A look at my sketchbook pages...

Finally found some free time to do a little sketchbook work, hopefully I'm going to develop this images into some work for our exhibition this summer! Since starting to teach my watercolour evening class I am rekindling my love for layering up watercolour paints... more to come soon! I'd love to hear what you think :)

Handmade Arcade - 7th April, McCoys Arcade, Exeter

Handmade Arcade organised by the wonderful folk over at No Guts No Glory (Nathan Blaker and Hayley Merchant) is sure to be a wonderful day! This time round I'll have signed prints, rings, badge sets, greetings cards, postcards and even more Marmalade Collective treasure; I'll be selling for the last time until the Christmas fair boom later on in the year so come down and say Hi... 

The event blog is looking awesome so check it out for a peak at what will be happening next Saturday (click here)! There's so many great creative people coming out of the South West at the moment I'll be trying very not not to spend all my pocket money x

P.S - If you can't make it never fear you can find us on ETSY (click here)
