Art Diary Blog Post- 18th November 2025 - Weave
I joined in Inktober this year using my dog Poppy as a muse for the prompts they put out. Here is my ink drawing of Poppy with a pumpkin jumper on and leaning up against a Halloween Jack-o-lantern 🎃 pumpkin for the prompt Weave. I thought this would be sweet and give a nod to the season.

Art Diary Blog Post- 17th November 2025 - Oat & Jam
Here is some of my work from the Make Art That Sells ‘Lettering Bootcamp 2025’ course that I am doing. The Pip & Nut font we were given as a source, and then we had to write Oat &Jam in a similar style. I thought it would be a good name for a jammy flapjack brand making fresh flapjacks for sale in paper packaging. I love plastic free products 😀.

A sketch of a palette with paint characters on it, this was drawn with crayons as part of Lilla Roger’s style play prompts for September. I enjoyed giving the paints different expressions inspired by their colour.

Art Diary Blog Post - 10th November 2025 - Love is Love
Here is some of my work from the Make Art That Sells ‘Lettering Bootcamp 2025’ course that I am doing. The Queer font we were given as a source, and then we had to write Love is Love in a similar style. I like the colour combination I used to create Love is Love, the colours and style reminds me of those Love Hearts sweets that have cute little messages on them. I really liked this retro style and hope to use it again.

Art Diary Blog Post - 31st October 2025 - Her
Here is some of my work from the Make Art That Sells ‘Lettering Bootcamp 2025’ course that I am doing. The chocolate coated cherries font we were given as a source, and then we had to write Her in a similar style. I like the colour combination I used to create Her and the art deco feel of the letters and the design.

Art Diary Blog Post - 30 October 2025 - High Heels Card
I created this colourful card for my sister and for a September drawing challenge by Lilla Rogers. I used crayons to draw it and pen for some of the text. I enjoyed creating a chunky platform shoe with stripy tights, and having fun with the text to go with the design. I did lots of swirly and curly writing in pen and I did more chunky text for Happy Birthday, with a shadow on one side.

Art Diary Blog Post- 19th October 2025 - Traffic
Here is some of my work from the Make Art That Sells ‘Lettering Bootcamp 2025’ course that I am doing. The Tab and Sprite font we were given as a source, and then we had to letter Traffic in a similar style. I wanted to add a few icons like a stop sign 🛑 for the i dot, a traffic light in the C and a little car above R. I framed it with some double yellow lines for a fun touch.

I created this colourful card for a friend’s 60th birthday. I used crayons and had fun doodling hearts and flowers in the 60.
