Pink Cotton Candy Wonderland♡

Thought I'd share some favourite February (and all time) inspirations & things I'm forever obsessed with straight from the wonderland ...

♡

From Top Left: Top Row: Charlotte Free & her dreamy style & ever changing pink hair (a girl after my own heart), The Virgin Suicides Photography Stills book (been trying for over 4 years to get a copy and its so rare, but sometimes catch glimses of its gorgeous contents on blogs & fall in love all over again), Pink haired Blythes..I am forever a Blythe super fan and these ladies will always come tops!..


Second Row: A sneaky peak at a very special Marie Antoinette illustration I've been working on for a very lovely lady (you'll find out more soon!), The Pastel Hair spread from Lula magazine a few years ago, I continually look at it and wish I could have every colour and float around in fairy space like the pretty girls in the pictures, Miniature Carousels! (SO dreamy!!)


Third Row: Lana Del Rey in her Vogue Spread March Vogue 2012, I've loved her since the moment I first heard her, I don't care if she's massive and tons of people hate her for silly reasons, at the end of the day I think she's beautiful inside and out and her voice is just delightful, Wild fox new collection & collaboration with Jeffrey Campbell...ballet platforms and long floaty pastel lilac skirts..my wish list is forever growing!! So perfect! ♡, Miniature cakes and dollhouse things! I need to get a dollhouse & start collecting it's all so gorgeous! 


Fourth row: Sleeping beauty, forever inspiring and my most favourite princess fairytale of all, Louis Vuitton S/S 12, Candy colours, ice cream and a fashion show where they all rode on a giant carousel...stuff of dreams! & lastly, unicorns, they are always a big feature in my imagination, and I love drawing them..fantastic excuse to always get the glitter out! They also remind me of one of my favourite 90's films 'The last unicorn'. 


I managed to finally get my hair to the cotton candy shade I wanted today tooo - yay! 


& Some new prints I've previously posted about are now available in my shop! ...Rose Petal Deer Shop


Hope your all having lovely weekends! Lots of Love x x x

Be my Candy Woodland Lover ♡

Hello my lovelies! Been meaning to post for a while but been super busy the past two weeks doing work experience at the wonderful get a grip (http://getagripstudio.com/blog.html) in Digbeth Birmingham.

 They set me a little task of collaborating with them to design a tea towel, which I absolutely loved doing!, I went for a woodland candy theme, to match my own current designing's & hopefully to create something perfect for this time of year of (almost) springtimes and loved up valentines pastel coloured times! 

You can read some things about it & watch a little stop animation of it being printed on their blog, & here's a few photos!...

The candy colour mixing process...it looked like giant pots of tasty marsh mellow sugary goodness, we were all almost thinking about eating it!...

Silk screen ready, set up & raring to go...!..

& the tea towels...piling up post printing! So much candy woodlandness!...

You can buy the Tea Towel on the Get a Grip Website..there's a very limited amount as we did a print run of 15! They are available for £9....

Hope your all having nice relaxing weekends! So far mine's involved lots of thai food and watching Vicky, Christina, Barcelona..a woody allen film from a few years back, which way exceeded my expectations!..but then I love Scarlett Johansson, always a beaut! Plan this evening's going to involve lots of cups of tea and general chilling I think!
