A Little Tote Bag Commission!

I can now share with you a special commission for someone's special 13th birthday. I couldn't before as it was a surprise. I thought I would use this design of mine which I love. The majority of my tote bags are all single colour prints at the moment. Although I would love layering different colours with more time. Because this was a special gift I took my time to produce this in a three colour print tote bag.

You may have seen these little hearts below before. These are from my love birds tote and I used these to add a little special detail on the opposite side of the main print.

And there we are. The finished tote ready for ironing and wrapping :)

Another Commission... Sandy the Rabbit.

I was asked by a close friend to draw her beloved rabbit Sandy. We all know if we've had a pet how close you get to them. I was very nervous to draw Sandy and hoped I caught his character. Once I got drawing I began to relax and enjoy the drawing process. I thought I would start with drawing his eyes as these are always tricky and also make the person/animal who they are. (And come alive).

Next I started with the outer body shape and then working in detail of his furr. I love drawing on tracing paper with biro. I love the tones the biro creates on tracing paper. It's definitely my favourite media to use.

And here we are. All ready to wrap for Amy. I am pleased to say she loved Sandy. I was very pleased with the finished result. So much I wanted to keep him :)
