in the making...

I've been working on a few projects so I've been all over the place lately (went to bed at 4:30 am last night! a new record!). I am a very bad blogger, I am aware of that, but I will try harder to post things here and on Instagram more often, so this is my first attempt!

Some of the (personal) things I'm working on, include a comic/diary that it's been incredibly fun to plan and draw! the technicalities of it, on the other hand, such as paper size and editing the layout it's been a bit stressful! Hopefully I will share the first strip next week!

ok, this is a photo of me and my ghostly friends going down the stairs. Bye! :D

walking down memory lane

Card Captor Sakura brings me lots of memories. It's so lovely, everyone should watch it! (has a 8.0 IMDb score!).  It just soothes me for some reason. I love the "secret no so secret" message in it that tells you to find "your courage" when things are getting tough, and that you can achieve things that you thought you couldn't.  

I must confess that I have the Clow Book and Cards (not my image, though), and I was about 15 but I used to play with them... I also used to believe that I could tell the future by using them (and oddly enough, several thing did happen!...). I also must confess that I really want this but I think that I wouldn't be able to wear it lots so probably won't order it any time soon :(

I found this old drawing at my mom's, can't remember how old it is, if I used an image for reference or what, but anyway, here it is. 


And this is a drawing from this morning. I am so jealous of her hair haha
And this is the ending of the first season (I think).  Isn't lovely?! *_*

Jane, the fox and me

I've been feeling pretty bad recently (mentally and physically) so decided to treat myself with something I've been wanting for AGES.

When I first saw this book I was like: "oh no, this is going to be pretty similar to my fox girl story, I'm sure! :(". Fortunately enough, it wasn't :D, so I am happy that I can still work on it!. Can't believe it's been a year already since I started with this idea/project! Hopefully next year it will become a book!. Anyway, back to the main topic of this entry...

I am a sucker for Isabelle Arsenault illustrations, so when I saw the book in Waterstones I couldn't resist.

This is always a good way to start the day

The book was written by Fanny Britt. I don't want to say to much about the story (don't want to ruin it for you, just in case you are planning on buying it) but let's say that it's a story about a girl who's going through a rough time and spends to much time in her head. 

This reminds me when my mom used to sew. Once she even made me a yukata.

The book is really lovely. The way Isabelle Arsenault uses color (not depicted here because it's kinda part of the story, don't want to be responsible for any spoilers or anything like that!) is really clever. Also, her illustrations look so moody (in a good way) clean and nice yet effortless... I am so jealous! I really love her work. And the story is really sweet :)

Now a photo of me and Moomin, just because he wanted to say hi.

(hi)
Have a nice day! x

My Etsy Shop is finally open!

After months, and months of hesitation/lack of time, I have finally ticked opening my Etsy Shop off the list :)

I am just starting (I have listed only 3 items so far) but everything is a £1 or less!

I am very, very new at this, but I hope to get the grasp of it very soon! So please have a look if interested! :) Etsy shop, this way!


In the making

Adventure Time, always Adventure Time


Final thing!
