Autumn

Autumn, I think you're my favourite season. The other day I was going for a walk looking at the Autumn leaves and I found this house with brightly coloured Easter eggs in among the leaves...

Doily bird

A little sketch I did last night. Thanks for your lovely doilies Agnes Curran.

Open for business!

My Felt and Etsy shops are officially open for business! At the moment I've got gocco prints in them; I will also be listing gocco printed patches and other goodies. The Felt shop is called Miss Crow, the Etsy one is called Millicent Crow. You can get to them by clicking on the buttons to your right. Whew, I feel like I should be smashing a bottle of champagne against the computer! You know, like you smash a bottle of champagne against a boat when you name it...

Colourful

Not a lot of drawing round here this week...again. So I thought I'd show you some colourful pictures I took in Onehunga. The second one is from an amaaazing haberdashery shop where the walls are all covered in sequinned motifs & patches...




I think a day in Onehunga always feels like a holiday.

Royalty

Don't have a lot to show this week - I've been busy setting up my Felt and Etsy shops...more on that soon! So lots of administration & no drawing. But I was making a cake for a friend's birthday and noticed all the royal family themed things in my kitchen, so I thought I'd show off some of those...

Silver Jubilee mug




Commemorative teaspoons:



Charles & Di tea tin
And somewhere round the house I've got a little coronation plate. I reckon that counts as another collection!

New prints

I've been busy printing all day today & the house is now covered in prints of these folk. I'm thinking about calling them, from top to bottom: Gertrude, Prudence, Henry & Esmerelda. Good old-fashioned names.

Collections

As well as green cardigans and old photos, I have lots of other collections. Another thing I collect is green china that looks like it's made out of leaves. Now that's pretty specific!







Sometimes there are casualties. Like this one that got smashed by a cat that jumped through our window.

I'll put up some more photos of my collections over the next few days, even though realising how many things I collect will probably be a bit scary!
