J'adore


My submission for a cover illustration for a set of love poems. My inspiration was this lovely picture of the ever beautiful Audrey Tatou I hand drew and painted all the flowers and leaves then cut out to produce in the similar style to this portrait of my Grandma. I'm loving using the little roses like this right now. The media I have used is a variety of coloured pencils, graphic fine liner art pen and watercolour paints.

The idea is that she is daydreaming about love, with that cheeky glisten in her eye, blushing cheeks and rouge lips. She pretty much sums up all those feelings you have when you find that one person and fall in love... aaaaaw! The winner gets picked on the 5th of Novemeber which is my birthday, so that would be a lovely present now wouldn't it!

All that's left of PFW... and then some




Yes, I'm really squeezing every drip of my Paris trip. This is the very last, and how could I not share it when it brings back so many fun memories (and takes me back to when temperatures didn't require any knitwear)
  
1) Me and Zina
2) Beautiful buildings everywhere
3) This girl looked like she walked right out of a Chanel ad
4) The crowd inside at V&R
5) You haven't been to Paris unless you visited the bakeries (Yes, that pretzel makes me happy)
6) Ra13 party
7) Getting my picture taken for a magazine
8) Random street scene
9) Love making new blogger friends!
10) Daphne Groeneveld walking at Viktor & Rolf
11) Sabrina's shoes
12) Emilie's bag matched my shirt
13) Me at Tuileries
