Crystal Dress

Tribute to Pastel

Admittedly, I haven't really been channeling the pastel trend on myself this season... I wouldn't be the first fashion student to claim having an allergy to bright colours. Saying that, I appreciate baby tones from afar, like on this pastel-clad model on a current Armani advert.

Back to Being Scribs

  

I haven't really drawn 'for the sake of it' much recently... not that I would ever say I preferred writing my dissertation, ergh. Anyway, FINALLY after organizing future plans, planning my Final Collection, a bunch of commissions, and a disgusting long essay, I got some time to drink(down) some wine and draw for no other reason but out of enjoyment.

When everything you do day to day revolves around 'making something' it's so easy to forget that it really is meant to be a hobby as well as a supposed career path. I will post a few more of these illustrations-without-a-cause throughout the week or so.

Collette and Paul's Wedding 23rd Dec 2011

It was lovely to get the opportunity to illustrate a wedding so close to Christmas! Collette and Paul made sure it was a festive event to remember, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.." could be heard from the church during their beautiful and very merry service.

The interior was adorned with candles and christmas trees; the reception served delicious mulled wine and of course, plenty of champagne. The food was delicious, the caterers were always attentive and guests were very welcoming.

Congratulations to Collette and Paul, I'm sure they will have a very happy, long-lasting, and fun-loving marriage! They were great hosts, and it was a privilege to illustrate their wedding day.

Here is a selection of the drawings I did on the day.
