The Sketchbook Project 2012

Sketchbooks for the 2012 Sketchbook Project have to be post marked by 31st January and I've finished just in time!......phew.
The theme I chose was TREE HOUSE.


I've always loved the idea of living in a tree house in one of those amazing Morton Bay Fig Trees with the crazy big roots.  It would be like living in "The Faraway Tree" (but with all the mod-cons, of course).

Morton Bay Fig Tree, Sydney

  Anyway.... below are the little artworks that went into my sketchbook.  I love using ink and making mixed media collages.  I like gathering up all sorts of bits and bobs - that on their own might not be that interesting, but put them together make and they make something unique.

Trafalgar's Square

Today I came across the most gorgeous illustrations I have ever seen!  Theses adorable watercolours are the creation of Kit Chase of Trafalgar's Square.  You can buy these and many other super cute prints at her Esty store here. 

Sooooo cute Kit - what beautiful inspiration! X
