Brighton wonderland & ghostly girls ♡

Afternoon lovelies! Hope you've all had magical weekends! The last few weeks feel like a bit of a whirlwind of getting everything sorted and settled back in Brighton as I mentioned in my previous post!

New things are starting to appear in my shop though : MY ETSY <3

My room is now feeling a lot more like home & I feel properly back into my illustrating! Thought I'd do a little post with a glimpse into my world :) & a few of my newest little drawings of ghostly forest girls I'm working on. If you follow me on instagram @rosepetaldeer you might have seen some of it already <3

I love to surround myself with everything that inspires me so my room is always a continually developing big pink collage of taped up prettiness :)

Me & Tigerlilly Rose <3 My favourite thing I brought back from Tokyo...

The puff here was from a super cute little shop in Brighton, me and my housemates have since discovered how to make them and gone puff making crazy! I'll post a bit about our little house soon so you can see :)

  Pencil ghost girls..

Hope you like! Follow me on twitter @rosepetaldeer or Instagram for more of my pink and sparkly world! I love chatting to new people! Have lovely evenings! Lots of love! x x x x

Alice & Other Tales & Things ♡

So Today I ventured up to Liverpool to visit the Alice in Wonderland exhibition before it finished. In being an ma-haaasive alice lover myself I had high expectations & excitement before I even got there..and well..I was blown away! If you get chance before it finishes this week...goooo quickly & soak up some of it's magic!...


There was everything from the original manuscripts, tons of various copies of the book (lots old and with absolutely gorgeous delicate illustrations), Lewis Caroll's photography...and his camera! and so much incredibly art by the biggest variety of artists all sharing the spirit and themes of one of my favourite tales. The range and beauty of the art there was insane, it all felt like a huge cloud of dreamy inspiration.


Here's a cute little section of the gorgeous display in the shop...(there were cakes suspended from the ceiling ! !)..

I've been really getting into re reading old (and new) fairytales recently, namely 'Alice Through the needles eye' & 'Grimm's Fairytales' & watching tons of old disney films (: I've been working on some princesses and fairytales bits as I've mentioned in previous posts, so thought it was about time to post a few pictures...! Here's Snow White...

 aaaaand a little fairy castle and sleeping beauty....

            


more to come soon...hope you've all had wonderful Saturdays...lots of love!
