579" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I'm excited for what the year ahead will bring and I'm looking forward to getting started on some new work. One of the first things I'm planning to do is make some design changes to my website. I've wanted to do this for a while but I also know for me this can be quite a task! It's on the top of my list though so I am going to start on it soon. I'll let you know when it's complete. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Have a lovely rest of the week :).</div><br />Sharon Farrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490532319400526978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073000508508238556.post-42028191553383452872021-12-04T01:45:00.000-08:002021-12-04T01:45:31.626-08:00Illustrators' Fair<p> Hello!</p><p>I thought I'd give a quick update to let you know I'm participating in this years <a href="https://www.shoreditchdesigntriangle.com/events/the-illustrators-fair/" target="_blank">Illustrators' fair!</a> alongside some very talented illustrators.

They're available as single cards or as a pack of four and feature running reindeers surrounded by festive plants. I created the image using a combination of paints, coloured pencils and pens and used a limited palette of greens and blues with the odd pop of rich red. You can take a look <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGedb52B-1yXO1Ra0leSogVLw_H1KvfUaxFI3mdl7gkorbPm9YeV3xl8vOpiw-Fwy981fFd4U-Jz5nmrifq1OjjfsGaYfFHe1dHyNc9jzrCOFmJuPSaTJ7UCm8lfoVgSdTUqXZULT1zJo/s2048/4+NEW+pack+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGedb52B-1yXO1Ra0leSogVLw_H1KvfUaxFI3mdl7gkorbPm9YeV3xl8vOpiw-Fwy981fFd4U-Jz5nmrifq1OjjfsGaYfFHe1dHyNc9jzrCOFmJuPSaTJ7UCm8lfoVgSdTUqXZULT1zJo/w400-h400/4+NEW+pack+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also have other festive cards available to purchase.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtdOaq_n-BsyjfMG-xYsgoD1jY5jeCFHUx6D3cgeW7gAnxzyu0vi1FYsd9tp-OGXXfsHStbuO9nLSCODbiCa9QrOAVRMzG4RS7mYtM5Rdr1J8_X1WfHjAB0wy4oMg5ogfgaf2f6upg1eU/s2048/card+partridge+full+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtdOaq_n-BsyjfMG-xYsgoD1jY5jeCFHUx6D3cgeW7gAnxzyu0vi1FYsd9tp-OGXXfsHStbuO9nLSCODbiCa9QrOAVRMzG4RS7mYtM5Rdr1J8_X1WfHjAB0wy4oMg5ogfgaf2f6upg1eU/w394-h400/card+partridge+full+2.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy58KTaHmzOC7M19xUt91dDb2QoAmqrFq7xaaxynwiGIkJ3dFy7dBK9V4mb4tYo9GQy_c1BfMFNuEm5-1Cuhj1RViCZsojZqlc5IADdQ_cSgyB3rxVmX9eGlOa360iHxDNqv_T2QYmO4s/s2048/card+robins+full+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy58KTaHmzOC7M19xUt91dDb2QoAmqrFq7xaaxynwiGIkJ3dFy7dBK9V4mb4tYo9GQy_c1BfMFNuEm5-1Cuhj1RViCZsojZqlc5IADdQ_cSgyB3rxVmX9eGlOa360iHxDNqv_T2QYmO4s/w400-h400/card+robins+full+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These are all available alongside my prints, greetings cards, pocket mirrors, notebooks and a few festive tree ornaments. </div>I hope you're all doing well.

Sometimes I guess you just need to do what feels right at the time. Today I feel like the time is right for a little update. I won't go on though!</p><p>I've been working away creating new things and I've now got some new items up for sale in my Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt?" target="_blank">SharonFarrowArt</a>, so I thought I'd share those. </p><p>First up I've got some new Giclee prints. I've wanted to get some new designs printed up for a while and when they arrived from the printers I was delighted with how they look. The paper has a slight texture and a lovely feel, and the colours were just as I hoped. Two of the prints are nature themed and one is made up of a variety of vegetables. They are all A4 (297mmx210) in size.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinPuZHEU5cvuSohdADZiMIudp2yP1iGmMhIDlBY_ET0-hdr3HgxRe2C5Ii4xTXsQf2Oon1hbTimusmtbzPvO3O3-JJqf-Kqh2IWehn8gYQw60alRLerxHb3WpClvgmujCproKpQ_igbwI/s2048/frog+main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2033" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinPuZHEU5cvuSohdADZiMIudp2yP1iGmMhIDlBY_ET0-hdr3HgxRe2C5Ii4xTXsQf2Oon1hbTimusmtbzPvO3O3-JJqf-Kqh2IWehn8gYQw60alRLerxHb3WpClvgmujCproKpQ_igbwI/w398-h400/frog+main.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCDU4UQ8wsoM_pMxzKAqTJtSTdqajQSl1_mrnyPAUnACPmeKm0Met1adIkcKSxIqt9MQWXG9g2Ps-or3LlG8gUkJ2O9BvzmKkbpLaFOae89QjAeJ4JvV4jP4Hv7ueJO1pBvcBkAjFm5vY/s2048/seals+main+NEW.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCDU4UQ8wsoM_pMxzKAqTJtSTdqajQSl1_mrnyPAUnACPmeKm0Met1adIkcKSxIqt9MQWXG9g2Ps-or3LlG8gUkJ2O9BvzmKkbpLaFOae89QjAeJ4JvV4jP4Hv7ueJO1pBvcBkAjFm5vY/w400-h400/seals+main+NEW.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb-7DGIKsdrSPCAJQt9w-1Fhs441_fd5d_OR5FsM1-owTiFsP0fK2rpc1K5lgboCXUTieg-WLI-eTbPQ_gSSAEQKBkACIFuD1WyQHK2TvIigrh5fU9blYpDa_i7zBaukX2WGKhSuP_GFA/s2048/vegetables+main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb-7DGIKsdrSPCAJQt9w-1Fhs441_fd5d_OR5FsM1-owTiFsP0fK2rpc1K5lgboCXUTieg-WLI-eTbPQ_gSSAEQKBkACIFuD1WyQHK2TvIigrh5fU9blYpDa_i7zBaukX2WGKhSuP_GFA/w400-h400/vegetables+main.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also created a couple of new birthday card designs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxRDRkcLAopTkO-lXAENj401gRHGIypqflSUMZMwwSEYEN6q4OzZ_kBwcC2Av2EBwrIAzF-BfMdoe_WuLncmWczYYu3YeHCN3SETqUZiw7Vb_BEqb_s2jnt78TP2ULb6FfFbROj3_4MAg/s2048/unicorn+full+envelope.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxRDRkcLAopTkO-lXAENj401gRHGIypqflSUMZMwwSEYEN6q4OzZ_kBwcC2Av2EBwrIAzF-BfMdoe_WuLncmWczYYu3YeHCN3SETqUZiw7Vb_BEqb_s2jnt78TP2ULb6FfFbROj3_4MAg/w400-h400/unicorn+full+envelope.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnnOMBtnmFijCsUQzKc6VcxC1piqs10iUj7Xt7qcWPyISdke589rp_2gzX97D5fxJwghyV8Kr3JS7qR2L7VwskLJLXr_YxTShk3ohwCh7-mwBhVIL9hDp4amLoENlhtjudDb5lkZv3HuU/s2048/sunflower+birthday+held.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnnOMBtnmFijCsUQzKc6VcxC1piqs10iUj7Xt7qcWPyISdke589rp_2gzX97D5fxJwghyV8Kr3JS7qR2L7VwskLJLXr_YxTShk3ohwCh7-mwBhVIL9hDp4amLoENlhtjudDb5lkZv3HuU/w400-h400/sunflower+birthday+held.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Both of these cards are now available to buy with free UK delivery, hooray! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, that's a little shop update from me.

One of which was the <a href="https://www.vam.ac.uk" target="_blank">Victoria and Albert Museum</a>. This is one of my favourite museums to wander around in. At that time some galleries were closed but it didn't matter, I didn't have time to get around all that were open anyway. I knew I specifically wanted to look at tapestries on that particular visit, and that I could do. When I came home, I started sketching a few ideas for an illustration based on what I had seen and this is the final piece.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6F0vkDQCPLjHr4TcsDffGwHLPr6munvooP_ItdGI9El6_LJ5Fs_Pia3XSeU1D_veIrhWTo49Ug7lQOQhDY21Uq5-z9ko1aY3XCV-luIbihRNjkAZZ3eCCDNK0FxuBr5oLUGnAubrcwI/s1500/unicorn-sharon-farrow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1100" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6F0vkDQCPLjHr4TcsDffGwHLPr6munvooP_ItdGI9El6_LJ5Fs_Pia3XSeU1D_veIrhWTo49Ug7lQOQhDY21Uq5-z9ko1aY3XCV-luIbihRNjkAZZ3eCCDNK0FxuBr5oLUGnAubrcwI/w469-h640/unicorn-sharon-farrow.jpg" width="469" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I knew I wanted to feature a unicorn, and I also knew I would find them within the tapestries on display. That was my one 'rule,' I could only feature something I had seen in some form, but I was free to change it as I wished (I always like to give myself a few boundaries). I took a lot of inspiration from the beautiful wrought iron work on display (there is a pretty large collection there).<div>I do love wandering around museums and seeing all the amazing things they have on display. I love everything about it, the quietness, learning, and of course seeing all the beautiful crafted objects. A visit to any museum for me can really transport me somewhere else, and give me so much to think about.<br /><div>I had so much fun creating this and I have so many ideas have been sparked off in my head from what I saw, so there will be more to come I'm sure. With everything that is going on right now it was so good to escape into my own world of fantasy :). I hope you're all doing well.<br /><p><br /></p></div></div>Sharon Farrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10490532319400526978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073000508508238556.post-51980154315388054532020-10-22T01:05:00.003-07:002020-10-22T01:05:46.530-07:00New Christmas goodies<p>Hello,</p><p>I thought I'd do a quick shop update. I've added some new Christmas/Festive cards to my shop. I've got two new designs, both bird themed. I had such fun working on these, just as we had turned into autumn and the weather had started to change. The cards can be bought as singles or as a pack of four. I know it may seem a bit early but if you're someone who likes to get organised you can find them here at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">SharonFarrowArt</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe3pdKMmlI-NHg82gRi_1-qMaN0p-ToGz5RlJq9K7NhB_h2Cl0DDUJQkeDld50wlSnRxY-AMgv_O4x3deG1nN-ascNI7yuyvJue7nyM8n2QW89qPqmmgTShpEJ6Vu3UGX7U12oMLA1cM4/s2048/card+partridge+full+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2013" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe3pdKMmlI-NHg82gRi_1-qMaN0p-ToGz5RlJq9K7NhB_h2Cl0DDUJQkeDld50wlSnRxY-AMgv_O4x3deG1nN-ascNI7yuyvJue7nyM8n2QW89qPqmmgTShpEJ6Vu3UGX7U12oMLA1cM4/w394-h400/card+partridge+full+2.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0pjbqLtzDq4kse5cL03xIN5uf5pwJg-WOD8FDmMRlkv7UxDUMLPcju-4xQIcLibwSjpz-e7ZaGNhCoiomITPZZ_YIrQC97sEWsepKkljRE3jlJ67qMDIc_pG0VoV0Ror_cQBFEi51IEQ/s2048/card+robins+full+angled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0pjbqLtzDq4kse5cL03xIN5uf5pwJg-WOD8FDmMRlkv7UxDUMLPcju-4xQIcLibwSjpz-e7ZaGNhCoiomITPZZ_YIrQC97sEWsepKkljRE3jlJ67qMDIc_pG0VoV0Ror_cQBFEi51IEQ/w400-h400/card+robins+full+angled.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've also got lots of art prints, illustrated cards, pocket mirrors and more over in the shop if you're looking for other non seasonal goods. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's a lovely start to the day here today, blue sky and those lovely leaves that are beginning to golden are swaying gently in the breeze.

I've been spending today doodling away which has been rather nice. Autumn is very much here so I'm enjoying getting out all my cosy clothes and socks and drinking lots of tea! (nothing out of the ordinary there then!)</p><p>This week I updated my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop with some new products so I wanted to share them with you. I've now added small lined notebooks and pocket mirrors. I loved creating these designs.

It's Monday morning and it looks like it's going to be a nice sunny day! That always makes a good start to the week.
Yesterday I uploaded some more products to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt?" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop so I thought I'd tell you a bit about that today. I've added five new art prints including an Autumn themed print, some nature themed prints (including an owl print of course), and a fruit and vegetable print. They're printed on 400gsm silk card and are A5 in size so they could be used as a postcard or as a print for the home.<div>

I’m offering black and white portraits as I think they make lovely personal gifts. I’m hoping people will like them especially with Christmas coming up. We have all spent a lot more time at home this year after all. I’ve also added some pick and mix print selection bundles and a postcard set, so some bargains are available. I’ve got some new products coming soon which I’m very excited about and when they come I will post about that, promise! Also, if you’re really organised I’ve added my Christmas tree ornaments. These are hand painted with various patterns and each one is totally unique! So, if you’re a really early decorator or you’d like a gift for a friend in advance of decorating time a little bit of Christmas awaits.</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVhsy1AdjZ-FJOsZJXoIFV7ifEk2gpUTCdjopDUmX-5xg3Lab3JoB9egmPrErbomZvvT2TjTjeeSgZYX-IGfdW0Dkw-U2zfAM0Y6R07WE1VEmJqru_3apJrFJFA0jYXMMFVC4sejHDTGU/s2048/A3+house+full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVhsy1AdjZ-FJOsZJXoIFV7ifEk2gpUTCdjopDUmX-5xg3Lab3JoB9egmPrErbomZvvT2TjTjeeSgZYX-IGfdW0Dkw-U2zfAM0Y6R07WE1VEmJqru_3apJrFJFA0jYXMMFVC4sejHDTGU/w400-h400/A3+house+full.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSlcICkIPts9-lKFtI_iVKMnCugNkechs6JRsXcCkn7SkHXl7j4PcPVtQX0EuPy90R7D_dY9SHFo0GV_ZATS0AR3nIytSafwR9HiRNVxan1RQkaARZvWe7GLFNTlEAmQHtF7LuwZRDvD4/s2048/all+prints.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSlcICkIPts9-lKFtI_iVKMnCugNkechs6JRsXcCkn7SkHXl7j4PcPVtQX0EuPy90R7D_dY9SHFo0GV_ZATS0AR3nIytSafwR9HiRNVxan1RQkaARZvWe7GLFNTlEAmQHtF7LuwZRDvD4/w400-h300/all+prints.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6tNsHPOpzc_MJSro0-00qStmkJTTUZPf0C7Yh-WUBp6_YoEPlfin_qt2KAeDZQkXDdCst7ed2djzTyYxGOoOFHoGbxRaxxooO5zHIyy4eAyapudE0ztQm3nesi_vUkXCuvYXdQg40wY/s2048/all+postcards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1692" data-original-width="2048" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6tNsHPOpzc_MJSro0-00qStmkJTTUZPf0C7Yh-WUBp6_YoEPlfin_qt2KAeDZQkXDdCst7ed2djzTyYxGOoOFHoGbxRaxxooO5zHIyy4eAyapudE0ztQm3nesi_vUkXCuvYXdQg40wY/w400-h330/all+postcards.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px;"><br /></p>

I went to Norfolk/Suffolk and spent my time going out for lovely long walks every day I was there. It was so good to see my family again and spend a good chunk of time with them. I really feel refreshed and I definitely needed to get away. I was so lucky with the weather too. It was really sunny and warm so it meant every time I got to the coast I got to spend a long time paddling in the sea which for me is a total joy :).</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);

<br />
The start of another (so far, sunny) week. It is always nice when Monday begins with sunshine. <br />
I hope everyone is keeping well. Today I'm going to share a couple of recent things I've done. The first is I've added some products to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SharonFarrowArt" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>. There is now a range of cards (birthday, thank you, any occasion,) and prints on a variety of themes. There's nature, London and wildlife. Here's a little selection :-<br />

Last week I also was very kindly featured on the <a href="https://www.feastnorfolkmagazine.co.uk/features/sharon-farrow/" target="_blank">Feast Norfolk Magazine</a> website. They did a little interview about me, my work and of course food! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm guzzling down coffee as I write this, keeping it brief. I hope you're all having a good start to the week and I'll be back soonish with more of my goings on. </div>

<br />
I know it's been an age since I last wrote a post, but I think we all know the world is a bit of strange place at the moment so I had a bit of a gap. I'm going to try to get back on posting more regularly from now on though, let's see how it goes!<br />
I'm not going to gabble on for too long. I have been working away on a few different projects since I was last here and the one I'm going to share today is some illustrations I did for Waitrose food magazine. They were for the Everyday Food section of an illustrated special and it was the the July edition which is out now. <br />

It was great to work on this as it was a lovely big juicy commission, and it kept my mind active as we were right in the middle of the lockdown. Also at the time it was really warm and sunny, that's definitely all disappeared at the moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, I'm going to leave it there today. I will be back with more soon. I hope if you're reading this that you're staying safe and remaining positive. I know that can be extremely tough some days. Please take care and be kind to yourselves xx</div>

It's a rainy morning here in London...again! Still, March is almost here so I am confident that will mean things are on the up. I can spy a lovely array of spring flowers from my window out in the garden, and that's always a highlight for me at this time of year. When it stops raining I will pop out to pay them a visit. <br />
I wanted to share a recent personal piece I completed of some London 'things'. It comes as no surprise that I do love drawing iconic London buildings and bits and pieces. There is such a wealth to draw from, and many places I've drawn a lot, Tower Bridge is a prime example ;). I feel I know it very well now! When you live in such an impressive city with so much history it is tempting to take it for granted, but I still get awestruck when walking around, crossing the Thames and so on. I still will make many more drawings of London, there are always ideas pulsing away in my head, but for now here's the latest.<br />

I made a lot of preparatory sketches which I then copied and scaled up and down until I was happy with the composition. In the end I removed the purple and used brown as the additional colour, I wanted mainly to use red, blue, black and white. </div>
