Pushing Pixels
When I get cabin fever, I either move furniture around or redesign my website. Three guesses what I did this week (and the first two don't count). You can see more, here.
Mia's Ballerinas
Remember those skirts I was talking about making this past fall?
Well, I finally finished them this weekend (blush). I printed the fabric through Spoonflower and used Oliver + S's free Lazy Days skirt pattern, minus the ribbon.
And speaking of Spoonflower, I updated the sidebar so you can find my designs over there, if you're so inclined.
Candlemas Bells
At the moment:
* I'm listening to Bryan Ferry's The Jazz Age. Repeatedly.
* Reading Sir Gawain and The Green Knight.
* Becoming moderately obsessed with these ginger spice cookies.
* And am working on book sketches, a Valentine's printable and avoiding contact with the polar vortex outside my door.
And you?
Make Do and Mend
They sure don't make 'em like they used to, no siree.
And if you're eagle-eyed, you can spot this little illustration in the newest issue of Uppercase Magazine (which is a mighty fine publication, by the by).
Orange You Glad
Satsumas were on sale at the grocery store, so I bought a few. And for the rest of the week, orange hues kept popping up everywhere.
And in non-orange related matters, I'm putting together a FAQ post about illustration (in general) and digital workflows (specifically). If there's anything you'd like me to touch on in said post, feel free to holler at me in the comments!
"Put another pin in your hat, Dot. You're in for a fast ride"
I just started watching "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries," which inevitably means drawing the eponymous Miss Fisher. Aside from the historical glosses (ahem, pants) Phryne's a cracker jack detective, DI Robinson is an A+ straight man and I'm pretty sure Dot and I would be BFF's in another lifetime.
And before I forget, the second installment in the Oh My Godmother series, The Magic Mistake is out in a few weeks! Speaking of which, if you're in the mood to win a signed, hardcover copy of said book, I'd get a move on over to Goodreads for a giveaway, ASAP.
