Comic fun times

A while back I did a comic about a friend of mine who is a bit introverted and likes to be left to her own devices where possible. I was struck by the desire to draw her as a slightly dangerous dinosaur type thing. This idea turned into a comic. Enjoy!

Sunglasses

Recently I had a holiday in Canada. As I flew from Heathrow Airport, I got a chance to look at some beautiful designer sunglasses. After trying on my favourites, I realised that you can really see the difference in quality when compared to the cheap sunglasses found in most stores. Also, the designs were different and varied, allowing me the opportunity to pick something that suited my style and fit my face.

 Prada's Minimal Baroque collection, DOLCE & GABBANA Sicilian Baroque

These are just a few of the pairs that I tried on and unfortunately I didn't take any photos of me wearing them but it really made me wish I could afford a pair! Especially when they are cheaper behind checkin.

Anyway, a few days ago I remembered that ASOS do a pretty good selection of sunglasses that are definitely in my price range! Here are my favourites:

 


Once I have shortlisted I will let you know!

I got there in the end! With some tears, wine and sweat, I now have made my first pair of gloves \o/ I hate lace! I'm sure it will grow on me though...

Lessons of the day are: Make both sides at the same time so you don't end up with 2 lefts and remember my camera!

OODC #1

First one day dress challenge for me! I am starting with something small, a pair of black fingerless gloves. This is me and my puzzled look as I figure out my own pattern!


What could you make in a day?

Sometimes She...

It took me a while to figure out a name for this blog. But I think it sums up my life pretty well. Sometimes I am brave, sometimes not. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way about life. Anyway, I have always been an odd individual with the desire to stand out as interesting and memorable, yet I am also incredibly insecure alot of the time. This makes for a constant war over my self image. I have battled with being larger than is considered beautiful for a substantial portion of my life and have only just started to accept that it doesn't need to get in the way of who I want to be. So sometimes I feel brave and do something that feels right, even though it's scary.

Wearing: Purple vest - Evans, Black leggings - New Look, Leather Zebra print belt - Cambridge Market Leather belts stall, Boots - Evans
