The first commission is a handmade leather bound sketch/note book...probably going to be around A4 size perhaps slightly bigger...I have made a few of these in the past few months as gifts to people and now I'm being requested to make this one for a price which is kinda exciting knowing my work is so appreciated and liked that someone is willing to pay for my time!
Above is an example one of my handmade leather bound
books created to be gifted as a memory journal.
Next I have been asked to design and illustrate a 60th birthday card in my typical cute cartoon style which I'm quite looking forward to...I love trying to place a persons personality into my artwork...it makes it unique and I know that there will never be another made like it...
An example of one of my illustrated cards gifted to a student
teacher finishing her placement, the piece in the background
is a group project she designed and made with her students.
Finally I am designing an illustrating a number of unique Christmas cards for a friend to pass out to work colleagues...each one will be a cartoon representation of that person that also relates to this friend such as an inside joke or things they have in common...
The Bearded One and I will be working furiously between gaming with friends and eating Christmas foods and watching lots of our favourite shows...which at the moment includes A Town Called Eureka...to get all our Christmas gifts and cards made...he has such a great mind for coming up with unique things for us to create together for our close friends...cannot wait to share how they all turn out and the reactions of the those for who they are for *grins*
Hopefully I will take many photos and share lots...or at least a few times before the BIG day approaches and all my gifts and cards get handed over to their new homes!
Hugs!
