Saw a collection of these little guys in gaps window display on my walk home today, reminded me of my knome's. 

Un-happy accidents

I've been applying my final decals to ceramics ready for the kiln, sadly three of my plates cracked, a not-so-happy accident. I've still got two more of the same style plate to be fired, fingers crossed they wont crack too. Luckily I had quite a few more ceramics so all was not lost. These are some of them...

ooo gnomees..

Yesterday I realised I've been spelling the word Gnome wrong, its a silent G, and apparently everyone knows this!! Poor Mr.Knome and his none existing G.....

some things i've been doing lately

Pom-Pom ice creams

Just seen this on peas and needles blog, a super cute window display in Brighton. I want one for my bedroom.

Raymond Peynet - The Lovers

Les Amoureux de Peynet (Peynets lovers), were two characters created by the artist Raymond Peynet. I like these has they tell a story in the illustrations, one which most people can relate to and find heart warmingly romantic, they are sweet depictions of a couple in love. They remind me of my couple I created within my sketchbook briefly called mr and mrs.tangled mess, and made me think along side creating patterns I should try to create greeting cards/prints. I'm currently creating print designs for postcards made up of patterns and fruit with a quirky, sweet message printed on them - similar to a degree to the lovers. 

I think Peynets designs are so cute, and they make you want to own one, I'd like to create a similar sense of wanting when people see my work.
