Dickensian Festival, Bridlington 2013.

This weekend it was lovely to be back home and have my work exhibit in my home town of Bridlington. I did completely forget that the stall was outside but I braved the cold until the evening rain came down. 

It was fantastic to see lots of local faces out for the Bridlington Dickensian Festival. The high street in the historic old town of Bridlington was full of lovely stalls and families enjoying the afternoon. Although windy my stall managed to stay intact, it was lovely as I was opposite the Alex May Gallery which also represent me and my work in Bridlington, along with other local artists.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get many photographs from the day as I didn't dare get my hands out my pockets as it was so cold. I am really enjoying these Christmas fairs. I will let you know how my next one goes, which is infact today! 

Busy Busy Bee!

Hello everyone! Well we are into September! Eeek! I feel like I have so much to do in order to get ready for Christmas. I have recently left one of my three part time jobs I had for Summer. I was a bit tired but so excited to get on with some more creative work and giving all my spare energy into Lauren Cherice Designs. I do not know how I managed to have three jobs and my own business. Definitely deserve some drawing time! 

So... what better way than to start with some drawings. This week I did this quick little sketch of some boxing hares. I wasn't sure how they would turn out as I have never drawn anything with movement in before. I don't think they have turned out too bad. Maybe not as detailed as some of my other drawings. 

I have also been think about it being Christmas in the coming months, therefore I drew this robin. I have drawn a robin before but he looked rather angry and he didn't have much character to him. I am more pleased with this second attempt. I added a little colour to his chest to make him a full robin red breast :)

I have also been thinking about new repeat designs. This little arrangement is also a tote bag idea. The image above shows the work in progress but the design is coming together. I shall keep you posted!

Finally, meet my Penguin friend. Unfortunately in this picture he doesn't have any feet yet but I can assure you he does! Mr Penguin will be one of my new designs for Christmas 2013 but will also join his friends Mr Duck and Mr Owl by being in my Giclee print collection. I am also quite please with how he has turned out. I've certainly got the drawing bug at the moment... what shall I draw next!

A Little Drawing Week.

I have been very eager to do some drawing this week. After finishing the drawing of Dylan I think it gave me the 'drawing bug'... I just didn't want to put my pen down!

I love drawing birds and animals along with foliage. I am eager to create some new designs for this year. I already have my first one with the foxglove design (seen in an earlier post) I just need to get my print table sorted so I can do repeat prints. 

I think my next step is to do more drawing and get designing! 

Hope you like these ones so far!
