I have been extremely fortunate to become the proud owner of a Cintiq...a toy for grown ups. I've been more than happy enough with my mini bamboo wacom tablet over the last few years, however with the times changing and more jobs needing to be done digitally, I felt it was time to finally get one. These are two of my first attempts from start to finish on the Cintiq and I must say, it's been most enjoyable.

I fancied doing some stitching last week and made a sun...with an hour of starting it the lovely weather we've been having changed to a grey downpour. Thankfully it brightened back up for our break in London. Today it was miserable rain, so I decided to make a rain cloud in the hope that the sun would return...guess what...it did!!!!!!!

Working from home often means I don't leave it for weeks at a time, forget how to communicate with other humans and get fat (very fat). So, in an effort to be like a 'normal' working person, I've been doing some work at my local pharmacy (with my sister the pharmacist ) to get me out of the house. Inspired (and nauseated at times) by the complaints seen, I decided to scribble this. I also, for the first time ever, coloured it in sketchbook pro...very enjoyable!!!!!

My mum and I made a Christening cake this week. I was in charge of the giraffe that topped it. Icing is very difficult to manipulate and starts to crack when faffed about with too much. I am a faffer and an icing addict. I'm going to need a lot of practice in both icing modelling and self discipline....after all....if you eat all the icing, you can't make anything with it. Oh, I also did a little painting of it too.

A small commission for an engagement proposal card I did a few weeks back. I was in the process of computer house-keeping (urg) and thought I'd post it before it gets dropped into a folder and forgotten about.

Whilst 'working' hard, I came across a wonderful page about Racoons as pets and started to scribble. Here is the address (it's long)...

I still cannot stop laughing.
