Hectic November

It's been such a busy month! I had loads to do and it all pretty much fell on different days so it meant i could indeed do everything...which was good....but so tiring! I now refer to my sleeping bag as 'ham' because of how it looked when i tired it all up with wool in a tight roll!

Seems i spent a great deal of it travelling! London twice, bath, leeds....

Lots of conventions i was a part of too. I makes me laugh how many times i saw the same people at them! It was funny talking to people and being oh okay, so now we're in leeds....

A very fun month though, meet lots of brilliant people and got lots of cool stuff as well as getting to sell some of my own.

First up was MCM EXPO in london, my collective...The Whatnot Tree...went. SO. MANY.MY LITTLE PONIES.

 Then i went to man my university's the Pittville Press stand at Comica's Comiket also in London the next weekend...

 Then it was time for my personal favourite with The Whatnot Tree again, Thought Bubble in Leeds!

Our table there was really good, better than i had expected to get, we had so much space! As well as wall space for our prints, which usually get buried.

Thought bubble was really fun and i got to go to a lot of interesting talks and meet up with good friends as well.

Since last time, this is a sketchblog after all, i've done quite a bit of life drawings at these various events....

And of course the rest of my time has been going on uni projects!

Thanks for reading!

I've Been Busy...

Hi!
The panic set in this week about how much stock i need to make since The Whatnot Tree (the crafting trio i'm in) are booked into two (eek) large conventions this autumn! I wanted to see how long it took to make some of the creatures i make in batch.
It actually doesn't take too long. I spent two day solid making stuff, the only problem is after those two days i needed a break! So i think my plan now is gonna be little and often rather than mad panic then do no more for a week. I think it'll be less stressful that way hopefully!

I made 8 Macot Mice, 9 (so now i have 13) Snish Owl brooches and a large Snish Owl pillow! After i was covered in clay, felt, thread and varnish...Here are some progress shots...

The hand that creates mice...

Making my brooches in batch...

  I watched about 30 episodes of the simpsons while i worked!

The finishing touches...

Ready to be stuffed :)

 I'll be back with finished stock pics when i've got a larger collection :D The Whatnot Tree are having a craft day together tomorrow, so hopefully that'll be sooner rather than later!

Thanks for Reading!

Have a good week!

Montpellier Midsummer Fiesta!

I'm Back!

Just a short post with a few photos of the craft fair we did at the weekend just gone...
It was the Midsummer Fiesta in our university's town. I really enjoyed the day despite not making much money and having two really heavy downpours throughout the day! We packed up a 6pm but it went on till 10pm with more bands and with the fun fair. It was a really good laugh and the bands after we were done on the stalls were brill (seen them alllll before :D) It was great that we could stay to enjoy and relax after working there all day.

Shortest distance to carry all our stock to our table ever!!

I thought our stand was the best one we had done yet, sporting our lovely new bunting we all made the day before!

By the time we had the packed away the second heavy rain shower had stopped and the evening was actually quite a lovely one as we sat and enjoyed live bands and pizza :)

Okays, that's all for now. I really need to try finish some of the many items of work i have started!!

Have a brilliant week! and hope it doesn't rain for me, i'll be in a soggy tent in a muddy field otherwise...hahah
