Well this last week has gone, yet again, in a flas

Well this last week has gone, yet again, in a flash! And focus on my work has been minuscule. I can't help thinking my productivity is waning. Not for the want of trying. This whole school term has been one looooong one. I think the school holidays will definitely revive some of my energy. Of course things will still be restricted, but at least there won't be the role of teacher to fulfil. Sigh...⁠
.⁠
But until then, I wish you all a lovely weekend x⁠

(Here is Simba getting all the attention 😍)⁠

The connections between humans and animals can nev

The connections between humans and animals can never be underestimated. Especially children and animals. It is something I want to explore more through my illustrations and help to encourage.⁠
.⁠
I am loving working in this way at the moment. Using the pencil line to create detail but also simplicity... and experimenting with merging them together. In some way visually showing the similarity between human and animal, but also the difference that needs to be respected.⁠
.⁠
I was trusted with experimenting in this way, for this commission. And it was really well received... phew!! 😅⁠
.⁠
I am now working on a new set of illustrations that you will be able to buy from my website. I am looking forward to sharing some sneak peaks with you soon xx⁠

This is me at the moment... Soaking in all the won

This is me at the moment... Soaking in all the wonderful days, the beautiful mornings and evenings. ⁠Especially the magical time between light and darkness.⁠
.⁠
I love this view - the starlings gathering together, the sound is magnificent, all excitedly chattering together. It feels so inline with how my mind is. I have so much going through my thoughts at the moment. If I voiced them all I would fit in very well with them! ⁠
.⁠
The organised side of myself has taken a break and I am enjoying the freedom that it has given me. Lots of things have slid, posting on here being one. But the reeeaallly important things haven't. They've become more prominent - which they should be. My family and my home life.⁠
.⁠
Not to say that engaging with you all isn't important - it is. But only when I have something that I think you will all want to read and see. I am working on some lovely commissions and I am also collaborating with a very gifted interior designer - I can't wait to share some of these projects with you soon! New ideas are also taking shape for Little Liefje. Slowly but surely, I hope you all stick around.⁠
.⁠
But for now, like the starlings - I am gathering my thoughts and hopefully soon, they will take flight and create a beautiful view... that's sounds like a cheesy analogy doesn't it... but, well... never mind 😄⁠

I am still taking orders for the 'A Gift for You'

I am still taking orders for the 'A Gift for You' print and just so you are aware, I am still giving half of all profits to the NHS and I will continue to do so. ⁠
.⁠
These prints are perfect for any occasion to spread some love and support. ⁠
.⁠
I hope your week has started off well... I'm so pleased that sun and warmer temperatures are on their return ☀️💛⁠
