Found here.

A sweet pictorial of a girl and her handmade doll. (Looks like a Jess Brown doll?)

On my wall : penchant for post cards

I have a penchant for new and vintage post cards.
I don't know how many I have, but I recently added another two to my collection.

Here is one of them.
And here is the rest of the wall.

Le Champignon Jean-Michel


I'm in love with this petit champignon made by Effunia.
Isn't he adorable?
Right up my alley :)

Daily drawing : Madame Nun


"Madame Nun"
There won't be much drawing today.
I have two sick little kiddies.

Daily drawing : Monsieur artiste


In order to improve on my skills, I am aiming to draw everyday.
Here is my 'Monsieur artiste' from yesterday.
Quintessentially French, non?
He does remind me of the artists in Place du Tertre who entice you to sit for them by using every trick in the book.
"You have zee most beautiful eyes I have ever seen".
*wink wink*

Don't forget... only a couple of days to go on my giveaway.

Unfinished drawing : Paris


Nearly everything on this blog lately has been a work in progress, and this one is no exception!

I started this drawing soon after I completed this one.
It was after I came back from my trip to Europe and the UK in 2003 and I drew this from one of my photographs.

I have total attention deficit disorder with regards to crafting, with all my flitting from one thing to the other.

But somehow I always come back to drawing.

I'm feeling the urge to pick up the pencil again and do some serious drawing.

Really serious this time.

I'm greatly inspired by this interview with Maira Kalman over here.
She says that her biggest secret to drawing is to perseverance.
"I do the best I can which means I try not to do it right but just to do it as I feel and as I see."
I will have to try and remember that. :-)

My giveaway is still in progress. Leave a comment on any post before Valentine's Day.
I'm happy to send overseas too, so all are welcome.

This is Paris : M Sasek

I am in love with these illustrations of my beloved Paris, by Miroslav Sasek.

As much as I would love this book to be for myself, I bought it for Little Miss for her first birthday (nothing like planning ahead).

This book will *hopefully* be cherished by her for years to come.
